limited to):

– using the machine for shredding non-plant materials;

– standing on the machine or collection box;

– using the machine to move objects

• RISK REMAINING - Even when using the machine correctly, situations

with residual risks may arise. Possible hazardous situations may be

caused by (including but not limited to):

– instability or sudden movements of the machine during handling;

– ejected stones or other materials accidentally fed with branches;

– breakage and uncontrolled movements of branches during feeding,

with injuries to limbs or eyes;

– uncontrolled ejection of branches from the feeding hopper after rotation

reversal.

• This tool is not intended for use by persons (including children) with

reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking in experience

and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction

concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Children must be supervised to ensure they do not play with the tool.

A) TRAINING

1) Read the instructions carefully. Familiarise yourself with the controls

and proper use of the machine. Learn how to stop the motor quickly.

• Also:

– Bear in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or

unexpected events occurring to other people or their property.

B) PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS

1) Never allow children or people unfamiliar with the instructions to use

the machine.

2) Do not use the machine with people in the vicinities.

3) Use ear protectors, dust masks and safety goggles for the entire time

the machine is being used.

4) Avoid wearing clothing that is loose tting or has hanging cords or ties.

5) Only use the machine outdoors (e.g.. not close to a wall or other xed

objects) and on a rm and at surface.

6) Do not use the machine on a paved gravel surface where ejected ma-

terial could cause injuries.

7) Before starting the machine, make sure that all screws, nuts, bolts and

other fastening elements are properly tightened and that guards and shields

are in place. Replace damaged or illegible labels.

• Also:

– Before each use, check that the extension lead is not damaged or that

there are no signs of deterioration or ageing. If the extension lead beco-

mes damaged during use, disconnect it from the mains socket imme-

diately. DO NOT TOUCH THE LEAD BEFORE DISCONNECTING IT

FROM THE MAINS SOCKET. Do not use the machine if the extension

lead is damaged or worn.

C) DURING USE

1) Before starting the machine, make sure the feeding hopper is empty.

2) Keep your head and body away from the feeding chute.

3) Do not place your hands or other body parts or clothing in the feed

chamber, in the discharge chute or near moving parts.

4) For the entire time of use, always maintain proper balance and footing.

Do not lean over it. When feeding material, never stand on a level that is

higher than the base of the machine.

5) While operating the machine, always stand clear of the discharge area.

6) When feeding material, be extremely careful that metal objects, stones,

bottles, cans or other foreign objects are not introduced.

7) If the cutting device strikes a foreign object or the machine makes unu-

sual noises or vibrations, switch o the motor immediately and allow the

machine to stop completely. Remove the plug from the mains supply and

carry out the following operations:

– make sure the machine is not damaged.

– check and tighten any loose parts.

– replace or repair any damaged parts with parts of the same quality.

8) Do not allow processed material to accumulate in the discharge area.

This may impede proper discharging and cause the material to back up

through the feeding chute.

9) If the machine becomes clogged, switch o the motor and remove the

power plug from the mains before clearing debris from the feeding chute

and the discharge chute. Keep the motor clear of debris and other accu-

mulations to prevent damage to the motor or re hazards. Remember that

when motorised machines are started, the cutting device is also activated.

10) Keep all covers and deectors properly mounted and in good condition.

11) Do not alter the motor speed control settings; the device controls the

maximum speed for safe operation and protects the motor and all its moving

parts from damage caused by excess speed. If problems arise, contact our

customer service.

12) Do not move the machine while the motor is running.

13) Turn o the motor and remove the plug from the mains when you leave

the work area.

machine on and o regularly.

– Do not touch the extension lead and plug with wet hands.

– Do not step on or tug the extension lead.

– Stop the machine and remove the plug from the socket:

– whenever you leave the machine unattended;

– before clearing blockages or unclogging the discharge chute;

WARNING - If something breaks or an accident occurs during work, turn

o the motor immediately; if an accident occurs with injuries or third parties

are injured, carry out the rst aid measures most suitable for the situation

immediately and contact the medical authorities for any necessary health

care. Carefully remove any debris that might cause damage or harm per-

sons or animals should it not be seen.

D) MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

1) When the machine is o for maintenance, inspection, storage or to

replace an accessory, make sure that the power supply is not connected

and that the plug has been removed. Make sure that all moving parts have

come to a complete stop. Allow the machine to cool before doing any

maintenance, adjustments, etc.

2) Allow the machine to cool before storing it.

3) When doing maintenance on the cutting device, bear in mind that even if

the power is o due to the interlock feature of the guard, the cutting device

can still be moved manually.

• Also:

– Parts subject to wear must only be replaced at a specialised centre.

E) ADDITIONAL WARNINGS

1) The permanent connection of any electrical equipment to the mains of a

building must be installed by a qualied electrician in conformity with the re-

gulations in force. Incorrect wiring can cause serious injury and even death.

2) WARNING: DANGER! Moisture and electricity are not compatible:

– always handle and connect electric cables in dry conditions;

– never allow electric sockets or leads to contact wet areas (puddles or

wet grass);

– connections between leads and sockets must always be watertight.

Only use extension leads with intact, watertight and approved sockets

sold on the market.

3) The quality of the extension leads must be no less than H07RN-F, with a

minimum section of 1.5 mm
