The operation of any chipper-shredder can result in foreign objects being thrown into
the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear the safety glasses pro-
vided with the chipper-shredder or eye shields before chipping or shredding, or while
performing any adjustments or repairs. We recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for
over spectacles or standard glasses available at Sears Retail or Catalog Stores.
