NOTE:
Series 1 Hard Drive Shredders are top heavy, which results in a pping hazard. Always use care when
moving the shredder and stay clear of it in the event of a p. The shredder is too heavy to stop mid way,
and it can cause serious injury. Give wide berth if it ps over and ensure that it will not come in contact
with any body parts.
The potenal for pping is increased signicantly on uneven surfaces, parcularly on vercal moves. It
is imperave that the shredder is secured in place prior to using a li-gate, fork truck, etc. Secure the
shredder with straps, holders, etc. and then move out of harm’s way. The brakes on the shredder’s
casters will not secure the shredder during vercal movement.
