WARNING: IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
9) DURING OPERATION
• Examine materials before feeding them into the shredder. Make sure to remove
pieces of metal, rocks, bottles, cans or other foreign objects. Before you shred roots,
remove any remaining soil and stones from them. Do not shred soft, damp material
such as kitchen waste.
• Feed materials slowly. Always use the paddle supplied with your shredder to push
items into the hopper. Do not force materials into the hopper. Do not feed materials
larger than the recommended diameter of 1.5 inches, otherwise you may clog the
shredder and damage the machine.
• Keep clear of moving parts and openings. Keep arms, hands and other vital
appendages away from the hopper, blades, and discharge chute. Never put your
hands into the hopper while the shredder is running. Always stand clear of the
discharge zone when operating the shredder. Never reach under the hopper until
the shredder has come to a complete stop and has been disconnected from the
power supply.
• Do not use the shredder unless all guards are in place. Do not operate with any
guard disabled, damaged, or removed. Moving guards must move freely and close
instantly.
• Regularly turn off the machine and clear processed material from the discharge
zone. Buildup near the discharge zone may prevent proper discharge and can
result in kickback of material through the hopper.
• Turn off the shredder and disconnect it from the power supply before you leave the
work area. The blades will continue to rotate for a few seconds after the unit is
turned off.
• If the cutting mechanism strikes a foreign object or if the shredder starts making any
unusual noise or vibration, turn the unit off and allow it to come to a complete stop.
Disconnect from the power supply and inspect the unit for damage. Check for any
loose parts and tighten them as necessary.
• Should any component of your shredder be missing/damaged or fail in any way,
shut off the switch and remove the plug from power supply outlet. Have a certified
technician replace the missing, damaged, or failed parts using only identical
replacement parts before resuming operation.
• If the shredder becomes clogged, turn off the shredder and disconnect it from power
supply. Wait for the blades to come to a complete stop before clearing debris.
• Maintain the shredder with care. Keep the cutting edges sharp and clean to ensure
optimal performance and reduce the risk of injury.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
1) DOUBLE-INSULATED TOOLS
The tool's electrical system is double insulated where two systems of
insulation are provided. This eliminates the need for the usual three-wire
grounded power cord. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded,
nor should a means for grounding be added to the product. All exposed
metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with
protecting insulation.
IMPORTANT: Servicing a double-insulated product requires extreme care and
knowledge of the system, and should be done only by qualified service personnel
using identical replacement parts. Always use original factory replacement parts
when servicing.
2) USE SAFETY GLASSES - Always use face or dust mask if
operation is dusty.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other) and will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The
appliance plug will fit into a polarized extension cord only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain
a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension cord will require the use of
a polarized wall outlet. This plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper wall outlet. Do not change the
equipment plug, extension cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.
• Ground fault circuit interrupter protection (GFCI) should be provided on the circuit or
outlet used for this power tool to reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Service and repair. To avoid danger, electrical appliances must only be repaired by
qualified service technician using original replacement parts.
3) GUIDELINES AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EXTENSION
CORDS
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to be used
according to cord length and ampere rating. When in doubt, use a heavier cord. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
To reduce the risk of disconnection of appliance cord from the extension cord during
operating:
Make a knot as shown in Figure 1.
