SAFE OPERATION RULES | MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Only use the equipment in open space (i.e. at a safe distance from walls and similar objects, for example).
Work on firm and level surface.
Do not use the equipment on paved or gritty surface where danger of injury could occur due to the
processed material being thrown out.
Before starting the machine, make sure that all bolts, clamps, nuts and other fasteners are correctly fitted
and protective devices such as covers and barriers are in place. Remove damaged and illegible labels
from the machine.
Operation
Before starting the machine, please check if the filling chamber is empty.
Keep your face and body at a safe distance from the feed opening.
Do not move your hands or other body parts or clothes closer to the filling chamber (hereinafter only the
hopper), output chute (hereinafter only the spout) or any other moving part of the machine.
Don’t lean. When filling the hopper, never stand above the machine base level.
When using this equipment, always keep away from the output, or spout zone.
Make sure that no foreign objects such as stones, glass or metal get into the shredder.
If a shredding element collides with a foreign object or if unusual noise or vibrations appear, turn off the
power supply and stop the machine. Perform the following steps:
- check and fix loose movable parts.
- repair damage parts or replace them for new ones with equivalent properties.
Prevent the processed material from gathering in the spout area, as otherwise damage might occur
leading to a possible backlash in the hopper zone.
If a machine blocking occurs, turn off the drive unit before you start removing the dirt. Prevent the
processed material chips from getting into the unit and protect the material from permanent damage or
ignition.
Keep all covers and deflectors in good condition and in place.
Never move the equipment while the drive unit is running.
Whenever you leave the equipment, please turn off the drive unit and unplug the equipment.
Never tilt the shredder if powered.
Keep the extension cord(s) away from the shredding mechanism parts. This may result in their damage
and electric shock.
5. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
If you are about to perform a service inspection of the equipment, store the equipment or replace any of
its parts, turn off the drive, unplug the equipment and make sure that all movable machine parts have
stopped. Before you start to perform the scheduled activity, wait until the equipment has completely
cooled down.
Allow the equipment to cool down before cleaning.
When performing a service repair of the machine’s shredding mechanism, please note that the
mechanism can be also started manually despite the safety switch stop.
Keep the valves/motor openings clear - not only of the shredded material residues, but also of all debris
gathered here.This will eliminate risk of fire.
