2.SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION
2.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
•The manual must be read entirely and understood by all the operators, who, either full-time
or occasionally, are in charge of installing, running and carrying out maintenance on the
shredder or its dismantling.
•The employer must ensure the instruction of the personnel on accident risks, on the devices
adopted for the operator's safety, on noise emission risks and on the general accident
prevention regulations stated by international directions and the legislation of the Country
where the machine is received.
•The behaviours of the personnel in charge of maintenance, cleaning, control work etc., must
however strictly comply with the Accident Prevention Rules of the Country where the
machine is received.
•The user is responsible for whatever operation carried out incorrectly because the
instructions supplied in this manual were not followed properly and is therefore compelled
to make certain that his personnel have read and understood the contents.
•The unauthorized tampering or substitution of one or more machine parts, the use of
accessories, tools, or working materials different from those recommended by the
manufacturer, may represent an accident hazard and relieve the manufacturer from any civil
and penal responsibilities.
•The working area must never be encumbered, so that nothing might interfere with the
operator's freedom of movement, nor prevent his immediate access to the control panel in
the case of an emergency.
•The access to the work area is forbidden to people not directly responsible for the machine
operation, to avoid hazards caused by imprudence or negligence during the accomplishment
of a work. The user is therefore responsible for providing adequate prevention means such
as barriers, warning and danger plates, etc.
•The maintenance technician, who has been given the responsibility of the machine
maintenance, is therefore recommended to keep it always free of whatever tool and to
prohibit access to unauthorized people, to be able to obtain the most ideal safety conditions
for working on the machine.

MSM0005EN_F18 / 90
2.2 INTENDED USE
Shredders are machines that can be used in many fields for different purposes: recycling, size
reduction, destruction and disposing of industrial and urban waste.
Should the sales contract establish the characteristics of the material to be shredded and the machine
capacity; these information is specified on the cover of this manual.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The use of the shredder for shredding other substances or obtaining increased
capacity values that are not included in the specifications is considered as being
"IMPROPER USE" and therefore the manufacturing company declines any
responsibility for any damage arised to things or people and considers every type
of guarantee on the machine cancelled.
The machine may only be used after:
•having carried out the correct installation and bolting to the floor.
•the wirings of the electric components to the main switchboard (when not already wired by
the manufacturer).
•the check for correct operation of active safety devices (micro switches, interlocks, etc.).
•the check for consistency and correct positioning of the safety guards (protection plates,
protection grids, etc.).
DANGER
The shredder cannot be installed on wobbly surfaces (e.g. vibrating dampers) or
mobile surfaces (e.g. wheels or rollers).
Loading must be done from the ground (that is to say from the work surface, for
instance by means of a grab crane). A loading level higher than ground level
cannot be used, nor should one use stairs, steps, platforms or operator-lifting
platforms to ease the loading operations.
If loading systems are used, they must not interfere with the safety devices
installed on the machine.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
In particular, if continuous handling equipments are installed, they must comply
with UNI EN 620 standards; in the event they interfere with the shredder by
creating unforeseen access for the operators, the system composed by the
shredder and the continuous handling equipment is subject to a new procedure
for CE marking, otherwise it is forbidden to put the installation in service.
Same instructions and conformity procedures apply also for any continuous handling equipments that
could be used as discharge systems, such as belt conveyors, screw conveyors, suction ducts).

2.3 INCORRECT AND/OR IMPROPER USE AND BEHAVIOUR
The shredder with new blades must not be put into operation without having previously fed it with
material, except for the time that is strictly necessary to carry out the tests at the first starting.
It must not be operated also:
•without oil or with overused oil (see paragraph 5.1.6 - Oil and grease lubrication before
starting HDD GLADIATOR).
•if blades are not perfectly tightened (see Chapter 7, Tightening the blades’ pack for each
series of shredder);
•if the reversals for overload occur frequently (see paragraph 6.5.1 - Overload reverse).
In these cases, the operator in charge of the running must ask for the intervention of the maintenance
service to line up the machine. Should any doubt arise, it is advisable to contact the manufacturer’s
Technical Department.
The shredding of large size metal or tempered bodies (e.g. hammers, iron drawn pieces or similar) is
not foreseen, and introducing them into the machine could cause damage to the blades or other
mechanical parts. It is therefore necessary to remove any foreign bodies from the material to be
shredded, before loading it into the hopper. This can be done through screening or using an iron
separator.
DANGER
Material partially coming out of the hopper should not be let into the loading inlet
(in particular filaments, tapes or films, partially engaged by the shredder and
dragged from the external with risk of entanglement), nor should the entering
material feeding be forced in any way by using manual means of whatever type
(sticks, poles, bars or similar).
Do not use at the bottom side the removal device for shredded material (hooks,
harpoons, etc.).
DANGER
If the operator deems that a malfunctioning exists, for no reason at all must he
leans into the material feeding inlet while the shredder is in operation.
If one intends to carry out a visual inspection inside the machine, the intervention
of the maintenance technician is required; in any case, before whatever
intervention, it is compulsory to switch off the shredder and lock the main switch
to prevent undesired start of the machine.
DANGER
Extra precautionary care must be observed when accessing also partial inside the
feeding hopper since this is a high-risk operation, because of the blades and the
probable presence of sharp cutting metallic parts. If this operation is absolutely
necessary to restart the plant, it can be carried out only by a properly trained
maintenance technician equipped with individual accident- prevention
protections. Before any operations, the shredder must be stopped. The main
switch disconnected and locked for safety against any accidental starting.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Any use of the machine taking place without taking into consideration the
previous notes is considered "improper use", and therefore intimus International
GmbH declines any responsibility for damage or accidents caused by failure in
complying with the instructions supplied, and will consider any guarantee on the
machine cancelled in such cases.
DANGER
It’s strictly prohibited getting near the screen with every part of the body during
the machine working (single shaft shredders typically). Take care that no operator
is in contact with the screen before starting the machine.
2.3.1 Explosive Atmosphere
The shredder cannot be used in an explosive environment or potential explosive and in no case it is
allowed to introduce explosive or corrosive substances, or those which might cause the emission of
flammable substances or gases harmful to people (e.g. spray cans, solvent and flammable liquids and
gases containers etc.)
The Shredder is not suitable for work in explosive or classified environments. It is strictly prohibited to
use it in a fully or partially explosive atmosphere. Therefore, the machine is not suitable for use in the
following environments:
•classified as fully or partially explosive;
•where there are corrosive atmospheres and high concentrations of dust;
•where there are high suspended oily concentrations;
•risk of fire arising from any materials or source of ignition.
DANGER
It is strictly prohibited to use this shredder in all environments listed above.
2.4 WORK AND CONTROL AREAS
The shredder must be operated by a single person who will work in the loading area and will also
provide for machine feeding and replacing the material collection vessel, if foreseen.
To carry out this replacement, the operator must operate anyhow remaining outside the supporting
stand.
2.5 MAINTENANCE AREAS
The person in charge of maintenance may operate around and inside the machine only after having
activated all the active and passive safety devices foreseen by the manufacturer to allow the
maintenance operator to work in maximum safety conditions.
