Operation
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.
