working unattended and keep it
in a dry place out of children's
reach.
• If operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable,
use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use
of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
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 stay outside of the ejec-
tion zone during initial opera-
tion of the equipment.
• 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.
• Switch the shredder off and pull
the plug under the following cir-
cumstances:
- 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 remov-
ing 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 shred-
der for damage before start-
ing it up again).
• Do not allow shredded material
to accumulate near the ejection
area. This may otherwise hin-
der proper ejection and force
the material back up through
the feeder.
• Do not transport or tip the
shredder with the motor run-
ning.
• 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 dis-
connect the machine from the
mains before removing leftover
