1. When the machine needs servicing, inspection, or storage, or to replace a part, turn off the
engine, make sure all the moving parts completely stop and allow the machine to cool before
making any inspections, adjustment etc.
2. Store the machine where fuel vapors will not reach an open flame or spark. If for a long time
storage, drain the fuel out of the machine. Make sure the machine become cool before storing.
3. When the cutting means need servicing, the cutting means may be moved by manually
mechanism although the machine is stopped.
MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
Before attaching or removing the bag, the engine should be shut off. Cover the discharge opening
with a fabric bag and tighten the cord in the mouth of the bag. When the machine is working, all
the chips come into the bag. That’s convenience to collect the chips. Or you may take other way
to deal with the chips.
i. Branch chipping
1. Long branches like sunflower stems, corn stems and tree branches etc are fed into the side
chipping tube for chipping by the rotating blade.
2. Some side shoots and branches may have to be trimmed from the main stalk before chipping.
3. Shorts stubs of branches may be pushed through the chipper section with next branch, never
use hand.
4. Last branch is pushed inside of the tube by some tools like wood stick. Never try by hand.
5. Never push the small branches by hand, use wood stick instead.
6. When feeding branches, be certain that thicker branches should be pushed more slowly than
thin ones. A technique and understanding will be acquired to successfully shred very soon.
7. Do not allow an accumulation of processed material to build up under discharge of the shredder-
chipper as this can result in clogging. Use wood tools to clear the build up.
8. Do not put your face close to the feed hopper, which may result in injury.
9. Do not stand in front of discharge opening and never attempt to open the outlet of discharge
while machine is on operation.
10. Set back the cover to the side tube once finishing chipping.
