CHIPPING AND SHREDDING RECOMMENDATIONS
OPERATION TYPE OF WASTE PERMITTED SIZE LIMITATIONS NOTES
Shredding Dry or moist organic material
including leaves, plants,
flowers, fruits, or vegetables.
Branches and twigs up to 1/2”
diameter and 18” long.
Alternately chip or shred
moist green waste with dry
waste to avoid plugging of
the discharge chute.
Process at a feeding rate that
allows the rotor to keep up
and maintain a high rate of
speed.
Chipping Long, thicker tree limbs or
small bunches of smaller
sticks grouped together for
ease of handling.
Tree limbs and branches,
or bundles of small sticks
grouped for easier handling.
Maximum diameter of
approximately 3” (7,6 cm).
Bulky tree limbs should be
pruned close to the main
stem. Always use a shorter
piece of wood to push end
pieces into the chipper cone.
Never place hands in the
chipper cone.
Never chip very hard or
dry materials such as kiln
dried dimensional lumber
(2x4’s etc.) or other building
materials.
Never use the chipper to
process pressure-treated
wood products.
Vacuum Attachment Light, loose, dry waste such
as leaves, grass clippings, or
sawdust.
Small materials that will not
obstruct the vacuum hose.
The vacuum is engineered
for small, loose waste and for
cleaning around decorative
landscaping and flower
beds. Twigs, wet leaves, and
other bulky materials will
clog the hose or obstruct the
shredding chamber.
