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 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 fit-
ting clothes or clothes with dan-
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.
•
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 and shields must be fas-
tened properly and in good work-
ing order. Replace any damaged
or illegible stickers.
•
Only use replacement parts and
accessories supplied and recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
Using third-party parts will imme-
72
diately invalidate the guarantee.
•
Do not leave the shredder work-
ing 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 exten-
sion cable and socket are prop-
erly earthed.
•
While being used in the open,
connect the shredder to a RCD
(Residual Current Device) 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 feed-
er during operation. The shred-
der will continue to run for a short
period after you switch it off.
•
Always stay outside of the ejec-
tion zone during initial operation
of the equipment.
•
Always make sure you are stand-
ing in a firm, balanced position.
Do not lean forwards, and never
stand above the shredder when
inserting materials.
•
Make sure that the material in-
serted 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 lighting
conditions.
•
Do not operate the shredder
when you are tired or distracted,
or under the influence of alcohol
