Operating Safety

chipper feature that will chip wood up to 2
inches in diameter.
NOTE: Always be sure to stand inside the Operator Zones to run the DR LEAF and LAWN VACUUM as a
Chipper or Hand Held Vacuum. These are the areas on either side of your machine (Figure 28).
•
NEVER PUT YOUR HANDS INSIDE THE VACUUM HOSE OR THE CHIPPER HOPPER TO CLEAR
DEBRIS WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. ALWAYS STOP THE ENGINE AND DISCONNECT THE
SPARK PLUG WIRE BEFORE CLEARING THE VACUUM HOSE OR CHIPPER HOPPER.
•
FOR BEST RESULTS, USE A SMALL STICK TO CLEAR A CLOGGED CHIPPER HOPPER.
•
THE MAXIMUM SIZE MATERIAL THAT YOU CAN FEED INTO THE CHIPPER HOPPER IS 2 INCHES IN
DIAMETER.
•
ALWAYS KEEP YOUR FACE AND BODY BACK FROM THE CHIPPER HOPPER OPENING TO PREVENT
ANY MATERIAL THAT MAY BOUNCE BACK FROM STRIKING YOU.
