▪ Wear ear protection and safety glasses at all times while operating
▪ Avoid wearing clothing that is loose fitting or that has hanging cords and ties
▪ Only operate the machine the machine in open space (e.g. Not close to a wall or other
fixed objects) and on a firm, level surface
▪ Do not operate the machine on a paved or gravel surface, where ejected material could
cause injury
▪ Before starting the machine, check that all screws, nuts, bolts, and other fasteners are
properly secured and that guards and screens are in place. Replace damaged and
unreadable labels
6.2 Operation:
▪ Before starting the machine, look into the feeding chamber to make certain, that it is empty
▪ Keep your face and body away from the feed intake opening
▪ Do not allow hands or any other part of the body or clothing inside the feeding chamber,
discharge chute, or near any moving part
▪ Keep proper balance and footing at all times. Do not overreach. Never stand at a higher
level than the base of the machine, when feeding material into it
▪ Always stand clear of the discharge zone when operating this machine
▪ When feeding material into the machine be extremely careful that pieces of metal, rocks,
bottles, cans or other foreign objects are not included
▪ If the cutting mechanism strikes any foreign objects or if the machine should start making
any unusual noise or vibration, shut off the power source and allow the machine to stop,
disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug ( electric unit disconnect from supply)
and take the following steps:
1. Inspect for damage
2. Check for and tighten any loose parts
3. Have any damaged parts replaced or repaired with parts having equivalent specifications
▪ Do not allow processed material to build up in the discharge zone; this may prevent proper

wire from the spark plug (electric unit disconnect from supply) before clearing debris. Keep
the power source clear of debris and other accumulations to prevent damage to the power
