Using The Chipper Shredder
Yard waste such as leaves and pine needles can be
raked up through the hopper assembly for shredding.
After material has been shredded by the flail blades on
the impeller assembly, it will be discharged out of
opening or into catcher bag. Do not attempt to shred or
chip any material other than vegetation found in a
normal yard (i.e. branches, leaves, twigs, etc.) Avoid
fibrous plants such as tomato vines until they are
thoroughly dried out. Twigs and small branches up to 3”
in diameter on models 462 thru 465 and 2” in diameter
on models 463 can be fed into the chipper chute. If
equipped, use the tamper plug to push material into the
chipper chute. See Figure 8.
IMPORTANT: The flail screen is located inside the
housing in the discharge area. If the flail screen
becomes clogged, remove and clean as instructed in
SECTION 5: MAINTAINING YOUR CHIPPER
SHREDDER. For best performance, it is also important
to keep the chipper blade sharp.
