WARNING: TO AVOID MISTAKES THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY, DO NOT PLUG IN THE SHREDDER UNTIL THE FOLLOWING STEPS HAVE BEEN READ AND UNDERSTOOD. 1. READ and become familiar with this entire instruction manual. LEARN the tool’s applications, limitations, and possible hazards. 2. AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. DO NOT use power tools in wet or damp areas or expose them to rain. 3. DO NOT use power tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases. 4. KEEP BYSTANDERS AT A SAFE DISTANCE FROM the work area, when the tool is operating. NEVER allow children near the tool. 5. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL to do a job for which it was not designed. 6. DRESS FOR SAFETY. DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry (rings, watches) when operating tool. They can get caught and draw you into moving parts. 7. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. 8. ALWAYS remove the power cord plug from the electric outlet when making adjustments, changing parts, cleaning or working on the tool. 9. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTUPS. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the power cord. 10. DO NOT abuse the power cord. Do not use it to carry the tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately; they may create a shock or fire hazard. 11. NEVER LEAVE A RUNNING TOOL UNATTENDED. Turn the power switch to OFF. Do not leave the tool until it has come to a complete stop. 12. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Wear oil-resistant, rubber-soled footwear. SAVE THESE SAFETY RULES 3 YW_Garden Shredder E 9/12/03 7:43 PM Page 4 General Safety Rules - continued 13. MAINTAIN TOOL PROPERLY. ALWAYS keep tool clean and in good working order. 14. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding, breakage, or any other conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced before use. 15. DO NOT operate tool if you are under the influence of any drugs, alcohol or medication that could affect your ability to use the tool properly. 16. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Do not use solvents, brake fluids, gasoline, or other petroleum products to clean the tool, they may damage plastic parts. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. A shredder can throw foreign objects into your eyes which could cause permanent eye damage. ALWAYS wear safety goggles (not glasses). Ordinary eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses...they are NOT safety goggles. SAVE THESE SAFETY RULES 4 YW_Garden Shredder E 9/12/03 7:43 PM Page 5 Specific Safety Rules for Garden Shredders 1. IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with the operation of the shredder, obtain advice from a qualified person. 2. NEVER put your hands into the hopper. Always use the paddles supplied with your shredder to push items into the hopper. 3. DO NOT try to force objects that exceed the recommended diameter and capacity of the shredder. 4. AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Be sure switch is OFF when plugging in. 5. DO NOT FORCE THE SHREDDER. It will do the job better and with less likelihood of a risk of injury at the rate for which it was designed. 6. Before putting objects into the hopper, remove any stones, debris, or objects that could damage the blades. 7. During operation, ensure that there are no other persons or animals within a radius of 3 feet. Stop using the machine while people, especially children, or pets, are nearby. 8. NEVER reach under the shredder until it has completely stopped. The blade may continue to rotate for a time after being switched OFF. ! ⁄ WARNING: NEVER PLACE HANDS INTO THE EJECTION CHUTE A SERIOUS INJURY WILL OCCUR. 9. MAKE all adjustments with the power OFF and the shredder disconnected from the power source. ! ⁄ WARNING: NEVER REACH INTO THE HOPPER UNTIL THE SHREDDER HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THE SHREDDER IS UNPLUGGED. THE SHREDDER WILL CONTINUE TO ROTATE FOR A FEW SECONDS AFTER IT IS SWITCHED OFF. 10. ALWAYS use accessories provided or recommended by the manufacturer. Do not substitute. 11. KEEP guards in place and in working order. Keep blades sharp. Keep hands and feet away from cutting areas. SAVE THESE SAFETY RULES 5 YW_Garden Shredder E 9/12/03 7:43 PM Page 6 Electrical Information GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances. DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by an electrician. IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal. CHECK with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not sure if the tool is properly grounded. Fig. A USE ONLY THREE-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS that have 3-prong plugs and 3-prong outlets that accept the tool's plug as shown in Fig. A. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately. 1 3-prong plug 2 extension cord with 3-prong outlet CAUTION: IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THE RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY GROUNDED. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE IF IT IS, HAVE A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE. SAVE THESE SAFETY RULES 6 YW_Garden Shredder E 9/12/03 7:43 PM Page 7 Electrical Information - continued ⁄! WARNING: THIS LAWN TOOL IS FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR USE IN DAMP LOCATIONS. GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords (AWG) (when using 120 volts only) Ampere Rating Total Length of Cord in Feet (meters) More Than Not More Than 25 (7.6) 50 (15.2) 100 (30.4) 150 (45.7) 0 6 18 16 16 14 6 10 18 16 14 12 10 12 16 16 14 12 12 16 14 12 Not Recommended Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas. Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be less than a #12 wire and should be protected with a 15 A time delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor. ⁄! WARNING: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
