4 SYMBOLS

In this manual and/or on the machine the following symbols are used:

5 GENERAL SAFETY

Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow all warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.

5.1 Work area

 Keep your workspace clean and tidy. Untidiness and unlit working areas can lead to

accidents.

 Do not work with the device in an environment where there is danger of an explosion,

where there are combustible fluids, gases or dust. Power tools produce sparks which can ignite the dust or the vapours.

 Keep children and other persons away while you are using the power tool. You may lose

control of the device if you are distracted.

5.2 Electrical safety

 The connector plug must fit in the power socket. The mains plug must not be adapted in

any way. Do not use an adapter plug together with earthed devices. Unadapted plugs and appropriate sockets reduce the risk of an electric shock.

 Avoid contact with earthed surfaces, for example on pipes, heaters, cookers and

refrigerators. The risk of an electric shock is increased if your body is earthed.

 Do not use the cable to carry or hang up the device and do not pull the cable to remove

the plug from the power socket. Keep the cable away form heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts of the device. Damaged or tangled cables increase the risk of an electric shock.

POWXG6460 EN

 When working with a power tool outside, only use extension cables which are approved

for outdoor use. Using an extension cable which is suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of an electric shock.

 Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

5.3 Personal safety

 Be observant, pay attention to what you are doing and be sensible when working with a

power tool. Do not use if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medicines. One moment of carelessness when using the device can lead to serious injury.

 Wear personal protective equipment and always wear safety glasses or goggles. The

wearing of personal protective equipment, such as a face mask, non-slip safety shoes, a protective helmet or ear protectors, depending on the type and use of the power tool, reduces the risk of injury.

 Avoid unintentional starting. Ensure that the switch is in the “OFF (0)” position before

putting the mains plug in the power socket. Accidents can be caused by having a finger on the switch while carrying the device or connecting it to the power supply with the switch in the “ON” position.

 Remove any adjusting tools or spanners before switching the device on. A tool or spanner

in a turning part of the device can lead to injuries.

 Do not overreach your ability. Ensure that your footing is secure and that you keep your

balance at all times. You will then have better control over the device in unexpected situations.

 Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose fitting clothes or jewellery. Keep your hair,

clothing and gloves well away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can get caught in moving parts.

 If dust extraction and absorption devices can be fitted, ensure that they are connected and

used correctly. Use of these devices reduces exposure to dust.

5.4 Power tool use and care

 Do not overload the device. Use the power tool which is intended for your work. With the

appropriate power tool you will work better and more securely in the performance range indicated.

 Do not use any power tool with a defective switch. A power tool which cannot be switched

on or off correctly is dangerous and must be repaired.

 Take the plug out of the power socket before carrying out any adjustments, changing

accessories or putting the device away. These precautions prevent any accidental starting.

 Keep power tools out of the reach of children when not in use. Do not allow anyone who is

not familiar with the device or who has not read these instructions to use it. Power tools can be dangerous when used by inexperienced persons.

 Be careful to maintain the device correctly. Check whether moving parts are operating

correctly and are not sticking and whether parts are broken or damaged to such an extent that operation is affected. Any damaged components should be repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by power tools being poorly maintained.

 Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting

edges jam less often and are easier to operate.

 Use power tools, accessories, inserts, etc. in accordance with these instructions and as

specified for this particular type of device, taking into account the working conditions and the activity to be carried out. Using power tools for anything other than their intended applications can lead to dangerous situations.

5.5 Service

 Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical

replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

6 ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR SHREDDERS

 Wear protective gloves, protective glasses and hearing protectors. Avoid loose clothing.  Always stand steadily and in balance. Do not stretch towards the machine.  During use, the machine should be level and on a firm surface.  Ensure that all screws and nuts are properly tightened before use.  Only use the machine in dry conditions and never use outdoors when it is raining.  Never use the machine with damaged safety devices or without protection.  Keep hands, other parts of our body and clothing away from the feeding hopper and the

chute. This can cause damage to the machine.

 If the machine becomes blocked, stop the motor and disconnect the plug. Pull out any

objects and check for damage.

 If the fuse blows or if the overload protection is triggered, this is a sign that the machine is

overloaded and/or that too many appliances are connected to the same extension cable. Check the cause and remedy. Do not install a more powerful fuse.

 Do not tug on the extension cable. Do not hold the cable taut. This can cause damage in

the plugs or in the cables insulation. Such damage is invisible but can be dangerous.

 Always keep the extension cable away from the machine. Disconnect the plug from the

electric socket and check the cable regularly for signs of damage or aging. Do not use the machine with a damaged extension cable.

 If the cable is damaged, it must be replaced by an authorized service centre in order to

avoid a hazard.

 Never move the machine by pulling the cable. The machine must not be moved with the

motor running.

 The shredder must be assembled correctly before use.  Warning! This appliance must be earthed!  Warning! Use only three core extension cables with the earth wire connected.  Only use extension cables that are approved for outdoor use and check that they are in

good condition before use.

 Before inserting the plug in the mains socket, make sure that the socket ratings are correct

and correspond to those indicated on the rating label on the shredder.

 Always switch off the shredder before disconnecting any plug and socket connector or

extension cables.

 Keep children and pets away. All onlookers should be kept a safe distance away from the

shredder when it is in use.
