the system also allows you to chip sticks and limbs up to 2" in diameter.

BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE, STOP THE ENGINE, WAIT FOR ALL
PARTS TO COME A COMPLETE STOP AND COOL, AND DISCONNECT THE SPARK PLUG WIRE.

NEVER USE YOUR HAND TO PUSH THE REMAINING WOOD STUB DOWN INTO THE CHIPPER
HOPPER OR TRY TO REMOVE A LODGED PIECE OF WOOD WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING.
