HOW TO USE YOUR CHIPPER-SHREDDER
Do not attempt to shred or chip any material other than
vegetation found in a normal yard (i.e., branches,
leaves, twigs, etc.).
A
WARNING: THE CHIPPER-SHREDDER
DISCHARGES MATERIALS WITH CON­
SIDERABLE VELOCITY. KEEP AWAY
FROM THE AREA AROUND THE CHUTE
DEFLECTOR.
ALWAYS STOP THE
ENGINE AND DISCONNECT THE SPARK
PLUG WIRE WHEN REMOVING OR AT­
TACHING THE BAG WHEN CHANGING
CONTAINERS OR WHEN REMOVING THE
SHREDDED MATERIAL. WEAR SAFETY
GLASSES AND GLOVES WHENEVER

The chipper-shredder is designed for three different
methods of operation.
• Leaves and small branches up to 1/2" diameter can
be fed into the hopper assembly when it is in the
raised position. See figure 10. If it becomes
necessary to push material into the chipper-
shredder, use a small diameter stick—NOT YOUR
HANDS. The stick should be small enough that it
will be ground up if gets into the impeller assembly.
A

LARGER THAN 1/2" IN DIAMETER INTO
THE HOPPER ASSEMBLY. MATERIAL UP
TO A MAXIMUM OF 3" IN DIAMETER
MATERIAL MAY BE FED INTO THE
CHIPPER CHUTE. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
