your unit while operating the chipper-
shredder to prevent injury from any chips
which may be ejected out of the
openings, Make certain chip-it guide is
closed when not in use,
Wear gloves when handling material Feed material
into the chipper-shredder at a steady rate It is
possible to feed too fast° Experiment with feeding rates
to determine what rate provides the best results
without stalling the engine or plugging the discharge
chute.
The discharge chute will direct the shredded material
into a pile, a container or the bag provided with your
shredder
i wARN, GI
The chipper-shredder discharges material
with considerable velocity Keep away
from the area around the discharge chute
Always stop the engine and d_sconnect
the spark plug wire when removing or
attaching the bag when changing
containers or when removing the
shredded material
if if becomes necessary to push materials into the
chipper-shredder, use a small diameter stick, NOT
YOUR HANDS The stick sl_ould be small enough that
it will be ground up if it gets into the impeller assembly.
Do not deposit material larger then 12"
diameter in the hoppe_ or upper guide
extension Any material heavier then 1/2"
should be fed _nto the chip-it guide
Leaves and smaller branches can be fed into the
