IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should always be followed including the following. Read all
instructions.
WARNING!
Risk of electric shock!
A faulty electrical installation, excessive line voltage or incorrect
operation may result in an electric shock.
− Connect the paper shredder only to an alternating current
(AC) power supply (120 V). Make sure that the voltage
corresponds with the voltage details on the device.
− Only connect the paper shredder to an easily accessible
socket-outlet near the equipment so that you can quickly
disconnect it from the grid in case of a failure.
− Do not operate the paper shredder if it exhibits visible
damages or if the power cord or plug is defective.
− If the power cord of the paper shredder is damaged, the
manufacturer, its customer service team or a person with
similar qualifications must replace it.
− Do not open the housing; instead, have a qualified
professional perform repairs. Contact a qualified workshop
for this. Liability and warranty claims are waived in
the event of repairs performed by the user, improper
connection or incorrect operation.
− Only parts that comply with the original device data
may be used for repairs. This device contains electrical
and mechanical parts which are essential for providing
protection against sources of danger.
− The paper shredder must not be operated with an
external timer or separate remote control system.
− Do not immerse the paper shredder or power cord in
water or other liquids.
− Never touch the power plug with wet or damp hands.
