Refit the blade onto the blade plate ensuring it is seated in its correct position. Refit the washer
and allen bolt and tighten securely.
•
Refit the the hopper housing onto the shredder housing securely. The bottom of the hopper

Leave all work not described in this manual to an authorised customer service centre. Only
use original parts.
Wear hand protection when working on the blade.

blade stands still. Risk of injury from electric shock, fire and rotating blades.
Do not spray water onto the shredder. Electric shock hazard.

Always keep the shredder, wheels and air vents clean. Use a brush or cloth to clean it, avoid
cleaners and solvents.

Always check that the shredder and especially the guards are not worn down or damaged but
firmly attached before use.
•
Check that the nuts, bolts and screws are tight.
•
Check the covers and guards for damage and improper attachment. If necessary, change the
components.
•
Keep the shredder in a dry place out of children’s reach. Do not cover the shredder in nylon bags,
as moisture may develop.
