Before Starting
1. Use safety equipment. Always wear ANSI approved safety impact goggles and hearing
protection, heavy duty work gloves, and a dust mask or respirator when using this product.
2. Check underneath the chipper/shredder to make sure there are no spots that would indicate 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.
Place on a flat, level surface.
4. Check the oil level. Never run the engine with low or no engine oil. Running the engine with low
or no oil will permanently damage the engine.
Starting 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 pull the material in automatically.
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 in at a time.
3. Material discharges from bottom of chipper/shredder. Stand clear 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. Should chipper/shredder jam during use, immediately turn engine’s On/Off switch to the “OFF”
position. Wait until the machine completely stops. Clear the jam in the machine by shifting the
material with a long stick. Then, resume operation.
