3 - Personal safety
Most accidents occur while the operator is
using the machine or during maintenance,
and are caused by lack of attention with
basic safety precautions. It is, therefore,
important to be aware of the potential risks of
an action, paying attention to their effects.
Take precautions against accidental
running. Make sure the switch is set to "off"
before plugging the equipment in. Failure to
do so may cause a major accident.
Beware with what is going on and use
common sense when operating the
equipment. Do not use it when you are
tired, distracted or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medicine. A slight
distraction may result in a severe injury.
Wear protection equipment. Always wear
goggles. Wearing protection equipment
like gloves, shoes, and ear plugs increases
your protection and reduces the risk of an
accident.
Wear proper clothes. Wear neither loose
clothes nor jewelry as they can accidentally
get caught by the movable parts. If you have
long hair, tie it safely.
Remove all objects before turning on the
equipment. A tool or any other object stuck
in the movable parts of the equipment may
result in an injury.
4 - Use and care
Do not use the equipment if the switch
does not turn on/off. The equipment
can not be controlled if the on/off switch
is damaged. A defective switch shall be
immediately repaired.
Switch off the circuit breaker, remove
the fuses or unplug the equipment before
servicing, replacing the cutting blades
and accessories. These safety preventive
measures reduce the risk of accidental
operation of the equipment.
50
Do not overuse the equipment. Use it in
the right way and for the purposes described
in this manual for better performance and
safety while working.
Do not allow people that are not
familiarized with the equipment to use
it. The equipment may become dangerous
in the hands of people not familiar with its
operation.
Preserve your equipment. Frequently
check if the movable parts are secured,
if any component is damaged or check
for any other condition that may affect
optimum operation. Shall any problem
arise, fix it before using the equipment.
Many accidents are caused by lack of proper
maintenance.
Keep the cutting blade sharp and clean.
Use the equipment and accessories
according to the instructions in this
manual. Take in consideration the
working conditions and the service to be
done. Using the equipment for operations
other than those in this manual may result in
dangerous situations and risk of accident.
Do not shred stones, glass, metals,
plastic, packages of chemical products
(perfumes, cleaning products, paint, etc.)
or other materials that may damage the
shredder.
Attention!
The cutting blade keeps moving after the
equipment is switched off. Be aware of that
when servicing.
