OPERATION TIPS
WARNING
Never put your hands near the discharge chute. Failure to
heed the warning could result in serious injury. Never reach
into the hopper until the garden shredder has come to a
complete stop and is unplugged. The blades will continue to
rotate for a few seconds after the shredder is turned off.

Before starting the garden shredder, make sure that the
hopper inlet is empty.
•
Keep your face and body away from the opening.
•
Do not allow hands or any other part of the body or
clothing near the hopper or discharge chute.

Never put your hands into the hopper while the garden
shredder is running. Always use the paddle supplied
with your shredder to push items into the hopper.
•
Do not try to force objects larger than the recommended
diameter of 1-3/4 in. into the hopper.

overreach. Never stand at a higher level than the base of

noise or vibration, turn it off and allow it to come to a
complete stop. Disconnect from power supply and take
the following steps: -inspect for damage; -check for and
tighten any loose parts; -repair or replace any damaged

disconnect from power supply before clearing debris.
Keep the power source clear of debris and other
accumulations to prevent damage to the power source.
