CHIPPER/SHREDDER
PRECAUTIONS
Read all instructions in this owner's manual, plus detai-
led instructions in the Chipper/Shredder owner's ma-
nual.
Material may be thrown out of the intake or discharge
openings at high velocity. Wear safety eye protection
goggles stamped "Z87" (for ANSI Standard Z87). Also
wear a hat.
Wear trim-fitting articles of clothing with no dangling ties
laces, chains, etc. Remove rings, bracelets and wrist
watches before operating the Chipper/Shredder. Gloves
may be worn when feeding the Chipper but remove
gloves before feeding material into the Shredder hop-
per.
Set up the machine on soft, firm ground which provides
support and acts as a shock absorber. But, do not set
up on hard paved or gravel surfaces which provide no
cushion.
Before starting the engine, always look to be sure the
Chipper/Shredder is empty.
Do not go on the discharge side when the Chipper/
Shredder is running. Do not look into the Shredder hop-
per or place your head over it when feeding material. Do
not feed the chipper chute from directly in front but al-
ways stand to the side.
Do not reach into the chipper chute to push through
short pieces. Push short ends through with another long
branch.
Put only materials which can be shredded into the hop-
per.Be careful not to include cloth, string plastics, grass,
rubber, rocks or paving, bricks, large wood chunks, me-
tal or long branches or vines. These things cannot be
shredded and can cause violet ejection of materials
from the Chipper/Shredder.
Do not allow processed material to pile up in the dis-
charge area. A blockage of the discharge can result in
kickback of material through the feed opening.
