3. Do not allow hands or any other part of the body or
clothing near the feeding funnel or discharge chute.
4. Never put your hands into the hopper while the wood
chipper + shredder is running. Always use the paddle
supplied with your wood chipper + shredder to push items
into the hopper.
5. Do not try to force objects larger than the recommended
diameter of 1.73 inch into the hopper.
6. Always stand clear of the discharge zone when operating
the wood chipper + shredder. Never reach under the unit
until it has come to a complete stop.
7. When feeding material into the wood chipper + shredder,
be careful to remove pieces of metal, rocks, bottles, cans
or other foreign objects that may damage the blades.
8. If the cutting mechanism strikes a foreign object or if the
wood chipper + shredder should start making any unusual
noise or vibration, turn it o and allow it to come to a
complete stop. Disconnect from power supply and take
the following steps:
– Inspect for damage;
– Check for and tighten any loose parts.
mWARNING! Never reach into the hopper until the
wood chipper + shredder has come to a complete stop and
is unplugged. The blades will continue to rotate for a few
seconds after the unit is turned o.
9. Do not allow processed material to build up in the

Electric Safety
1. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection should
be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for
this electric wood chipper + shredder. Receptacles are
available having built-in GFCI protection and may be used
for this measure of safety.
2. To prevent electric shock, use only with an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use, such as SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A,
STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A.
Before use, check that the extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, make sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current to the product.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating.

3
3. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a
polarized plug (i.e. one blade is wider than the other). Use
this appliance only with a polarized UL-, CSA-, or ETL-
listed extension cord recommended for outdoor,
all-weather use, such as the Snow Joe®+ Sun Joe®
SJTW-A 14-gauge 50-foot extension cord with lighted
end (Model PJEXT50-B). Visit sunjoe.com to purchase
this extension cord online or, to order by phone, call
1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563).
The appliance plug will t into a polarized extension
cord only one way. If the appliance plug does not t
fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug
still does not t, obtain a correct polarized extension
cord. A polarized extension cord will require the use of a
polarized wall outlet. The extension cord plug will t into
the polarized wall outlet only one way. If the plug does
not t fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug
still does not t, contact a qualied electrician to install
the proper wall outlet. Do not modify the appliance plug,
extension cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in
any way.
4. To prevent the appliance cord from disconnecting from the
extension cord during operation, make a knot with the two
cords as shown in Table 1.
5. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
6. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed
or grounded.
7. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an
electrician or a power tool repairer.
8. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
9. If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
10. Have your tool repaired by an electrician or a qualied
service center. This power tool complies with relevant
safety requirements. To avoid danger, electrical appliances
must only be repaired by qualied personnel using original
spare parts; otherwise this may result in considerable
damage to the user.

Double-Insulated Appliances
In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation
are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is
provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a means
for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing a double-
insulated appliance requires extreme care and knowledge
of the system, and should be performed only by qualied
service personnel at an authorized Snow Joe®+ Sun Joe®
dealer. Replacement parts for a double-insulated appliance
must be identical to the parts they replace. A double-insulated
appliance is marked with the words “Double Insulation” or
“Double Insulated.” The symbol (square within a square)
may also be marked on the appliance.
DOUBLE-INSULATED: GROUNDING NOT
REQUIRED. WHEN SERVICING, USE ONLY
IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
This wood chipper + shredder is double-insulated, eliminating
the need for a separate grounding system. Use only identical
replacement parts. Read the instructions before servicing
double-insulated appliances. Use this electric wood chipper +
shredder only as described in this manual.

Seguridad eléctrica
1. Un interruptor de circuito de falla de conexión a
tierra (GFCI) deberá proteger al(a los) circuito(s) o
tomacorriente(s) a ser utilizado(s) con la astilladora +
trituradora de ramas. Hay receptáculos disponibles con
protección GFCI incorporada y pueden ser utilizados para
esta medida de seguridad.
2. Para evitar un choque eléctrico, emplee solo cables de
extensión adecuados para uso en exteriores, tales como
SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A,
SJTW-A o SJTOW-A.
Antes del uso, verique que el cable de extensión se
encuentre en buenas condiciones. Al usar un cable de
extensión, asegúrese de que sea lo sucientemente fuerte
para poder transportar la corriente hacia el producto. Un
cable de extensión demasiado no causará una caída de
tensión de alimentación produciendo pérdida de potencia
y recalentamiento.

3. Para reducir el riesgo de un choque eléctrico, este
artefacto posee un enchufe polarizado (es decir, una pata
es más ancha que la otra). Use este artefacto solo con
un cable de extensión polarizado aprobado por UL, CSA
o ETL y recomendado para uso en exteriores y todo tipo
de clima, tal como el cable de extensión de 50 pies y
calibre 14 SJTW-A de Snow Joe®+ Sun Joe®con extremo
iluminado (modelo PJEXT50-B). Visite sunjoe.com para
comprar este cable de extensión, o pídalo llamando al
1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563).
El enchufe del artefacto encajará en el receptáculo del
cable de extensión polarizado de una sola manera. Si
el enchufe del artefacto no entra por completo dentro
del receptáculo del cable de extensión, invierta las
clavijas del enchufe. Si el enchufe aún no encaja dentro
del receptáculo del cable de extensión, obtenga un
cable de extensión polarizado correcto. Un cable de
extensión polarizado requerirá el uso de un tomacorriente
polarizado. El enchufe del cable de extensión encajará
en el tomacorriente polarizado de la pared de una sola
manera. Si el enchufe del cable de extensión no entra por
completo dentro del tomacorriente de la pared, invierta las
clavijas del enchufe. Si el enchufe del cable de extensión
aún no encaja, contacte a un electricista calicado para la
instalación de un tomacorriente de pared apropiado. No
modique el enchufe del artefacto, ni el receptáculo del
cable de extensión, ni el enchufe del cable de extensión
en forma alguna.
4. Para evitar que el cable del artefacto se desconecte del
cable de extensión al usarlo, haga un nudo con los dos
cables tal como se muestra en el Gráco 1.
5. El enchufe de la herramienta eléctrica debe encajar
en el tomacorriente. Nunca modique el enchufe de
ninguna manera. No use ningún enchufe adaptador con
herramientas eléctricas puestas a tierra (que tengan
conexión a tierra). El uso de enchufes no modicados
y tomacorrientes equivalentes reducirá el riesgo de un
choque eléctrico.
6. Evite el contacto de su cuerpo con supercies puestas a
tierra tales como tuberías, radiadores, cocinas eléctricas
y refrigeradoras. Hay un mayor riesgo de un choque
eléctrico si su cuerpo está conectado a tierra.
7. Si el cable de alimentación está dañado, debe ser
reemplazado por un electricista o reparador de
artefactos eléctricos.
8. Cuando opere una herramienta eléctrica en exteriores,
utilice un cable de extensión adecuado para su uso en
exteriores. Usar un cable adecuado para exteriores reduce
el riesgo de un choque eléctrico.
9. Si es inevitable operar una herramienta eléctrica en
un entorno mojado, utilice una fuente de alimentación
protegida por un Dispositivo de Corriente Residual (RCD
por sus siglas en inglés). El uso de un RCD reduce el
riesgo de un choque eléctrico.
10. Haga que su herramienta sea reparada por un electricista
o en un centro de servicio calicado. Esta herramienta
eléctrica cumple con los requisitos de seguridad
relevantes. Para evitar cualquier peligro, los artefactos
eléctricos deben ser reparados solo por personal
calicado y empleando partes de repuesto originales; de
otro modo el usuario puede lesionarse gravemente.

Artefactos de doble aislamiento
En un artefacto de doble aislamiento se proporcionan dos
sistemas de aislamiento en lugar de una conexión a tierra. Un
artefacto de doble aislamiento no posee una conexión a tierra,
y no debe agregársele ninguna. La reparación de un artefacto
de doble aislamiento requiere sumo cuidado y conocimiento
del sistema, y solo debe ser realizada por personal técnico
calicado en un centro de servicio autorizado por
Snow Joe®+ Sun Joe®. Las partes de repuesto de un
artefacto de doble aislamiento deben ser idénticas a las partes
originales. Un artefacto de doble aislamiento está marcado
con las frases “Double Insulation” (“doblemente aislado”) o
“Double Insulated” (“doble aislamiento”). El símbolo (un
cuadrado dentro de otro) puede también estar marcado en
el artefacto.
DOBLE AISLAMIENTO:PUESTA A TIERRA NO
REQUERIDA. AL REPARAR, USE SOLO PARTES
DE REPUESTO IDÉNTICAS.
Esta astilladora + trituradora de ramas tiene doble aislamiento
y elimina la necesidad de un sistema separado de conexión
a tierra. Use solo partes de repuesto idénticas. Lea las
instrucciones antes de reparar artefactos de doble aislamiento.
Use esta astilladora + trituradora eléctrica de ramas solo como
se describe en este manual.
