Caution! When using power
tools, observe the following
basic safety measures for
the prevention of electric
shocks and the risk of injury
and fire:
Preparation:
• Never use the shredder with
other persons or animals near-
by.
• Wear hearing and eye protec-
tion at all times when using the
shredder.
• Wear appropriate protective
clothing such as protective
gloves, firm footwear and long
trousers. Do not wear loosely
fitting clothes or clothes with
dangling cords or belts.
• Only use the shredder in the
open (that is, away from walls
or other rigid structures) on a
firm, level surface.
• Do not use the machine on a
paved, gravelled area, which
could be damaged by ejected
material.
• Before you start up the shred-
der, check that all of the nuts,
bolts and other fastenings are
tight. Covers and shields must
be fastened properly and in
good working order. Replace
any damaged or illegible stick-
ers.
• Only use replacement parts
and accessories supplied and
recommended by the manu-
facturer. Using third-party parts
will immediately invalidate the
guarantee.
• Do not leave the shredder
working unattended and keep it
80
in a dry place out of children's
reach.
• Only connect the shredder to a
properly earthed mains power
supply. Make sure that the ex-
tension cable and socket are
properly earthed.
•
Connect the appliance to a
power socket with a residual
current circuit
Working with the device:
• Make sure that the funnel feed-
er is empty before you start the
shredder.
• Keep your head, hair and body
away from the intake opening.
• Do not reach into the funnel
feeder during operation. The
shredder will continue to run for
a short period after you switch
it off.
• Always make sure you are
standing in a firm, balanced
position. Do not lean forwards,
and never stand above the
shredder when inserting mate-
rials.
• Make sure that the material
inserted into the shredder does
not contain hard objects made
of metal, stone, glass or similar.
• Do not use the shredder in the
rain and in bad weather. Work
in daylight or under good light-
ing conditions.
• Do not operate the shredder
when you are tired or distract-
ed, or under the influence of
alcohol or medication. Always
take a break when you need
one and be sensible about how
you work.
