DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
Understanding how your machine works will help you achieve the best results when using you Chipper Shredder. Read the
following descriptions which define the operation of your machine.
CHIPPING OPERATION
The chipping operation takes place on the left side of the machine, where hardened steel chipper blades are mounted on a
rotating rotor assembly. Material that is fed into the chipper chute is sliced into small chips which are then propelled out
through a discharge chute which can be diverted into a container or onto the ground.
SHREDDING OPERATION
The shredding operation takes place on the rear of the machine, where hardened steel shredder knives grind up material that
is fed into the shredder chute. The shredder adjuster lever, which can be adjusted to five settings, determines the chip size
by keeping the chip in the shredder reservoir for a determined amount of time. The shredded material then leaves the
shredder area by traveling through the discharge chute which can be diverted into a container or onto the ground.
