CHIPPER/SHREDDER FEATURES AND CDNTRDLS
SHREDDER HOPPER (INLET)
The shredder hopper (see Figures 3-1 and 3-1 A) is the opening at
the top of the unit for material to be shredded. Material up to 1/2'
in diameter can be processed through the shredder hopper. In the
shredder chamber, rotating cutting blades shreS the material.
A rubber retainer flap (Figure 3-1 A) is installed at the shredder
hopper opening. Material is pushed past this retainer flap (using
only the leaf tamper supplied with unit) and enters the shredder
chamber.
The retainer flap prevents kickback of materialsl Do
not use the unit unless the retainer flap is securely fastened
and is hanging freely inside the hopper opening. Immediately
replace the retainer flap if it is torn or damaged.
A
DANGER
Shredded particles can kick back up through the shredder
hopper inlet. The retainer flap is designed to reduce kick-
back of particles and must be in place and securely fastened.
Before using the chipper/shredder, be sure the retainer flap
is securely fastened. Failure to do so can result in serious
personal injury. Also make sure you are wearing protective
