Residual risks
Additional residual risks may arise when
using the tool which may not be included
in the enclosed safety warnings. These
risks can arise from misuse, prolonged
use etc.
Even with the application of the
relevant safety regulations and the
implementation of safety devices, certain
residual risks can not be avoided. These
include:
Injuries caused by touching any
u
moving parts.
Injuries caused by touching any hot
u
parts.
Injuries caused when changing any
u
parts or accessories.
Injuries caused by prolonged use
u
of the appliance. When using any
appliance for prolonged periods
ensure you take regular breaks.
Impairment of hearing.
u
Health hazards caused by breathing
u
dust developed when using your
tool (example:- working with wood,
especially oak, beech and MDF.)
If operating the shredder in a damp
u
location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) with a tripping
current of not more than 30 mA.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Never pick up or carry an appliance
u
while the motor is running.
