When

viewed

from

the

pulley

side,

the

rotor

runs

counterclockwise.

This

action

tends

to

pull

materials

into

the

shredding

chamber.

Short

stalks

(bean

plants),

cobs,

sod

and

similar

materials

should

be

fed

into

the

hopper

by

garden

spade

or

pitchfork.

Long

stalks

like

corn

or

trimmings

can

be

best

fed

by

hand

slowly

to

avoid

having

the

rotor

pull

in

the

complete

stalk,

wrap

it

and

stall.

When

feeding

stalks

or

trimmings

by

hand,

be

certain

to

keep

your

hands

away

from

the

rotor

and

hammers.

Remember,

a

technique

and

understanding

is

required

to

successfully

shred

or

grind

the

great

variety

of

materials

which

may

be

available

to

you

for

compost.

Branches

are

fed

into

the

side

chute

for

chipping.

One

at

a

time

if

they

are

thicker

than

1",

several

together

if

of

smaller

diameter.

Since

the

throat

opening

is

2"

x

3"

some

side

shoots

or

side

branches

may

have

to

be

trimmed

from

the

main

stalk

before

chipping.

Short

stubs

of

branches

may

be

pushed

through

the

chipper

section

with

the

next

branch.

Never

assume

you

know

where

the

blade

is,

and

try

to

push

short

branches

in

by

hand,

you

don’t

know

where

it

is.

Be

safe,

keep

your

hands

away

from

the

chipping

blade.

(1)

When

feeding

material

into

this

equipment

be

careful

that

pieces

of

metal,

glass,

rocks,

cans

or

other

non-organic

or

foreign

objects

are

not

included.

(2)

Do

not

allow

an

accumulation

of

processed

material

to

build

up

under

the

discharge

of

the

shredder-chipper-grinder

as

this

can

prevent

following

shredded

material

to

discharge

and

will

result

in

clogging.

Use

a

long

handled

stick

or

spade

to

remove

processed

material

build-up.

DO

NOT

USE

YOUR

HAND

OR

FOOT.

Always

shut

the

unit

off

before

clearing

build-up.

allow

your

hands

or

any

part

of

your

body

or

clothing

inside

the

feed

hopper

or

discharge

area

of

the

shredder-chipper-grinder.

Use

a

wood

stick

to

push

material

down

the

hopper.

(4)

Keep

all

protective

guards

on

the

machine

in

place

and

in

good

working

condition.

(5)

Always

stand

clear

of

the

discharge

area

when

the

shredder

is

running.

(6)

Keep

your

face

and

body

away

from

the

feed

hopper

to

avoid

being

struck

by

any

material

that

may

bounce

back.

Do

not

overreach,

keep

proper

balance

and

footing.
