GASOLINE FIRES AND HANDLING FUEL SAFELY

1.2

Use extra care in handling gasoline. It is flammable and gasoline vapors are explosive.

The running engine produces carbon monoxide, which 

is hazardous to health and life.

ATTENTION – DANGER!

• NEVER add fuel to a running engine or hot engine.

• Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never fill fuel tank indoors.

• Replace gasoline cap securely and clean up spilled fuel before restarting.

• ALWAYS start and run engine outdoors. Do not start or run engine in an enclosed area, even if doors or 

windows are open.

• DO NOT change the engine governor settings or over-speed the engine.

This unit discharges debris at high speeds. Always wear 

protective goggles. 

WARNING!

Do not allow anyone in the area while the unit is running. If someone does enter the area, 

shut the unit off immediately until they leave. Organize the work area prior to starting work.

• Dress appropriately when operating the chipper shred-

der. Always wear sturdy footwear and safety goggles. 

Never wear sandals, sneakers or open shoes, and never 

operate the chipper shredder with bare feet. Do not wear 

loose clothing that might get caught in moving parts.
• Always wear an ansi approved respirator when op-

erating machinery that produces dust. Wood dust is a 

carcinogen and can cause cancer and severe respiratory 

illnesses.
• Always use hearing protection when operating ma-

chinery.Machinery noise can cause permanent hearing 

damage.

• Be sure the area is clear of other people before operating. 
• ALWAYS maintain secure footing and solid balance 

while starting or operating the chipper shredder. Never 

lean directly over the machine.

• Operate the machine only in daylight or good artificial light.
• DO NOT operate the unit while under the influence of 

alcohol or drugs.
• Keep in mind the operator is responsible for accidents 

occurring to other people or property.
• Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing 

gravel drives, walks or roads. 
• Make sure chipper shredder is free of debris before 

starting the engine.
• DO NOT put hands or feet near rotating parts or under 

the machine. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all 

times.
• ALWAYS operate the chipper shredder outdoors, on a 

firm, level, earthen or grassy surface where the unit will 

be stable and stay in position. 
• Never attempt to operate the unit on a slope, or on a 

wet or slippery surface where you could slip and fall to-

ward the chipper cone or hopper openings.
• ALWAYS obey the size limitations for tree limbs and 

branches stated in the Waste Materials Guide portion of 

this manual.
• NEVER leave the machine running unattended. Always 

turn off the engine, wait for the rotor to come to a com

-

plete stop before leaving the area. 
• ALWAYS keep hands out of the shredder hopper when 

feeding  materials.  Never  wrap  fingers  tightly  around 

branches as you are feeding them into the unit, as a sud-

den inward surge could pull your hands and arms into 

the unit.

• NEVER allow material to build up in the discharge area 

or shredding chamber, as this may cause new material 

being  fed  into  the  machine  to  kickback  with  sufficient 

force to injure you or other bystanders.
• NEVER attempt to reposition or move the chipper 

shredder unit while it is running. Doing so could cause 

the machine to tip over, and reaching to steady the unit 

could result in accidental insertion of your hands into the 

chipper cone or shredder hopper areas.
• NEVER continue to operate the machine if it starts mak-

ing unusual noise or vibration. Shut the engine off imme

-

diately, allow the rotor to stop, disconnect the spark plug 

wire. Inspect the unit for any signs of damage or foreign 

material in the chipping or shredding areas. Remove any 

solid material that may be preventing the unit from op-

erating properly.
• NEVER attempt to unclog a shredder hopper or dis-

charge chute, or perform any maintenance work while 

the machine is running. Before doing this, always shut the 

engine off and allow the rotor to come to a complete stop.

• ALWAYS make sure that the shredding chamber, shred-

der hopper are empty before starting the unit after it has 

been idle. Attempting to start the unit with material in 

these areas could cause the engine starting cord to stop 

suddenly, injuring your hand and fingers, or toppling the 

unit over. Vibration is generally a warning sign of trouble.
• NEVER attempt to make any adjustments while the en-

gine is running.
• After striking a forgein object, stop the engine (motor) 

and wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop. 

Thorougly inspect the machine for any damage, repair the 

damage before restarting and operating the machine.
• DO NOT change the engine governor settings or over-

speed the engine.
