SECTION 2: SET UP
Set Up Safety
This machine presents serious injury hazards to untrained users. Read through
this entire manual to become familiar with the controls and operations before
starting the machine!
Location
Site Considerations
The chipper/shredder must be placed on a firm, flat, grass or dirt surface to prevent the
machine from tipping. DO NOT place the machine on concrete, asphalt, or other hard
surfaces. The chips could bounce up from the hard surface and cause injury.
Working Clearances
Consider the length of the material to be processed through the machine and make sure
that there is enough height above the chipper/shredder to accommodate the material.
Make sure the unit is located close to the area where the chips are going to be used to
reduce carrying.
Stay clear of the discharge area. Make sure all bystanders, children, pets, or objects that
you do not want damaged or covered in chips, are clear of the discharge area.
