Working With The Device - Qualcast SDS2810 Instruction Manual

Preparation

Working with the Device

•
Make sure that the hopper funnel is empty before you start the shredder.
•
Keep your head, hair and body away from the intake opening.
•
Do not reach into the hopper funnel during operation. The shredder will continue to run for a short
period after you switch it off.
•
Always make sure you are standing in a firm, balanced position. Do not lean forwards, and never stand
above the shredder when inserting materials.
• Make sure that the material inserted into the shredder 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
medication. Always take a break when you need one and be sensible about how you work.
• 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 maintenance 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 vibrations
(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 ejection and force the material back up through the funnel.
•
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.
