using the shredder.
• Wear appropriate protective clothing such as pro-
tective gloves, firm footwear and long trousers. Do

gling cords or belts.
• Only use the shredder in the open (that is, away
from walls or other rigid structures) on a firm, level
surface.

which could be damaged by ejected material.
• Before you start up the shredder, check that all of
the nuts, bolts and other fastenings are tight. Cov-
ers must be fastened properly and in good working
order. Replace any damaged or illegible stickers.
• Only use replacement parts and accessories sup-
plied and recommended by the manufacturer. Us-
ing third-party parts will immediately invalidate the
guarantee.

keep it in a dry place out of children's reach.
• Only connect the shredder to a properly earthed
mains power supply. Make sure that the extension
cable and socket are properly earthed.
• While being used in the open, connect the shredder
to a residual current (RC) circuit breaker with a trip
current of not more than 30 mA.
• Always stand clear of the discharge zone when op-
erating the machine.
Working with the device:
• Make sure that the funnel feeder is empty before
you start the shredder.
• Keep your head, hair and body away from the in-
take opening.
• Do not reach into the funnel feeder during opera-
tion. The shredder will continue to run for a short

anced position. Do not lean forwards, and never
stand above the shredder when inserting materials.
