Machine description and usage
This machine is a garden tool, and precisely an electric gar-
den chipper.
The machine consists of a motor, which drives a blade en-
closed within the machine body and which chips branches.

The machine is designed and intended for the chipping
of branches, small shrubs and wet leaves. Any other us-
age may be hazardous and may cause harm to persons and/
or things or to the machine itself.
Note: using the machine for chipping mainly dry branches
will reduce the efficacy of the cut as well as blade life.

ed to):
– using the machine for chipping non plant material;
– climbing on the machine;
– using the machine to move objects.
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years
and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of experience and knoledge if they
have been given supervision or instructions cencerning use
of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards
involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning
and user maintenance shall not be made by children without
supervision.
RISK REMAINING
Even when using the machine correctly, situations with re-
sidual risks may arise. Possible hazardous situations may be
caused by (including but not limited to):
- ejected stones or other materials accidentally fed with
branches;
- breakage and uncontrolled movements of branches during
feeding, with injuries to limbs or eyes;
