edge, unless they have been given supervision or in-
struction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
• Never allow children or other persons unfamiliar with
the user manual to use the shredder. Local regula-
tions or bylaws may determine the minimum age for
using the shredder.
Observe noise control and local regulations.
Caution! When using power tools, observe the follow-
ing 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
nearby.
• Wear hearing and eye protection at all times when
using the shredder.
• Wear appropriate protective clothing such as protec-
tive 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 shredder, check that all of
the nuts, bolts and other fastenings are tight. Covers
must be fastened properly and in good working order.
Replace any damaged or illegible stickers.
• Only use replacement parts and accessories supplied
and recommended by the manufacturer. Using third-
party parts will immediately invalidate the guarantee.
• Do not leave the shredder working unattended and
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.
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 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 materials.
• 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 weath-
er. Work in daylight or under good lighting conditions.
• Do not operate the shredder when you are tired or

distracted, or under the influence of alcohol or medi-
cation. Always take a break when you need one.
• Switch the shredder off and pull the plug under the
following circumstances:
- when you are not using the device,
- transporting it or leaving it unattended;
- before releasing a jammed blade.
- when you are checking the device, cleaning it or re-
moving blockages;
- when you are carrying out cleaning or maintenance
work or replacing accessories;
- Before moving or lifting the shredder
- If foreign objects should enter the shredder, if the
shredder is making unfamiliar noises or vibrations
(check the shredder for damage before starting it up
again)
• Do not allow shredded material to accumulate near
the ejection area. This may otherwise hinder proper
ejection and force the material back up through the
feeder.
• Do not transport or tip the shredder with the motor
running.
• Keep hands, other body parts and clothing out of the
filling chamber and ejection channel and away from
other moving parts.
• In the event of blockages in the machine intake or
ejection, switch off the motor and disconnect the ma-
chine from the mains before removing leftover mate-
rial in the intake opening or ejection channel. Ensure
that the motor is free of rubbish and other accumula-
tions in order to safeguard the motor from damage or
possible fire. Remember that the cutting tool is also
activated when the starting mechanism is started on
a motor operated machine.
CAUTION! The following states how damage to the
trimmer and possible injury to people can be avoided:
• Clean the ventilation slits regularly; keep to the main-
tenance instructions.
• Do not overload your device. Work only within the in-
dicated range of performance. Do not employ any low
power machines for heavy work. Do not use your de-
vice for purposes for which it has not been designed.
• Only switch the shredder off once the funnel feeder is
completely empty since the shredder may otherwise
clog up and not be able to start afterwards.
• Do not attempt to repair the shredder yourself unless
you are qualified to do so. Any work not specified in
this manual may only be carried out by our service
centre.
Electrical safety
CAUTION! The following states how to avoid accidents
and injuries due to electric shock:
• Use the tension relief provided for the fixing of the
extension cord.
• Damaged cables, coupling and plugs or connecting
leads not corresponding to specifications, must not
be employed. Remove the plug immediately from the
