Operating Tips
1. Before starting the garden shredder, make sure that the
hopper inlet is empty.
2. Keep your face and body away from the opening.
3. Do not allow hands or any other part of the body or
clothing near the hopper or discharge chute.
4. Never put your hands into the hopper while the garden
shredder is running. Always use the paddle supplied with
your shredder to push items into the hopper.
5. Do not try to force objects larger than the recommended
diameter of 1-1/2” into the hopper.
6. Keep proper balance and footing at all times. Do not
overreach. Never stand at a higher level than the base
of the tool when feeding material into garden shredder.
7. Always stand clear of the discharge zone when operating
the garden shredder. Never reach under the shredder until
it has come to a complete stop.
8. When feeding material into the garden shredder be careful
to remove pieces of metal, rocks, bottles, cans or other
foreign objects that may damage the blades.
9. If the cutting mechanism strikes a foreign object or if the
garden shredder should start making any unusual noise
or vibration, turn it off and allow it to come to a complete
stop. Disconnect from power supply and take the
following steps:
- Inspect for damage;
- Check for and tighten any loose parts.

WARNING:
Never reach into the hopper until
the garden shredder has come to a complete stop and
is unplugged. The blades will continue to rotate for a few
seconds after the shredder is turned off.
10. Do not allow processed material to build up in the
discharge zone; this may prevent proper discharge and
can result in kickback of material through the hopper.

WARNING:
Never put your hands near the
discharge chute. Failure to heed the warning could result in
serious injury.
11. If the shredder becomes clogged, turn it OFF and
disconnect from power supply before clearing debris.
Keep the power source clear of debris and other
accumulations to prevent damage to the power source.
Remember that the starting mechanism on engine
powered tools will cause the cutting mechanism to move.
12. Keep all guards and deflectors in place and in good
working condition.
13. Do not operate the garden shredder on a paved or gravel
surface where ejected material could cause injury.
14. Turn off the garden shredder and disconnect it from the
power supply whenever you leave the work area.
15. Do not tilt the garden shredder while it is running.
16. Never reach into the hopper until the garden shredder has
come to a complete stop and has been disconnected from
the power supply.
Service
Your power tool should be serviced by a qualified repair
