Overload Protection; Safety Lock - Lea LE54240-40B Manual De Instrucciones

7.2 Overload protection

Overload (e.g. blocking up of the cutting blades) leads to a standstill of the machine after a
few seconds. To protect the motor from being damaged, the overload switch (6) will cut the
mains automatically. Wait at least 1 minute before restarting by first pressing the reset button
and then the on/off switch.
In the event of blocking of the cutting blade, turn the rotational direction switch to the right
position before switching the shredder on again .
If the motor does not restart, do the following:
•
Remove the plug from the mains socket.
•
Loosen the hand screw (7) and open the top part upwards.
•
Clean carefully the cutting and discharge parts and remove any objects that could
obstruct the blades.
•
Put the top part back and tighten the hand screw firmly.
•
Press the reset button before pressing the On/Off switch.

7.3 Safety lock

If the top part does not fit perfectly and sit fast on the bottom part, the SAFETY SWITCH is

•
Remove the plug from the mains socket.
•
Remove the top part, as described in the previous paragraph.
•
Clean carefully the cutting and discharge parts and remove any objects that could
obstruct the blades.
•
Put them together again and tighten the hand screw firmly.
