Allow the machine to cool before making any inspections, adjustments, etc. Maintain the machine with care and keep it clean. Always allow the machine to cool before storing. When servicing the shredding means be aware that, even though the power source is switched off due to the interlock feature of the guard, the shredding means can still be moved. Never attempt to override the interlocked feature of the guard. WARNING Use only the manufacturer’s replacement parts. Failure to do so may cause poor performance, possible injury and may void your warranty. The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. ELECTRICAL SAFETY Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. PERSONAL SAFETY Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of inspect for damage;

1) replace or repair any damaged parts;

2) check for and tighten any loose parts.

Do not allow processed material to build up in the discharge zone; this may prevent proper discharge and can result in kickback of material through the intake opening. If the machine becomes clogged, shut- off the power source and disconnect the machine from supply before cleaning debris. Never operate the machine with defective guards or shields, or without safety devices, for example debris collector in place. NOTE If a debris collector is not used the text of the example may be deleted. Keep the power source clean of debris and other accumulations to prevent damage to the power source or possible fire. Do not transport this machine while the power source is running. Do not tilt the machine while the power source is running. Do not operate the machine when barefoot or wearing open sandals. Avoid wearing clothing that is loose fitting or that has hanging cords or ties. Always stand clear of the discharge zone when operating this machine. Stop the machine, and remove battery pack. Make sure that all moving parts have come to a complete stop - whenever you leave the machine, - before clearing blockages or unclogging chute, - before checking, cleaning or working on the machine.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the appliance is in safe working condition. Replace worn or damaged parts. Use only genuine replacement parts and accessories. Store the appliance only in a dry place. When the machine is stopped for servicing, inspection, or storage, or to3 English (original instructions)

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns. 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.

Store theblower in a dry, well-ventilated place that is inaccessibleto children. Keep away from corrosive agents such asgarden chemicals and de-icing salts. Store and charge your batteries in a cool area. Temperatures above or below normal room temperature will shorten battery pack life. Once the light on the charger turns solid green, remove the battery from the charger and disconnect the charger from the outlet. Do not store the battery pack on the tool. Never store batteries in a discharged condition. Wait for battery pack to cool and fully charge immediately. All batteries gradually lose their charge.
