Noise and vibration values have been
determined according to the standards and
regulations named in the declaration of
conformity.
The stated vibration emission value was
measured in accordance with a standard
testing procedure and may be used to com-
pare one power tool to another.
The stated vibration emission value may
also be used for a preliminary exposure
assessment.
Warning:
The vibration emission value may
differ during actual use of the
power tool from the stated value
depending on the manner in which
the power tool is used.
Safety precautions aimed at protect-
ing the user should be based on
estimated exposure under actual
usage conditions (all parts of the
operating cycle are to be consid-
ered, including, for example, times
during which the power tool is
turned off and times when the tool
is turned on but is running idle).

General notes on safety
Warning! Improper use of
this tool may lead to serious
injury. Read this instruction
manual carefully before you
start working with the tool,
and familiarise yourself with
its controls.
If the power cable for this
equipment is damaged, it
must be replaced with a spe-
cial power cable, which is
available from the manufac-
turer or a customer service
agent of the same.
Please read the following
safety guidelines in order
to avoid risk of re, electric
shock, personal injury and
damage to objects:
Preparation:
• This appliance is not intended
for use by persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental ca-
pabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsi-
ble for their safety.
• Children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
• The equipment is to be used
only by people who are ad-
equately trained.
• Never allow children or other
persons unfamiliar with the user
manual to use the shredder. Lo-
cal regulations or bylaws may

8
GB IE NI CY
determine the minimum age for
using the device.
• Never use the tool while others,
especially children or pets, are
close by.
• Remember: the user is responsi-
ble for accidents involving other
people or their property.
• Familiarise yourself with han-
dling the tool and pay attention
to all possible dangers that may
be overheard while working
with the tool.
• Check the terrain on which
you will be using the tool, and
remove stones, sticks, wires or
other foreign objects that may
be caught up and spun off.
• Wear proper working clothes,
such as rm footwear with
non-slip soles and strong long
trousers. Do not use the tool
barefoot or wearing open-toed
sandals.
• Use personal protective equip-
ment. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
• To prevent injury from the tines,
only switch the tool on in its
working position.
• Examine the tool beforehand
every time you use it. Do not
use the tool when the safety
components (such as the power
safety catch or guard), cutting
parts or bolts are missing, worn
or damaged. In particular,
check the mains cable and
dead-man lever for damage.
• Only replace damaged bolts or
tines in complete sets to prevent
imbalance.
• Only use replacement and ac-
cessory parts delivered and
recommended by the manu-
facturer. Using foreign parts
will immediately lead to loss of
guarantee.
Working with the tool:
Keep your hands and feet
away from the tines while
working, especially when
starting up the tool – injury
hazard!
• Observe any noise-prevention
regulations and local by-laws.
• Do not use the tool to chop up
stones or till lawn soil, as such
use may damage the tool.
• Do not use the tool in rain, foul
weather or damp surroundings
(such as near garden ponds or
swimming pools). Only use in
daylight or good lighting condi-
tions.
• Be sensible. Do not use the tool
if you are tired or easily dis-
tracted, or after the use of alco-
hol or medicines. Take a break
as soon as you need one.
• Make sure that you are stand-
ing rmly when using the tool,
especially on slopes. If work-
ing on a slope, work along the
slope, not upwards or down-
wards. Be particularly careful
when changing direction on the
slope. Do not use the tool on
excessively steep slopes.
• If there is any danger of slip-

9
CYNIIEGB
ping on sloped ground, have a
second person secure the tool
with a rod or cable. The second
person should stand up the
slope at a safe distance from
the tool.
• Always hold the tool securely in
both hands while working with
it.
• Make sure that the grips are
dry and clean. Be careful while
moving backwards – danger of
tripping over!
• Take particular care when turn-
ing or raising the machine.
• If the chopping knife is blocked
by a foreign body, switch off
the equipment and disconnect
at the plug. Remove the foreign
body (e.g. root) before restart-
ing the equipment.
• Do not use the tool if it is dam-
aged, incomplete or altered
without the approval of the
manufacturer. In particular, do
not work with the tool if guards
or protection ttings are dam-
aged or missing.
• Do not overload the tool. Only
work in the performance range
stated. Do not use tools that do
not have sufcient power for
heavy jobs. Do not use the tool
for any use other than that in-
tended by the manufacturer.
• Avoid damage to the tool. Do
not apply extra weight and do
not drag the tool over hard sur-
faces such as tiles or steps.
• Remove plants and root remains
regularly in the area of the
drive shaft. Thus, you avoid an
overload and damage the appli-
ance.
• Watch out for special hazards
when working on difcult (Rocky,
hard or similar) soil.
Stopping work:
Warning! The tines will con-
tinue to turn for a few seconds
after you switch the tool off.
Wait until they have stopped
moving – injury hazard!
• Do not lift or transport the tool
while the motor is running. Turn
the tool off and wait for the tines
to stop moving, then disconnect
the tool from the mains before
changing the area you are work-
ing on.
• Never leave the tool unattended
where you were using it.
• Switch the tool off, wait for the
tines to stop moving and discon-
nect the tool from the mains un-
der the following circumstances:
- Always before leaving the tool.
- Before removing remnants of
soil and plants.
- When the tool is not in use.
- Before you conduct mainte-
nance or cleaning work on the
tool.
- If the mains cable is damaged
or caught up.
- If the tool collides with an ob-
stacle or starts to vibrate in an
unusual manner. In this case,
examine the tool for damage,
and have it repaired if neces-
sary.
• Use the tool away from am-
mable uids or gases. Failure to
do so may result in re or explo-
sion.

GB IE NI CY
Maintenance and storage:
• Make sure that all nuts, bolts
and screws are tight and that
the tool is in safe working or-
der.
• Do not attempt to repair the tool
yourself unless you are qualied
to do so. Return the tool to our
service centre to carry out any
work not listed in the user
manual.
• Keep the tool in a dry place out
of children’s reach.
• Be careful in handling the tool.
Keep the tines sharp and clean
to improve its working safety
and effectiveness.
• Follow the maintenance regula-
tions.
Electrical safety:
Warning! Do not use the tool
if the mains or extension ca-
ble is damaged – danger of
electrical shock.
• Keep the mains cable away
from the tines. Always trail the
mains cable behind you or the
person operating the tool. If the
cable becomes damaged dur-
ing use, immediately disconnect
it from the mains.
Never touch the mains cable
before unplugging it from the
mains.
• Make sure that the mains volt-
age matches the data on the
tool’s rating label.
• Avoid skin contact with earthed
objects such as metal fences
and posts.
• Make sure that the connector on
the extension cable is protected
from splash water, and is made
of rubber or has a rubber cover-
ing. Only use extension cables
that are intended for outdoor
use and are labelled as such.
Use extension cables with a
cable core diameter of at least
one square millimetre. Always
completely unwind the cable
reel before use. Check the ca-
ble for damage.
• Use the cable hanger tted for
the purpose when using an ex-
tension cable.
• Do not carry the tool by the ca-
ble. Do not unplug the cable by
tugging on it. Keep the cable
away from heat, oil and sharp
edges.
• Connect the appliance to a
power socket with a residual
current circuit breaker of rated
residual current no more than
30 mA.
Residual risks
Even if properly operating and han-
dling this electric tool, some residual
risks will remain. Due to its construc-
tion and build, this electric tool may
present the following hazards:
a) Cuts
b) Ear damage if working without
ear protection.
c) Damage to your health caused
by swinging your hands and
arms when operating the appli-
ance for longer periods of time
or if the unit is not held or main-
tained properly.
