• 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 make sure you are standing in a firm, bal-
anced position. Do not lean forwards, and never
stand above the shredder when inserting materials.
• Make sure that the material inserted into the shred-
der does not contain hard objects made of metal,
stone, glass or similar.
• Do not use the shredder in the rain and in bad
weather. Work in daylight or under good lighting
conditions.
• Do not operate the shredder when you are tired or
distracted, or under the influence of alcohol or medi-
cation. Always take a break when you need one.
• Switch the shredder off and pull the plug under the
following circumstances:
• when you are not using the device,
• transporting it or leaving it unattended;
• before releasing a jammed blade.
• when you are checking the device, cleaning it or
removing blockages;
• when you are carrying out cleaning or mainte-
nance 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 material to accumulate near
the ejection area. This may otherwise hinder proper
ejection and force the material back up through the
feeder.
• Do not transport or tip the shredder with the motor
running.
• 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 disconnect the
machine from the mains before removing leftover
material in the intake opening or ejection channel.
Ensure that the motor is free of rubbish and other
accumulations in order to safeguard the motor from
damage or possible fire. Remember that the cutting
tool is also activated when the starting mechanism
is started on a motor operated machine.
• If foreign objects get into the cutting tool or if the
machine makes unusual noises or vibrates in an
unusual way, switch off the motor immediately and
allow the machine to come to rest. Perform the fol-
lowing steps:
• Check the machine for damage.
• Check that all parts are seated securely and
retighten them, if necessary.
• Have any parts replaced or repaired; the parts
must be of similar quality.
• Make sure that all covers and shields are in place
and in good working condition.
Caution! The following states how damage to the trim-
mer and possible injury to people can be avoided:
• Clean the ventilation slits regularly; keep to the
maintenance instructions.
• Do not overload your device. Work only within the
indicated range of performance. Do not employ any
low power machines for heavy work. Do not use
your device for purposes for which it has not been
designed.
• Only switch the shredder off once the funnel feeder
is completely empty since the shredder may other-
wise clog up and not be able to start afterwards.
• Do not attempt to repair the shredder yourself unless
you are qualified to do so. Any work not specified in
this manual may only be carried out by our service
centre.
Electrical safety
Caution! The following states how to avoid accidents
and injuries due to electric shock:
• Use the tension relief provided for the fixing of the
extension cord.
• Damaged cables, coupling and plugs or connecting
leads not corresponding to specifications, must not
be employed. Remove the plug immediately from the
plug socket in case of damage to the mains cable.
Do not touch the mains power supply cable under
any circumstances until you have pulled the plug out
of the mains socket.

it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a custom-
er service agent of the same or a similarly qualified
person in order to prevent hazards.
• Do not use the appliance if the on/off switch does
not work properly. Always have a damaged switch
