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
ATTACHING THE BAG WHEN CHANGING
CONTAINERS OR WHEN REMOVING THE
SHREDDED MATERIAL. WEAR SAFETY
GLASSES
AND GLOVES WHENEVER
USING YOUR CHIPPER-SHREDDER.
The chipper-shredder is designed for three different
methods of operation.
• Leaves and small branches up to 1/2" diameter
(recommended) or 1“ diameter (maximum) can be
fed into the hopper assembly when it is in the
raised position. See figure 5. If it becomes neces­
sary 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 WARNING: DO NOT PUT MATERIAL
LARGER THAN 1/2" IN DIAMETER (REC­
OMMENDED) or 1" DIAMETER (MAXI­
MUM) 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 SHRED OR CHIP ANY
MATERIAL LARGER THAN 3" IN DIAME­
TER. PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE
