 Switch the machine off and remove the mains plug from the socket
when
− carrying out repair works
− carrying out servicing and repair works, removal of faults
− checking the leads to see whether these are caught up or
damaged
− changing over from vacuuming to blowing
− transporting
− leaving unattended (even during short interruptions)
− unusual noises and vibrations
 Thoroughly maintain your garden vac:
− Make sure that the ventilation apertures are free.
− Keep handles dry and free of oils and grease.
− Follow the maintenance instructions and the instructions for spool
exchange.
 Check the machine for possible damage
− Before continuing to use the machine, the protective devices must
be inspected to ensure that they work perfectly and with their
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 saw
− Damaged guards and parts must be properly repaired or exchanged
by a recognized, specialist workshop; insofar as nothing else is
stated in the instructions for use.
− Damaged or illegible safety warning labels should be replaced
immediately.
 Store the unused machine in a dry locked place away from the reach of
children.
Electrical safety
 Design of the connection cable according to IEC 60245 (H 07 RN-F)
with a core cross-profile section of at least
→ 1.5 mm² for cable lengths up to 25 m
→ 2.5 mm
2
for cable lengths over 25 m
 Long and thin connection lines result in a potential drop. The motor does
not reach any longer its maximal power; the function of the device is
reduced.
 Plugs and coupler outlets on connection cables must be made of rubber,
non-rigid PVC or other thermoplastic material of same mechanical
stability or be covered with this material.
 The connector of the connection cable must be splash-proof.
 When running the connection line observe that it does not interfere, is
not squeezed, bended and the plug connection does not get wet.
 Wind off completely the cable when using a cable drum.
 Do not use the cable for purposes for which it is not meant. Protect the
cable against heat, oil and sharp edges. Do not use the cable to pull the
plug from the socket.
 Protect yourself against electric shocks. Avoid touching earthed parts
with your body (e.g. pipes, heating apparatus, cookers, fridges etc.).
 Do never connect a damaged cable to the mains. Do not touch a
damaged cable before it is disconnected from the mains. A damaged
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.
 Do not set up any provisional electrical connections.
 Never bypass protective devices or deactivate them.
 Only hook up the machine by means of a fault-current circuit breaker (30
mA).
The electrical connection or repairs to electrical parts of the machine
must be carried out by a certified electrician or one of our customer
service points. Local regulations – especially regarding protective
measures – must be observed.
Repairs to other parts of the machine must be carried out by the
manufacturer or one of his customer service points.
Use only original spare parts. Accidents can arise for the user through
the use of other spare parts. The manufacturer is not liable for any
damage or injury resulting from such action.

 Check that the machine is completely and correctly assembled.
 Before using the shredder, make sure each time that
− there are no faulty connections (tears, cuts, etc.)
− there are no damage at the machine
− all screws are tight
L Mains connection
 Compare the voltage given on the machine model plate e.g. 230 V with
the mains voltage and connect the machine to the relevant and properly
earthed plug.
 Only use connection cables with sufficient diameters.
 Do not use any defective connection cables.
 Connect the machine via a 30 mA fault current safety switch.
 Use connecting or extension cables up to a length of 1.5 m featuring a
core cross section of at least 25 mm²
L Fuse protection: 10 A
Mounting of the extension cable
Â
1. Plug the female connector of the extension cable on the male connector
of the device.
2. Thread the extension cable through the pull relief device (3) as a loop
and hang it up.
3. Make sure that the extension cable has enough free motion.
Switching on/off
Do not use any device where the switch can not be switched on and
off. Damaged switches must be repaired or replaced immediately by
the customer service.
 The ON/Off switch (2) is integrated in the handle (1).
Switching on: Put the On/Off switch (2) to .
Switching off: Put the On/Off switch (2) to
.
In the case of a power failure the machine does not automatically put
the switch to
. Put the On/Off switch immediately to to prevent any
accidental starting of the machine when the power supply recovers.
