Personal Protective Equipment; Starting Up The Machine; Electrical Safety - Makita UD2500 Original Bedienungsanleitung

Personal protective equipment

• Dress Properly. The clothing worn should be functional
and appropriate, i.e. it should be tight-fitting but not
cause hindrance. Do not wear either jewelry or clothing
which could become entangled in to machine. Wear
protecting hair covering to contain long hair.
• Always wear ear protections to avoid hearing loss.
• Wear protective glasses or goggles to protect eyes from
debris thrown from the filling hopper.
• Wear protective groves to prevent injury to fingers.
• Wear face mask when the dusk is substantive, such as
shredding dry branches, hedges with leaves.
• When using the machine, always wear sturdy shoes
with a non-slip sole. This protects against injuries and
ensures a good footing.
Work area safety
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating the
machine.
• Operate the machine in open space on a firm, level
surface. Do not operate the machine close to a wall or
other objects.
• Do not operate machine in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. The machine creates sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
• Do not operate the machine on a paved or gravel
surface where ejected material may result in injury.
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
• Do not expose the machine to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering the machine may increase the risk of
electric shock.

Starting up the machine

• Before connect the plug or switch on the machine:
– Check all the screws, nuts and other fasteners
are properly secured.
– Check guards, deflectors and screens are in
place and good working condition.
– Replace damaged or unreadable labels.
– Make sure the filling hopper is empty.
– Make sure the inlet and discharge opening are
guarded properly.
– Check all the parts of the machine carefully to
determine if it operates properly and performs
its intended function. Especially, never use the
machine if the switch does not work normally.
• If the supply cord is damaged, ask Makita authorized
service center, always using genuine replacement
parts, to replace it.

Electrical safety

WARNING:
• This appliance is Class I appliance. Connect with a
supply socket with earth terminal. Improper earth may
cause electric shock and death. Use only three-wire
extension cords which have three-prong grounding-
type plugs and three-pole receptacles which accept the
tool's plug.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
(e.g. pipes, radiators) during operation.
• Use only IEC60245 (H07RN-F) extension cable for
outdoor use with splash-proofed connector. Its cross-
section must be at least 1.5 mm
25 m, and 2.5 mm for cable lengths over 25 m.

• Voltage drop may happen when using long thin cable. If
it happens the power of the machine may be reduced.
• When using the extension cable, make sure that it does
not interfere, is not squeezed or bended, and the plug
does not get wet.
• When using a cable reel, wind the cable completely off
the reel.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the machine. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• Check the extension cable regularly for damage to the
insulation. Replace it if damaged.
• If the connecting cable is damaged, withdraw the mains
plug immediately. A damaged cable may cause contact
with live parts and electric shock.
• Never use damaged cables.
• Only plug the machine into sockets in tested electrical
circuits. Check that the system voltage matches that on
the rating plate.
• Never deactivate or bypass the protective devices.
• When using the machine outdoors, always use a
residual current-operated circuit-breaker (RCD) with an
operating current of 30 mA or less.
Operation
• Keep your face and body away from the inlet opening.
• Never let your hands or other part of the body or
clothing place inside the inlet and discharge opening, or
near moving parts. It may result in serious injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the machine in
unexpected situations. Do not stand at higher level than
the base of the machine when feeding material into it.
• Always keep distance from the discharge opening dur-
ing operation.
• Observe regional regulations for noise protection.
• Do not feed rock, a piece of metal, bottles or other
foreign matter. Pay attention that those foreign objects
are not included when you feed.
• Immediately switch off the motor and unplugged if the
blade strike a foreign object or the machine starts vibrat-
ing or making noise unusually. Check the shredder for
damage, and tighten any loose parts. Ask an authorized
service center to repair the machine.
• Do not let the processed material accumulated in
discharge opening. Otherwise it may result in kickback
of material through the inlet opening.
• Switch off the motor and unplugged before:
– Whenever leaving the machine unattended
– Before clearing a blockage or any fault
– Before checking, cleaning or working on the
machine
– Before making any adjustments, changing ac-
cessories or storing
– Whenever the machine starts vibrating or making
noise unusually
– Clearing inlet or discharge opening
– Attaching or removing retaining basket
– Transporting.
