y out causing injury.
W071
WARNING!
Never reach into the feed hopper. Doing so risks
hands getting caught. Use a stick or branch to
push in any material that does not move on its
own.
If jammed, stop the engine, wait for the rotor to
stop, then clear the jam.
W004
Shredder maximum material diameter: 1" (2.5 cm).
• Never reach into the shredder feed
hopper farther than the feed gate.
The knives on the rotor are sharp.
• Use a stick or branch to push in material that does not
move from the feed hopper into the shredder on it's own.
• Close the feed gate every time you add material. The
feed gate keeps flying material contained in the shredder
housing. Never prop open the feed gate.
• If a jam occurs, stop adding material to the feed hopper,
and then clear the jam.
For instructions, see Clear a Jam.
Procedure:
1. Place leaf filled or small diameter wood material into the
shredder hopper.
Do not overfill the hopper. Material falls into the shredder
easier when the hopper is not overfull.
2. Press down on one of the feed-gate levers to open the feed
gate.
3. After the material enters the shredder, release the feed-gate
lever.
4. Be aware of how much material you feed in. Slow down or
stop if the engine begins to slow. Wait for the shredder to
return to full speed.
5. Repeat steps 1 to 4, as required.
