shredder that is in good condition. If you notice any defect on the machine that may cause 
danger to the operator, do not operate the shredder until defects are rectified. 

 

Replace worn or damaged parts for safety. Use only original spare parts. Parts not

3. 

Have any damaged parts replaced or repaired with parts having equivalent specifications 

 

Do not allow processed material to build up in the discharge zone; this may prevent proper 
discharge and can result kickback of material through the feed intake opening
