Yard waste such as leaves and pine needles can be
vacuumed up through the nozzle for shredding. After
material has been shredded by the flail blades on the
impeller assembly, it will be discharged into catcher bag
or through blower chute. Do not attempt to shred or chip
any material other than vegetation found in a normal
yard (i.e. branches, leaves, twigs, etc.) Avoid fibrous
plants such as tomato vines until they are thoroughly
dried out. Materials such as stalks or heavy branches
up to 1 1/2” in diameter may be fed into the chipper
chute.

IMPORTANT: The flail screen is located inside the
housing in the discharge area. If the flail screen
becomes clogged, remove and clean as instructed in
