Snapper SG 5000 - Operators Responsibility; Operating Procedure

OPERATORS RESPONSIBILITY
Never allow children to operate your shredder-chipper-grinder, nor adults lacking the proper instructions.
Keep children, pets, and bystanders a minimum of 20 feet away from your work area. Flying chips can
be hazardous.
Never run this machine in an enclosed area since the exhaust from the engine contains carbon monoxide
which is an odorless, tasteless, and deadly poisonous gas.
Never run this machine on cement or blacktop. This machine should be operated ONLY on a level
earthen surface.
Never put your hands, feet, face, or any other part of your body in the feed hopper or discharge area.
Never remove the plastic shield attached to the shredding hopper. This device prevents flyback and
must be intact at all times. This is a protective guard.
Never operate your shredder-chipper-grinder while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
A clear mind is essential for safety.
Never allow a person who is tired or otherwise not alert to operate this machine.
SAFETY WEAR
Never wear loose clothing or jewelry that can be caught by moving parts of your shredder-chipper-grinder
and pull you into it. Keep all clothing away from moving parts. Wear proper head gear to keep hair away
from moving parts.
Always wear safety glasses or goggles, and work gloves at all times while operating your shredder-
chipper-grinder. A chip could fly out and hit you in the eye. Be sure your glasses fit properly and your
gloves do not have loose cuffs or draw strings.
Always wear ear protectors at all times while operating your shredder-chipper-grinder. The noise of this
machine could result in hearing loss.
