SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

TRAINING

Read these instructions carefully before use, and familiarise yourself with the controls on the product and how they are used.

PREPARATIONS

• Do not allow children to use the product. Keep children under supervision to make sure they do not play with the product.
• Keep onlookers, especially children, and pets at a safe distance when using the product.
• Wear ear protection and safety glasses.
• Do not wear loose-fitting clothing, ties, scarves, etc., that can get caught in moving parts.
• Only use the product in an open area (not near a wall or other fixed object) and on a firm, level surface.
• Do not use the machine in areas where ejected material could cause personal injury.
• Always check before use that all the screw unions and other unions are properly tightened and that all the safety devices are in place and working. Replace any stickers that have become illegible or lost.
• Place the product on a level, stable surface.

HOW TO USE

• Risk of personal injury as a result of parts being ejected. Keep at a safe distance. The minimum safe distance for onlookers is 15 meters when the product is in use.

• Check before starting that the infeed is empty.

• Keep your head and other parts of your body away from the infeed opening.

• Keep your hands and other parts of your body, including your clothing, away from the infeed, the ejector, and moving parts.

• Always maintain a firm footing and good balance. Do not overreach. Never stand higher up than the product when feeding.

• When feeding makes sure that no metal, stones, glass, soil, plastic, or other foreign objects get into the product.

• If the roller knocks against a foreign object, or if the product starts vibrating or making an abnormal noise, switch off the product immediately, pull out the plug, and wait until all moving parts have completely stopped. Pull out the plug and take the following precautions.
  – Check the product for damage.
  – Check and tighten any loose unions.
  – Have any damaged parts repaired or replaced with parts of the same type.

• Do not allow processed material to collect in the ejector. This can prevent proper emptying and can result in material being thrown out through the infeed opening.

• If the product gets blocked, switch off the product, pull out the plug and wait until all moving parts have completely stopped before clearing the blockage. Keep the
  motor free from debris and other deposits to prevent a fire and/or material damage.

• The safety devices must be fitted correctly and work properly.

• Do not transport the product when the motor is running.

• Switch off the product, pull out the plug and wait until all moving parts have completely stopped before leaving the product unattended.

• Do not tilt the product when the motor is running.

WARNING!
The roller continues to rotate for some time after the product has been switched off.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

• Switch off the product, pull out the plug and wait until all moving parts have completely stopped before checking, adjusting, maintaining, and/or replacing accessories, and before putting them into storage. Allow the product to cool before checking, adjusting, maintaining, or replacing accessories, and before putting them into storage.
• Be careful when working near the roller and the fixed blade. The roller can move even when the motor is not running.
• Be careful when cleaning and/or carrying out maintenance. Wear safety gloves – the risk of cut injuries.
• Allow the product to cool before putting it into storage.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Check that the rated voltage of the product corresponds to the main supply voltage.
• The product must be connected to the main supply with a residual current device with a maximum tripping current of 30 mA.
• Only use an extension cord approved for outdoor use. Extension cords up to 25 m must have a cross-sectional wire area of at least 1.5 mm², and extension cords longer than 25 m have a cross-sectional area of at least 2.5 mm². If an extension cord is used on a reel, pull out the full length of cord. Check the power cord for damage.
• Do not pull the power cord to pull out the plug. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

TECHNICAL DATA

Always wear ear protection!

The declared values for vibration and noise, which have been measured by a standardized test method, can be used to compare different tools with each other and for a  preliminary assessment of exposure. The measurement values have been determined in accordance with EN 50434:2014.

WARNING!

The actual vibration and noise level when using tools may differ from the specified maximum value, depending on how the tool is used and the material. It is, therefore, necessary to determine which safety precautions are required to protect the user, based on an estimate of exposure in actual operating conditions (taking into account all stages of the work cycle, e.g. the time when the tool is switched off and when it is idling, in addition to the start- up time).

HOW TO USE

• Put the material to be shredded through the right side of the opening. It is pulled automatically into the product because the blade plate rotates anticlockwise.
• Do not completely fill the opening, this can cause the product to become blocked.
• Feed wet garden waste intermittently with branches to avoid the risk of blocking.
• Wet kitchen waste must not be run through the product and should be composted.
• Branches with leaves must pass all the way through and out from the product before more material is fed in. Check that the shredded material can drop freely down into the bin without blocking the outlet.
• Make sure that the ventilation openings are not blocked by shredded material.
• The feeding of thick branches opening causes the product to become blocked.
• Soft material, such as leaves and shoots, can block the inlet. Feed it in with the feeder.
• Check that the material to be shredded does not contain nails, stones, or other foreign objects, which can seriously damage the product.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Switch off the product and pull out the plug before maintenance and/or cleaning. Always wear gloves when handling the blade plate.
Keep the product clean for the best functionality and life span.

• Clean the product after it has been used.
• Do not allow material to dry out on the surface of the product, this reduces the shredding capacity.
• Keep the inlet and outlet clean and free from waste and residue.
• Check that all screw unions are properly tightened at regular intervals.
• Worn or damaged parts should be repaired or replaced by qualified personnel.
