READ THESE OPERATING GUIDELINES
BEFORE YOU PROCEED ANY FURTHER
1. Do not put hands and feet near rotating parts or in the
feeding chambers and discharge opening. Contact with
the rotating impeller can amputate fingers, hands, and
feet.
2. Before starting the machine, make sure the chipper
chute, feed intake, and cutting chamber are empty and
free of all debris.
3. Thoroughly inspect all material to be shredded and
remove any metal, rocks, bottles, cans, or other foreign
objects which could cause personal injury or damage
to the machine.
4. If it becomes necessary to push material through the
shredder hopper, use a small diameter stick. Do not
use your hands or feet.
5. If the impeller strikes a foreign object or if your
machine should start making an unusual noise or
vibration, immediately shut the engine off. Allow the
impeller to come to a complete stop. Disconnect the
spark plug wire, ground it against the engine and
perform the following steps:
a. Inspect for damage.
b. Repair or replace any damaged parts.
c. Check for any loose parts and tighten to assure
continued safe operation.
6. Do not allow an accumulation of processed material to
build up in the discharge area. This can prevent proper
discharge and result in kickback of material through
the feed opening.
7. Do not attempt to shred or chip material larger than
specified on the machine or in this manual. Personal
injury or machine damage could result.
