To connect the cord properly, adjust the screw clamp to get the correct tension (Fig. 3).
You can now move away from the controls and load the hoppers with material without risk as you can pull
the safety cord at any time to stop the machine.
To stop the power takeoff instantly, pull sharply downwards on the cord to detach the band holding the
brake release. This stops rotation of the power takeoff and the chipper / shredder (Fig. 5).
Be careful what you put into the Shredder hopper. The machine can shred most organic materials,
however, objects of certain shape, size, or texture may cause problems even if they are organic.
The Shredder cannot handle thick branches or large chunks of wood. Neither Shredder nor Chipper can
handle cloth, string, glass, rubber, metal, rocks or paving materials, or long vines.

Soggy soil, green garden wastes and wet grass clippings can be processed through the Shredder by
mixing dry leaves or wood chips with the wet material.
For better processing of wet materials the standard curved screen with the “Swiss cheese" holes should
be replaced by the set of five rods and tubes, which are supplied with the unit.

IMPORTANT
Always disengage the PTO before stopping the engine. I
f
the PTO is engaged when the engine is
shutdown, the inertia of the rotating Chipper/Shredder may restart the engine.
IMPORTANT
Always disengage the PTO before stopping the engine. If the PTO remains engaged the inertia of the
Chipper / Shredder will drive the engine and may restart it.
After shutdown, always check the paint mark on the drive shaft (near Chipper chute) to be sure that the
Chipper/Shredder is no longer rotating.
DANGER
Do not use this Chipper/Shredder with the discharge unprotected. The discharge must be
covered with either the rods and tubes or the standard screen.
