Motor Protection; Working With The Garden Shredder - ATIKA AMA 2300 Manual Original

 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 acci-
dents.
 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.
 The machine should only be operated in the open. Always
maintain a safe distance (at least 2 m) from walls or other
fixed objects.
 Do not operate the machine in bad weather conditions.
 Before each use, check
the supply / extension cable for damages (cracks, cuts or
−
the like) or ageing (brittleness).
Do not use defective supply or extension cables.
there are no damage at the machine (see safety instruc-
−
tions).
Make sure that the shredder tool is neither worn out nor
−
damaged and that it is properly secured.
that all screws, nuts and bolts as well as other fasteners
−
are securely tightened
that covers, deflectors and protective shields are on their
−
correct position and in good working condition.
Mains connection
 Compare the voltage given on the machine model plate e.g.
230 V with the mains voltage and connect the machine to the
relevant and properly earthed plug.
 Connect the machine via a circuit breaker switch (residual-
current-operated circuit switch) 30 mA.
 Always use three-conductor extension cables with connected
earthing conductor and sufficient cross section.

Electrical mains supply impedance
When conditions in the electrical mains supply are un-favourable,
voltage reductions for short periods can occur during the process
of turning on the equipment, which can adversely affect other
equipment (e.g., the flickering of a lamp).
No breakdowns are to be expected if the maximum, electrical
mains supply impedances given in the table are met.

 Choose a working position alongside the equipment.
 Provide a safe standing position and keep at any time the
balance. Do not lean forward. When placing material into the
shredder, always stand on the same level as the machine.
When placing material into the shredder, always stand on the
same level as the machine.
 Always keep away from the ejection area when starting the
machine.
Longer material that is protruding from the device

could spring back when it is drawn in by the blades! Ob-
serve safety distance!
 Never reach into the filling or ejection opening.
 Keep your face and body away from the filling opening.
 Never place hands, other parts of the body or clothing into the
filler funnel, ejection channel or in the vicinity of other moving
parts.
 Check that no chopped residues are in the filling hopper be-
fore switching on the equipment.
