Using the Chipper Shredder Vacuum
Place both hands on top of upper handle to push unit
over yard waste. Yard waste such as leaves and pine
needles can be vacuumed up through the nozzle for
shredding. After material has been shredded by the
blades on the impeller assembly, it will be discharged
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. Materials such as stalks or heavy branches up to 2”
in diameter may be fed into the chipper chute.See
Figure 6.
WARNING: Do not attempt to shred, chip,
or vacuum any material larger than
specified on the machine or in this
manual. Personal injury or damage to the
machine could result.
