Service 

 

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical 
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. 

6  ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR SHREDDERS

If the machine becomes blocked, stop the motor and disconnect the plug. Pull out any 
objects and check for damage. 

 

If the fuse blows or if the overload protection is triggered, this is a sign that the machine is 
overloaded and/or that too many appliances are connected to the same extension cable. 
Check the cause and remedy. Do not install a more powerful fuse. 

 

Do not tug on the extension cable. Do not hold the cable taut. This can cause damage in 
the plugs or in the cables insulation. Such damage is invisible but can be dangerous. 

 

Always keep the extension cable away from the machine. Disconnect the plug from the 
electric socket and check the cable regularly for signs of damage or aging. Do not use the 
machine with a damaged extension cable. 

 

If the cable is damaged, it must be replaced by an authorized service centre in order to 
avoid a hazard. 

 

Never move the machine by pulling the cable. The machine must not be moved with the 
motor running. 

 

The shredder must be assembled correctly before use.

good condition before use. 

 

Before inserting the plug in the mains socket, make sure that the socket ratings are correct 
and correspond to those indicated on the rating label on the shredder. 

 

Always switch off the shredder before disconnecting any plug and socket connector or 
extension cables. 

 

Keep children and pets away. All onlookers should be kept a safe distance away from the 
shredder when it is in use.
