• Only operate the machine with complete and cor-
rectly attached safety equipment and do not alter
anything on the machine that could impair the sa-
fety.
• Do not alter the motor controller setting, since the
rotary speed controls the safe maximum operating
speed, and protects the motor and all rotating parts
against damage due to excess speed. Contact the
customer service in case of problems.
• Do not operate without the funnel.
• Do not modify the device or parts of the device
respectively.
• Close machine properly before enabling motor.
• Do not hose down the device with water. (Origin of
danger electric current).
• Take into consideration environmental influences:
• Do not use the device in moist or wet ambience.
• Do not leave the machine standing in the rain or
use when raining.
• Provide for good illumination.
• To prevent danger of injury to fingers during as-
sembly or cleaning operations hold the cutting me-
chanism (see pic. "Changing the blades") and wear
protecting gloves.
• If the cutting mechanism strikes any foreign object
or if the machine should start making any unusual
noise or vibration, immediately switch off and allow
the cutter to stop. Remove the plug from the mains
supply and take the following steps:
• Inspect for damage.
• Replace or repair any damaged parts.
• Check for and tighten any loose parts.
• Switch the machine off and remove the mains plug
from the socket when:
• Performing maintenance and cleaning work.
• Eliminating faults.
• Check the machine for damage, if foreign objects
have landed in the insertion channel
• abnormal machine vibrations
• Checking connecting lines, whether these are
knotted or damaged.
• Transporting.
• Carrying out repair work.
• Changing the blades.
• Leaving unattended (even during short interrup-
tions)
• If the machine's filling funnel or ejection slot is blo-
cked switch off the motor and disconnect the mains
plug before removing material from the filling funnel
or ejection slot.
• Check the machine for possible damage:
• Before further use of the machine the safety de-
vices must be checked carefully for their proper
and intended function.
• Check whether movable parts function perfectly
and do not stick or whether parts are damaged.
All parts must be correctly installed and fulfil all
conditions to ensure perfect operation of the ma-
chine.
• Damaged safety devices and parts must be pro-
perly repaired or exchanged by a recognized,
specialist workshop; insofar as nothing else is
stated in the instructions for use.
• Damaged or illegible safety labels have to be
replaced.
• Store unused equipment in a dry, locked place out
of the reach of children.
16 English
• Store the machine in a place where fuel vapours
cannot come close to open flames or sparks. Always
allow the machine to cool down before storing it.
• The permissible noise level is exceeded during
non-stop operation. We therefore recommend the
use of ear protection.
• Children under 16 may not operate the machine.
• Check mains cables. Do not use faulty cables.
• Watch for foreign objects during work. Do not insert
stones, glass or metal parts.
• Carry out repairs, maintenance and cleaning work
only when the drive unit is switched off. Wait until
the motor comes to a standstill and pull the mains
plug. Caution: The cutting tool continues to move
for some time!
• After finnishing work, do not switch off the motor
until the machine is completely empty, as it may
otherwise be difficult to start up again.
• Observe all safety instructions and warnings at-
tached to the machine.
• Cut off the external power supply of the machine
even if only minor changes of place are envisa-
ged. Properly reconnect the machine to the supply
mains before recommissioning.
• When starting to work with the machine again, fol-
low the Operating Instructions.
• Use the machine in the recommended position and
on firm, even surface. Don't use the machine on a
pavement surface with grit strewed, on which th-
rown out material could cause injury. Be aware of
the cable, risk of stumbling.
• When transporting the machine, walk carefully; do
not run.
• Never pick up or carry the machine while the motor
is running.
• Don't bring hands, other parts of the body and clo-
thes into the infeed funnel, outfeed channel or near
to other moving parts.
• When starting up the machine stay always outside
the outfeed zone.
• Switch off the motor as soon as you leave work-
place.
• Don't tilt the machine with running motor.
Electrical safety
• Design of the connection cable according to IEC
60 245 (H 07 RN-F) with a core cross-section of
at least
• 1.5 mm2 for cable lengths up to 25 m
• 2.5 mm2 for cable lengths over 25 m
• Long and thin connection lines result in a potential
drop. The motor does not reach any longer its ma-
ximal power; the function of the device is reduced.
• Plugs and coupler outlets on connection cables
must be made of rubber, plasticised PVC or other
thermoplastic material of same mechanical stability
or be covered with this material.
• Regularly check the extension cables and replace
them if they are damaged.
• Do not touch a damaged connection cable before
disconnecting it from the mains. A damaged con-
nection cable may cause contact with live parts.
• Do not use any defective connection cables.
• When working outdoors, only use extension cables
especially approved and appropriately labelled for
outdoor use.
