READ THESE OPERATING GUIDELINES BEFORE
YOU PROCEED ANY FURTHER
1. Do not put hands and feet near rotating parts or in the feeding
chambers and discharge opening. Contact with the rotating
impeller can amputate fingers, hands, and feet.
2. Before starting the machine, make sure the chipper chute, feed
intake, and cutting chamber are empty and free of all debris.
3. Thoroughly inspect all material to be shredded and remove any
metal, rocks, bottles, cans, or other foreign objects which could
cause personal injury or damage to the machine.
4. If it becomes necessary to push material through the shredder
hopper, use a small diameter stick. Do not use your hands or feet.
5. If the impeller strikes a foreign object or if your machine should
start making an unusual noise or vibration, immediately shut the
engine off. Allow the impeller to come to a complete stop.
Disconnect the spark plug wire, ground it against the engine and
perform the following steps:
a. Inspect for damage.
b. Repair or replace any damaged parts.
c. Check for any loose parts and tighten to assure continued safe
operation.
6. Do not allow an accumulation of processed material to build up in
the discharge area. This can prevent proper discharge and result in
kickback of material through the feed opening.
7. Do not attempt to shred or chip material larger than specified on
the machine or in this manual. Personal injury or machine damage
could result.
The funnel on the chipper/
shredder is for leaves only. Do
not use the funnel for vines,
wet vegetation, or long
branches such as Weeping
Willows as they may clog
the cutting chamber.
The side chute is for
longer and/or thicker
pieces of yard waste.
Depending on your mod-
el, you may chip to your
models capacity (page 2).
