• Do not leave the shredder wor-
king 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 fee-
der 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
ejection zone during initial
operation 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 in-
serted into the shredder does
not contain hard objects made
of metal, stone, glass or simi-
lar.
• Do not use the shredder in the
rain and in bad weather. Work
in daylight or under good ligh-
ting conditions.
• Do not operate the shredder
when you are tired or dis-
tracted, or under the influence
of alcohol or medication. Al-
ways take a break when you
need one and be sensible
about how you work.
• Switch the shredder off and
pull the plug under the follow-
ing circumstances:
- when you are not using the de-
vice,
- transporting it or leaving it
unattended;
- before releasing a jammed bla-
de.
- when you are checking the
device, cleaning it or removing
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 ma-
terial to accumulate near the
ejection area. This may other-
wise hinder 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-
