Electrical Safety; Commissioning - ATIKA AMF 2300 Manual Original

 Switch off the machine and pull the mains
plug from the socket and make sure that
all moving parts have come to a complete
standstill before:
Performing maintenance and cleaning work
−
Eliminating faults
−
Checking connecting lines, whether these are knotted or
−
damaged
Transporting
−
Carrying out repair work
−
Changing the cutting tools
−
Leaving unattended (even during short interruptions)
−
 If the machine s filling funnel or ejection slot is blocked switch
'
off the motor and disconnect the mains plug before removing
material from the filling funnel or ejection slot.
 Do not touch dangerous moving parts before the machine
has been isolated from the electric supply and such moving
parts have come to a dead stop.
 The power or extension cable must be separated from the
supply mains immediately if they are damaged during use.
Do not touch the cable before it is disconnected from mains.
Do not use the machine if the cable is damaged or worn.
 Check the machine for possible damage:
Before further use of the machine the safety devices
−
must be checked carefully for their proper and intended
function.
Check whether movable parts function perfectly and do
−
not stick or whether parts are damaged. All parts must be
correctly installed and fulfil all conditions to ensure
perfect operation of the machine.
Damaged safety devices and parts must be properly
−
repaired or exchanged by a recognized, specialist
workshop; insofar as nothing else is stated in the
instructions for use.
Damaged or illegible safety labels have to be replaced.
−
 Store unused equipment in a dry, locked place out of the
reach of children.
 Store the machine in a place where fuel vapours cannot
come close to open flames or sparks. Always allow the
machine to cool down before storing it.
 Maintain the machine with care and keep it clean.

Electrical safety

 Design of the connection cable according to IEC 60 245 (H
07 RN-F) with a core cross-section of at least
1.5 mm for cable lengths up to 25 m
2
−
2.5 mm for cable lengths over 25 m
2
−
 Long and thin connection lines result in a potential drop. The
motor does not reach any longer its maximal power; the
function of the device is reduced.
 Plugs and coupler outlets on connection cables must be
made of rubber, plasticised PVC or other thermoplastic
material of same mechanical stability or be covered with this
material.
 The connector of the connection cable must be splash-proof.
 When running the connection line observe that it does not
interfere, is not squeezed, bended and the plug connection
does not get wet.

 Keep the extension cable away from dangerous moving parts
to prevent damages to the cable, which can result in touching
live parts.
 Wind off completely the cable when using a cable drum.
 Do not use the cable for purposes for which it is not meant.
Protect the cable against heat, oil and sharp edges. Do not
use the cable to pull the plug from the socket.
 Regularly check the extension cables and replace them if
they are damaged.
 Please note that no damage cable must be connected to the
power supply and no damaged cable may be touched before
it was separated from the power supply since damaged
cables may touch active components.
 Do not use any defective connection cables.
 When working outdoors, only use extension cables
especially approved and appropriately labelled for outdoor
use.
 Do not set up any provisional electrical connections.
 Never bypass protective devices or deactivate them.
 Only hook up the machine by means of a fault-current circuit
breaker (30 mA).
The electrical connection or repairs to electrical parts
of the machine must be carried out by a certified
electrician or one of our customer service points.
Local regulations
–
measures must be observed.
–
If the power cord (if available) of this machine is
damaged, it must be replaced by a specific power cord
that can be purchased from the manufacturer or
customer service.
Repairs to other parts of the machine must be carried
out by the manufacturer or one of his customer service
points.
Use only original spare. Accidents can arise for the
user through the use of other spare parts. The
manufacturer is not liable for any damage or injury
resulting from such action.
Behaviour in an emergency situation
 Initiate all required first aid measures suited for the injury and
seek qualified medical advice as quickly as possible.
 Protect the injured person against further injuries and
immobilise the injured person.

Commissioning

 Check that the machine is completely and correctly
assembled.
 Make sure before starting the machine that the feeding
device (the filling hopper) is empty.
 To avoid toppling, place the shredder on a firm horizontal
surface.
 Avoid working on moist surfaces. A moist surface affects the
safe footing of the machine and increases the risk of
accidents.
 Do not use this machine on a paved or gravel-covered area
on which thrown out material can cause injury.
 Do not work directly near swimming pools or garden ponds.
