Exercise care when starting and observe
the instructions contained in the section
entitled "Initial operation of machine".
(
10.)
Do not stand in front of the discharge
opening when starting the engine or
switching on the motor. There must be no
shredding material in the garden shredder
when it is started or switched on.
Shredding material may be ejected and
lead to injuries.
The machine must not be tilted during
start-up.
Avoid switching the machine on repeatedly
within a short period of time; particularly
avoid "playing" with the On- / Off switch.
Risk of motor overheating.
Owing to the voltage fluctuations caused
by this machine during the start-up, other
devices connected to the same circuit may
be subject to interference in the case of
unfavourable power supply conditions.
In this case, appropriate steps should be
taken (e.g. connection to a different circuit
than the one used by the affected device,
or operation of the machine using a circuit
with a lower impedance).
Working:
Risk of injury!
Never place your hands or feet
above, underneath or on rotating
parts.
When the machine is running, never put
your face or any other part of your body
above the feed chute or in front of the
ejection opening. Always keep you head
and body away from the feed opening.
36
Never put your hands or any
other part of your body or
clothing into the feed chute or
ejection chute. There is a
considerable risk of injury to eyes, face,
fingers, hands etc.
Always maintain your balance and firm
footing. Do not stretch forward.
The splash guard must not be tampered
with (removed, folded up, jammed into
position, damaged etc.) during operation.
The operator must stand in the working
area described when feeding the
shredder. Stay inside the working area and
outside of the ejection zone at all times
during operation of the machine. (
Risk of injury:
Shredding material may be ejected back
up during operation. Always wear safety
glasses and keep your face away from the
feed opening.
Never tilt the machine when the engine or
motor is running.
If the machine falls over during operation,
immediately switch off the motor and
disconnect the mains plug.
Make sure that there is no shredding
material blocking the ejection chute, as
this could result in a poor shredding
performance or kickbacks.
When feeding the garden shredder, pay
particular attention to ensuring that no
foreign objects such as bits of metal,
stones, plastic, glass, etc. get into the
shredding chamber as this could result in
damage or kickbacks from the feed chute.
Remove blockages for the same reason.
Kickbacks can occur when feeding the
garden shredder with branch material.
Wear gloves.
Beware of the cutting tool
running on for several seconds
before coming to a standstill.
Switch off the motor, disconnect
the mains plug and allow all
rotating tools to reach a complete standstill
– before leaving the machine unattended
– before repositioning, lifting, carrying,
tilting, pushing or pulling the machine
– before unscrewing the closure screws
and opening the machine
– before transporting the machine
– before removing blockages at the
cutting unit, in the feed chute or in the
8.4)
discharge chute
– before carrying out any work on the
blade disc
– before checking or cleaning the
machine or before carrying out any
other work on it.
If foreign objects get into the cutting tool or
if the machine makes unusual noises or
vibrates in an unusual way, switch off the
motor immediately and allow the machine
to come to rest. Detach the mains plug,
remove the feed chute and perform the
following steps:
– Check the machine, in particular the
cutting unit (blade, blade discs, blade
mounting, blade fastening screw,
clamping ring) for damage and have
any necessary repairs carried out by a
technician before starting again and
working with the machine.
– Check that all parts of the cutting unit
are seated securely, retighten the
screws if necessary (observe tightening
torques).
