EC Declaration of Conformity
The manufacturer HSM GmbH + Co. KG, Austraße 1-9, 88699 Frickingen / Germany hereby declares that the ma-
chine, referred to here as
document shredder QShred QS-D
corresponds to the health and safety requirements of the following EC directives listed below due to its conception and
design of the version in which it was put into circulation by us:
Low voltage directive 2006 / 95 / EEC
EMC directive 2004 / 108 / EC
Frickingen, 01.03.2011
Rolf Gasteier - Technical Director
* The maximum number of sheets (DIN A4, 70 g/m² or 80 g/m²), fed lengthways, which can be cut in one cycle. The
performance data is determined when the motor is cold and the cutting device is freshly oiled. A weaker mains voltage
or a different mains frequency to the one specified could result in less sheet capacity and increased noise during op-
eration. The sheet capacity can vary depending on the structure and properties of the paper and on the way it enters.
The performance data in 80 g/m² is calculated.
