chipping

and

shredding

activity.

Never

assume

that

children

will

remain

where

you

last

saw

them.

HOW

TO

USE

YOUR

SHREDDER

Do

not

attempt

to

shred

or

chip

any

material

other

than

vegetation

found

in

a

normal

yard

(i.e.,

branches,

leaves,

twigs,

etc.).

WARNING:

The

shredder

discharges

material

with

considerable

velocity.

Keep

away

from

the

area

around

the

chute

deflector.

Always

stop

the

engine

and

dis¬

connect

the

spark

plug

wire

when

remov¬

ing

or

attaching

the

bag,

when

changing

containers

or

when

removing

the

shred¬

ded

material,

wear

safety

glasses

and

gloves

whenever

using

your

shredder.

The

shredder

is

designed

for

three

different

methods

of

operation.

1.

Leaves

and

small

branches

up

to

1/2"

diameter

can

be

fed

into

the

hopper

when

it

is

in

the

raised

position.

See

figure

6.

If

it

becomes

necessary

to

push

material

into

the

shredder,

use

a

small

diameter

stick—-NOT

YOUR

HANDS.

The

stick

cannot

exceed

1/2"

in

diameter

so

it

will

be

ground

up

if

it

gets

into

the

impeller

assembly.

A

WARNING:

Do

not

put

material

larger

than

1/2"

in

diameter

into

the

hopper.

Material

up

to

a

maximum

of

3"

in

diameter

materi¬

al

may

be

fed

into

the

chipper

chute.

Do

not

attempt

to

shred

or

chip

any

material

larger

than

3“

in

diameter.

Personal

injury

or

damage

to

the

machine

could

result.

2.

Leaves

and

small

twigs

can

be

raked

into

the

shredder

when

the

hopper

assembly

is

lowered

to

the

ground.

See

figure

7.

To

lower

the

hopper

assembly

to

the

ground,

use

one

hand

to

grasp

the

top

of

the

hopper

assem¬

bly.

Push

down

on

the

release

handle,

and

pivot

the

hopper

assembly

to

the

right.

See

figure

3.

Bulky

material,

such

as

stalks

or

heavy

I

>ranches,

up

to

3"

in

diameter

should

be

fed

into

the

chipper

chute.

See

figure

9.

A

WARNING:

Make

certain

the

chipper

chute

door

is

closed

when

not

in

use.

IMPORTANT:

There

is

a

flail

screen

located

inside

the

housing

in

the

discharge

area.

If

the

flail

screen

becomes

clogged,

remove

and

clean

as

instructed

in

the

Maintenance

section

below.

For

best

performance,

it

is

important

to

keep

the

shredding

blade

and

the

chipper

blades

sharp.

Refer

to

Maintenance

section,

page

9.

If

the

composition

of

the

material

being

discharged

changes

(becomes

stringy,

etc.)

or

if

the

rate

at

which

the

material

is

dis¬

charged

slows

down

considerably,

it

is

likely

that

the

shredding

blade

and/or

chipper

blades

are

dull

and

need

to

be

sharpened

or

replaced.
