1 GENERAL INFORMA TION 1 .1 This operation and maintenance manual is intended for the professional user. It is

mandatory to follow these instructions in order to prevent situations that could endanger the operator’s and other people’s safety, and to ensure the correct functioning of the shredder. If you have questions, call “FERRI” after-sales service or a specialized “FERRI” dealer.

1.2 Identifying the Machine
