SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Basic &Specific safety Precautions

1. Do not put hands and feet near rotating parts or in the feeding

chambers and discharge opening. Contact with the rotating impeller

can amputate fingers, hands, and feet.

2. Before starting the machine, make sure the chipper chute, feed intake,

and cutting chamber are empty and free of all debris.

3. Thoroughly inspect all material to be shredded and remove any metal,

rocks, bottles, cans, or other foreign objects which could cause

personal injury or damage to the machine.

4. If it becomes necessary to push material through the shredder hopper,

use a small diameter stick. Do not use your hands or feet.

5. If the impeller strikes a foreign object or if your machine should start

making an unusual noise or vibration, immediately shut the engine

off. Allow the impeller to come to a complete stop. Disconnect the

spark plug wire, ground it against the engine and perform the

following steps:

a. Inspect for damage.

b. Repair or replace any damaged parts.

c. Check for any loose parts and tighten to assure continued safe

operation.

6. Do not allow an accumulation of processed material to build up in the

discharge area. This can prevent proper discharge and result in

kickback of material through the feed opening.

7. Do not attempt to shred or chip material larger than specified on the

machine or in this manual. Personal injury or machine damage could

result.

8. Never attempt to unclog either the feed intake or discharge opening

while the engine is running. Shut the engine off, wait until all moving

parts have stopped, disconnect the spark plug wire and ground it

against the engine before clearing debris.

9. Never operate without the shredder hopper, chipper chute, or chute

deflector properly attached to the machine. Never empty or change

discharge bag while the engine is running.

10. Keep all guards, deflectors and safety devices in place and operating

properly.

11. Keep your face and body back and to the side of the chipper chute

while feeding material into the machine to avoid accidental kickback

injuries.

12. Never operate this machine without good visibility or light.

13. Do not operate this machine on a paved, gravel or non level surface.

14. Do not operate this machine while under the influence of alcohol or

drugs.

15. Muffler and engine become hot and can cause a burn. Do not touch.

16. Never pick up or carry machine while the engine is running.

Safe Handling of Gasoline Powered Equipment:

To avoid personal injury or property damage use extreme care in

handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the vapors are

explosive. Serious personal injury can occur when gasoline is spilled on

yourself or your clothes which can ignite. Wash your skin and change

clothes immediately.

a. Use only an approved gasoline container.

b. Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a

plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground away from your

vehicle before filling.

c. When practical, remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or

trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel

such equipment on a trailer with a portable container, rather than from

a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

d. Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or container

opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle

lock-open device.

e. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition.

f. Never fuel machine indoors.

g. Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine is hot or running.

Allow engine to cool at least two minutes before refueling.

h. Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than ½ inch below bottom

of filler neck to allow space for fuel expansion.

i. Replace gasoline cap and tighten securely.

j. If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine and equipment. Move unit

to another area. Wait 5 minutes before starting the engine.

k. To reduce fire hazards, keep machine free of grass, leaves, or other

debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage and remove any fuel

soaked debris.

l. Never store the machine or fuel container inside where there is an

open flame, spark or pilot light as on a water heater, space heater,

furnace, clothes dryer or other gas appliances.

OPERATION

WARNING: The operation of any chipper shredder can result in foreign objects

being thrown into the eyes, which can damage your eyes severely. Always wear

the safety glasses or eye shields before chipping or shredding and while

performing any adjustments or repairs.

Shredding

Yard waste such as leaves and pine needles can be placed in the hopper (A) Fig.9

for shredding. After material has been processed by the shredder blade and flails, it

will be forced out of the chute deflector, into a debris collection bag.

Observe the following guidelines when shredding yard debris:

• Never attempt to shred material other than normal yard debris (leaves, twigs, pine

cones, etc.).

• Avoid shredding fibrous plants such as tomato vines until they are thoroughly dried out. Fresh vines do not shred well and tend to wrap themselves

around the impeller and flails.

• Place reasonable amounts of debris into the hopper at a time. Do not overload the hopper.

• Allow the material in the hopper to be drawn into the blades and shredded before adding additional debris to the hopper. Failure to due so may

result in a clogged hopper, clogged chute deflector or a stalled engine.

• Avoid placing twigs longer than 24” into the hopper. Twigs longer than 24” may result

in a clogged hopper.

IMPORTANT: Never place branches with a diameter greater than 1/2-inch in the

hopper. Doing so can result in serious damage to the unit’s shredder blade, flails or

impeller.

Chipping

WARNING: Never operate the chipper shredder without chipper chute lowered and

locked into the operating position.

Branches up to 3” in diameter can be fed into the chipper chute (A) Fig.10. Observe

the following guidelines when chipping branches:

• Keep both hands firmly on the branch as you feed it into the chipper chute.

• Never feed more than one branch into the chipper chute at a time.

• Never feed anything other than branches (or wood) into the chipper chute.

• Apply intermittent pressure (force, in short pulses) while feeding larger branches

into the chipper chute, to avoid bogging or stalling the engine.

NOTE: For best performance, always operate the unit with sharp chipper blades. If a

noticeable loss in performance is encountered while chipping branches, the chipper

blades should be replaced. Refer to the Maintenance section of this manual for more

information.
