before servicing it, when changing accessories, and when

6.  Do not abuse the cord – Never carry the wood chipper 

+ shredder by the cord or yank the cord to disconnect it 

from the receptacle. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, 

and sharp edges.

Keep the cutting edges sharp and clean for optimal 

performance and to reduce the risk of injury. Inspect the 

extension cord periodically and immediately replace it 

if damaged. Keep the handles dry, clean, and free from 

oil and grease. Follow the additional recommendations 

described in the Care + Maintenance section of this 

manual.

10. Check for damaged parts – Before further use of the 

appliance, a part that is damaged should be carefully 

checked to determine that it will operate properly and
