electric or mechanical protection equipment.  

•  Only use the shredder during daylight or with 

strong artificial light.  

•  Never place your hands in the feeding funnel 

or the ejection opening.  

•  If the unit emits unusual sounds or vibrations, 

turn  off  the  motor  and  look  for  the  cause.  In 

general, vibrations are a sign of problems.  

•  Ensure that the blade is firmly attached before 

you use the shredder. The device can only be 

operated with a properly installed blade.

•  The shredder must be inspected carefully be-

fore use. Only use machines that are in proper 

functioning order. If you discover any damage 

on or problems with the device which could 

pose a risk to the user, have the damage re-

paired before using the machine again.  

•  Worn out or damaged components must be re-

placed immediately for reasons of safety. Only 

use original replacement parts. Using non-

original parts can lead to defective functioning 

and injury. 

•  Only use the shredder in areas in which it is 

protected from water. Do not expose the de-

vice to rain.

•  Store the shredder in a dry and secure location 

and out of the reach of children.  

•  Younger, disabled or frail individuals may not 

use this device without supervision.   

•  Supervise children in the proximity of the de-

vice to ensure that they do not play with the 

machine. 

2.1 Preparation  

•  Do not allow children to work with this device.  

•  Do not use this device in the presence of by-

standers.  

•  Always wear ear and eye protection during op-

eration.  

•  Avoid wearing loose-fitting clothing and cloth

-

ing with hanging straps and bands.  

• Only use the machine with plenty of open 

space (e.g. not next to a wall or other fixed ob

-

jects) and on a solid, even surface.  

•  Do not use the machine on a paved surface 

or on gravel where ejected objects could case 

injury.   

•  Before using, check all screws, nuts bolts and 

other fastening equipment to ensure that they 

are secure. Also check the protection and 

shielding equipment. Replace damaged and 

illegible stickers. 

2.2 Operation  

•  Before activation, inspect the collection con-

tainer to ensure that it is empty.  

•  Do not place your face or body near the feed-

ing funnel.  

•   Do not place hands, other body parts, or cloth-

ing into the feeding funnel or ejection opening.  

•   Always place both feet on the ground securely. 

Do not bend over the unit. When feeding the 

machine never stand higher than the surface 

on which the machine is located.

•  Always keep clear of the ejection area during 

operation.  

•  When adding material thoroughly ensure that 

there are no pieces of metal, stones, bottles, 

cans or other foreign objects.  

•  If the a foreign object ends up in the cutting 

mechanism or if the machine starts to produce 

unusual noises or vibrations, shut down the 

device, wait until the blade stops, unplug the 

device from the mains, remove the sparkplug 

cable and the sparkplug, and proceed as fol-

lows: 

1. Check the damages. 

2. Check for loose parts and tighten them. 

3. Replace any damaged parts or repair with 

replacement parts (with the same specifica

-

tions).  

•  Do not let the shredded material pile up in the 

ejection area. This could prevent proper ejec-

tion or cause this material to recoil through the 

filling opening.   

•  If the machine starts to clog, shut it down (un-

plug the device from the mains) before fixing 

the clog. Keep the power unit free from waste 

and other build-up to avoid damage and po-

tential risk of fire. Remember that the blades 

continue to operate after the machine is shut 

down.  

•  Keep all protection and shielding equipment in 

good condition.

•  Do not tinker with the motor controller settings.
