Work in daylight or under good articial lighting conditions.
• Do not operate the shredder when you are tired

medication. Always take a break when you need one and
be sensible about how you work.
• Switch the shredder o and disconnect it from the power
source, under the following circumstances:

removing blockages

work or replacing accessories

it makes unfamiliar noises or vibrations (check the
