9. Safety devices

9.1 Motor restart inhibitor
The machine can only be started via the
switch and not by plugging the electric
cable into the mains socket.
9.2 Safety interlock
The motor/shredding tool may only be
operated when the feed chute has been
properly closed. If the right closure screw
(machine viewed from the front) becomes
loose during operation, the motor is
switched off automatically and after a few
seconds the shredding tool comes to a
standstill.

9.3 Motor run-down brake

The motor run-down brake shortens the
run-down time from when the machine is
switched off until the blades stop to a few
seconds.

9.4 Protective covers

The garden shredder is equipped with
protective covers in the feeding and
ejection areas. These include the
complete feed chute with the upper chute
and splash guard, the ejection chute
extension and the discharge flap.
The protective covers ensure that a safe
distance is maintained from the shredding
blades.
