Never wrap your fingers around tree limbs and branches
so tightly that you can’t let go quickly if the tree limb or
branch is suddenly pulled into the chipper block or shred-
der hopper area.
Leaves and other lightweight organic matter can be
quickly shredded in your chipper/ shredder and reduced
to 1/20th of their original volume. Place material to be
shredded into the shredder hopper. Avoid large amounts
of wet material that can cause shredded matter to build
up in the discharge chute and prevent proper discharge.
Alternate the processing of dry and wet materials to help
prevent clogging of the discharge chute. When time per-
mits, let wet material dry out for a few days prior to
shredding.
Properly Feeding Longer Materials
For Shredding
When processing brush, small branches, or other long
types of organic matter, feed the materials to be shred-
ded into the shredder hopper lengthwise, butt end first,
to prevent clogging of the hopper. If brush gets tangled
and clogged as it’s being fed into the hopper, never
reach into the hopper to clear it while the unit is running.
Shut the engine off, let the rotor come to a complete
stop, and disconnect the spark plug before attempting to
clear the hopper.
NOTE: Be sure to shut off the engine and allow the rotor
to stop completely before emptying the bag.
