Before Starting
1. Always use safety equipment. Remember to wear ANSI approved safety impact goggles, hearing
protection, heavy duty work gloves, and a dust mask or respirator when using this product.
2. Check underneath the chipper/shredder to look for oil and/or liquid spots indicating an oil or gas leak. If
there are any leaks, do not use the chipper/shredder and contact a qualified repair professional for
maintenance.
3. Inspect the condition of the chipper/shredder. Ensure that all shields and covers are in place. Check for
loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts, and any other condition
that may affect the safe operation of the machine. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem
corrected before further use. Do not use damaged equipment. Only operate the unit on a flat, level
surface.
4. Check the oil level. Never run the engine with low oil levels and/or without engine oil. Running the engine
with low oil levels or without oil will permanently damage the engine.
Starting the Engine
1. Move the fuel valve lever to the “ON” position.
2. To start a cold engine, move the choke lever to the “CLOSED” position. If the engine is already warmed
up, leave the choke lever in the “OPEN” position.
3. Move the throttle lever about 1/3 of the way toward the “FAST” position. Turn the On/Off switch to the “ON”
position.
4. Take hold of the starter recoil grip firmly and pull slowly until there is resistance, then pull briskly to start
engine. Repeat as necessary.
5. As engine warms up, gradually move the choke lever to the “OPEN” position.
Shredding and Chipping
1. Without putting your hands into shredder (on top), slowly drop material into the hopper (one branch at a
time). The machine will automatically pull the material in.
WARNING
Never use your hands to feed material directly into the shredder. If needed, use a stick to push the
branches, leaves, etc. into the shredder.
2. The chipper is located on the side of the unit. Only feed one branch at a time into the chipper.
3. Material discharges from the bottom of the chipper/shredder. Stand clear of discharge areas to avoid
shredded debris.
4. Do not allow processed material to build-up in the discharge zone. This may prevent proper discharge
and can result in kickback of material.
5. If the chipper/shredder jams during use immediately turn engine’s On/Off switch to the “OFF” position.
Wait until the machine completely stops before clearing the jam in the machine by shifting the material

with a long stick. Only when the jam is cleared from the machine is it safe to resume operation.
6. When finished using the chipper/shredder, turn the engine’s On/Off switch to its “OFF” position. Wait until
the machine completely stops before moving or cleaning the chipper/shredder.
7. Store the unit (with spark plug removed) in a clean, dry, safe location out of reach of children and
unauthorized people.
IMPORTANT:
•Do not force material into the chipper/shredder. Branches
cannot be larger than1/2” diameter (shredder hopper) and
cannot be larger than 3” diameter for chipper chute.
•Do not attempt to force large branches into hoppers.
•Do not force the chipper/shredder or attempt to have the
machine operate more quickly. Safe operation requires the
machine be allowed
to draw material at its own pace.
WARNING
The spark plug wire must be disconnected and the On/Off switch must be in the “OFF” position before
performing any service, maintenance, or cleaning of the chipper/shredder.
1. Before using the machine visually inspect the general condition of the chipper/shredder. Check for loose
screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts, and any other condition that may
affect safe operation. Start the engine and if abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected
before further use. Do not use damaged equipment.
2. Before storing the machine, unhook the spark plug wire from spark plug and drain all the fuel out of the en-
gine’s fuel tank. Leaving old fuel in the fuel tank may clog the carburetor of the engine and prevent it from
starting until all oil is properly drained. Store the unit in a clean, dry, safe location out of reach of children and
other unauthorized people .
