Working with the device:
• Make sure that the funnel feeder is empty before
you start the shredder.
• Keep your head, hair and body away from the in-
take opening.
• Do not reach into the funnel feeder during opera-
tion. 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 med-
ication. 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 vi-
brations (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 ejec-
tion 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 ma-
chine makes unusual noises or vibrates in an unusual
way, switch off the motor immediately and allow the
machine to come to rest. Perform the following 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.
m Caution! The following states how damage to the
trimmer 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 oth-
erwise clog up and not be able to start afterwards.
• Do not attempt to repair the shredder yourself un-
less you are qualified to do so. Any work not spec-
ified in this manual may only be carried out by our
service centre.
Electrical safety
m Caution!
The following states how to avoid accidents and inju-
ries 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.
• If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer, a customer
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
repaired by our Service Centre.
• Only use extension cables that have been approved
for outdoor use and are resistant to splash water.
The core diameter for extension cables measuring
up to 25 m must be at least 2.5 mm², and 2.5 mm²
for cables longer than 25m. Always roll the whole
cable off the reel before use. Check the cable for
damage.
• Do not unplug the shredder by the cable. Keep the
cable away from heat, oil and sharp edges
