d) Operate the machine in a recommended position and
only on a firm, level surface.
e) Do not operate the machine on a paved or gravel sur-
face where ejected material could cause injury.
f) Before using, always visually inspect to see, that the
shredding means, shredding means bolts and other
fasteners are secure, the housing is undamaged and
that guards and screens are in place. Replace worn
or damaged components in sets to preserve balance.
Replace damaged or unreadable labels.
g) Before use, check the supply and extension cord for
signs of damage or aging. If the cord becomes dam-
aged during use, disconnect the cord from the supply
immediately. DO NOT TOUCH THE CORD BEFORE

a) Before starting the machine, make certain that the
feeding chamber is empty.
b) Keep your face and body away from the feed intake
opening.
c) Do not allow hands or any other part of the body or
clothing inside the feeding chamber, discharge chute,
or near any moving part.
d) Keep proper balance and footing at all times. Do not
overreach. Never stand at a higher level than the
base of the machine when feeding material into it.
e) Always stand clear of the discharge zone when
operating this machine.
f) When feeding material into the machine be extremely
careful that pieces of metal, rocks, bottles, cans or
other foreign objects are not included.

or if the machine should start making any unusual
noise or vibration, immediately shut off the power
source and allow the machine to stop. Disconnect
the machine from the supply and take the following
steps before restarting and operating the machine:
– inspect for damage;
– replace or repair any damaged parts;
– check for and tighten any loose parts.
h) Do not allow processed material to build up in the

of fire and explosion!
If you notice fire: Extinguish the flames with oxygen
reducing materials.
DANGER! Risk of explosion!
Protect battery products from heat and fire. Do not
leave on radiators or expose to strong sunshine for
