•
Pull out the power plug before carrying out any inspection, cleaning or other work
on the shredder and whenever it is not being used.
•
Before you begin your work, examine the material you want to shred. Remove any
foreign bodies.
•
Continue to watch out for foreign bodies while you are working. If you come across
any foreign bodies while shredding, shut down the machine and remove the items
in question.
•
Keep the machine away from other persons, particularly children and pets.
•
Use the machine only in the way described in these operating instructions.
•
The electric circuit must be protected at your Distribution Board at least by
a 16A fuse.
•
The efficiency of the machine will be greatly reduced if a connecting cable with
too small a cross section is used. A conductor cross section of at least 3x1.5 mm
2
is
required for cables up to 25 m long, and one of at least 3x2.5 mm
2
for cables longer
than 25 m.
•
If the machine has to be lifted for transporting, be sure to switch off the motor
first and wait for the cutter to come to a standstill. Each time before you leave the
machine, switch off the motor and pull out the power plug. Before you connect
the machine to the power supply, make sure that the loading funnel is properly
connected to the motor housing and the release screw tightened.
•
If the garden refuse shredder vibrates excessively, turn off the motor, pull out the
power plug, and find out immediately what is causing the vibrations. Intensive
vibration is usually a sign that something is wrong.
•
Do not wear loose clothing or clothing with hanging belts or cords.
•
Do not use the machine on a paved area that has been gravelled where discharged
material may cause injuries.
•
Ensure that the loading funnel inlet is empty before you start the machine.
•
Keep your head and body away from the infeed opening.
•
Do not move your hands, other body parts or clothing into the infeed chamber,
ejector chute or near other moving parts.
•
Make sure that you are balanced and standing on a firm surface at all times.
Do not stretch forwards.
•
Never stand higher than the machine when feeding material into it.
•
Keep away from the discharge zone when you start the machine.
