Warning
OPERATING OUTDOOR POWER EQUIPMENT
Under the laws of several countries or states you are not permitted to operate an internal com-
bustion engine using hydrocarbon fuels on any forest covered, brush covered or grass covered
land or on land covered with grain hay or other flammable agricultural crop, without an
engine spark arrester in continuous effective working order.
The engine on your power equipment, like most outdoor power equipment, is an internal combus-
tion engine that burns gasoline, a hydrocarbon fuel.
Therefore, your power equipment must be equipped with a spark arrester muffler in continuous
effective working order. The spark arrester must be attached to the engine exhaust system in
such a manner that flames or heat from the system will not ignite flammable material.
Failure of the owner/operator of the equipment to comply with this regulation is a misdemeanour
under certain law (e.g. Californian Law), and may also be a violation of other state and or federal
regulations, laws, ordinances, or codes. Contact your local fire marshal or forest service for speci-
fic information about what regulations apply in your area.
The standard muffler installed on the ELIET engines is not equipped with a spark arrester. One
must be added before use if this machine is intended to be used in an area where a spark arres-
ter is required by law. Contact the local authorities if these laws apply to you. See your authori-
zed engine dealer for spark arrester options.

7.2 Safety provisions
Safety switch:
The safety contact on the maintenance hatch for
the blade axle and AxeleroTM prevents contact with
rotating parts. This maintenance hatch can be
opened without the need for tools. When opening, the
safety switch turns off the motor and the drive unit.
The motor can only be restarted if the maintenance
hatch is closed.
Safety lock:
When opened, the maintenance hatch can be locked
into place. This prevents the hatch falling on the ope-
rator and causing injury during maintenance.
Protective cover V-belt:
This metal cap provides protection against rotating
V-belts. The protective cap can only be opened using
tools. The motor must always be off when this cap
is removed. If the protective cap is dismantled or
not fitted correctly, you are strictly prohibited from
starting the machine due to the safety risk.
Sound absorption:
The acoustic housing accommodating the knife drum
gives excellent noise reduction whilst shredding,
therefore, minimising noise nuisance for both the
operator and the surroundings.
Rugged construction :
The robust construction not only adds to the long operating life of the machine, but also provides
additional user safety whenever there is an unforeseen emergency.

17
English
Safety-stop-bracket:
If you press the safety-stop-bracket, the feed roller
stops immediately. The feed roller can only be restar-
ted if this bracket is not depressed.
Parking brake:
The parking brake ensures that the machine does
not move involuntarily during use. Engage this brake
during work or when the machine is to be left.
Safety screen:
The safety screen is specially designed to protect
the operator against flying wood chips Any attempt
by the operator to insert his hands beyond this steel
sheet is strictly forbidden.
The operator must be aware that lifting this plate
means that the protection will be removed and the
risks will increase.
Safety wear :
For your safety, we strongly recommend to use the
safety kit supplied as standard. It contains your
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). This safety set
consists of safety glasses, ear defenders and a pair of
riggers gloves.
Dashboard:
The programmed software on the dashboard provides
additional warnings about incorrect processes.

• The machine is not designed to be subjected to the stated maximum capacity for longer
periods. As a guideline: no more than 10 % of the garden waste that is to be fed into the
machine may have a diameter in excess of 90 mm.
• Never stand on a step when feeding garden waste into the loading hopper.
• Do not use a fork or a shovel to or a fork to feed the machine with garden waste.
• Do not use your feet to feed garden waste in the loading hopper.
• Never work in conditions where light intensity is less than 500 Lux.

above the age of 16 years, who are learning to operate the machine under the supervision of
an experienced operator.
• A disabled person may only operate the machine when under the supervision of an
experienced operator.
• Children and animals must be kept well away from the machine.
• ELIET recommend that the machine should not be lent to others. However, if this is done, only
