Examine the grass trimmer for signs of wear or
damage each time before you use it and after any
collisions. Have essential repairs carried out
without delay.
Never use replacement parts or accessories which
are not foreseen or recommended by the
manufacturer.
Pull out the power plug before carrying out any
inspection, cleaning or other work on the trimmer
and whenever it is not being used.
Before you begin your work, examine the material
you want to shred. Remove any foreign bodies.
Continue to watch out for foreign bodies while you
are working. If you come across any foreign
bodies while shredding, shut down the machine
and remove the items in question.
Keep the machine away from other persons,
particularly children and pets.
Use the machine only in the way described in
these operating instructions.
The electric circuit must be protected at least by a
10A fuse.
The efficiency of the machine will be greatly
reduced if a connecting cable with too small a
cross section is used. A conductor cross section of
at least 3x1.5 mm2 is required for cables up to 25
m long, and one of at least 3x2.5 mm2 for cables
longer than 25 m.
If the machine has to be lifted for transporting, be
sure to switch off the motor first and wait for the
cutter to come to a standstill. Each time before you
leave the machine, switch off the motor and pull
out the power plug. Before you connect the
machine to the power supply, make sure that the
loading funnel is properly connected to the motor
housing and the release screw tightened.
If the garden refuse shredder vibrates excessively,
turn off the motor, pull out the power plug, and find
out immediately what is causing the vibrations.
Intensive vibration is usually a sign that something
is wrong.
Caution! The cutters continue to run for a few
seconds after the motor is switched off.
2. Description of the warning sign (see
Fig. 1) on the machine
1. Caution! Rotating cutters. Keep away!
2. Always set the ON/OFF switch to OFF and
pull the power plug out of the socket-outlet
before doing any work on the shredder, e.g.
cleaning the shredder and making
adjustments, or if the power cable becomes
damaged.
