Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert, and knowing how to
use your yard chipper properly.
1. READ and become familiar with this entire instruction manual. LEARN the
tool’s applications, limitations, and possible hazards.
2. AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. DO NOT use power tools in wet or
damp areas or expose them to rain.
3. DO NOT use power tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
4. KEEP BYSTANDERS AT A SAFE DISTANCE FROM the work area when
the tool is operating. NEVER allow children near the tool.
5. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL to do a job for which it was not designed.
6. DRESS FOR SAFETY. DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or
jewelry (rings, watches, etc.) when operating tool. Loose clothing can get
caught and pull you into moving parts.
7. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION.
8. ALWAYS remove the power cord plug from the electric outlet when making
adjustments, changing parts, cleaning or working on the tool.
9. AVOID ACCIDENTAL START-UPS. Make sure the power switch is in the
OFF position before plugging in the power cord.
10. DO NOT abuse the power cord. Do not use it to carry the tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately; they may create a shock or fire hazard.
11. NEVER LEAVE A RUNNING TOOL UNATTENDED. Turn the power switch
to OFF. Do not leave the tool until it has come to a complete stop.
12. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Wear oil-resistant,
rubber-soled footwear.

INJURY, DO NOT PLUG IN THE CHIPPER UNTIL THE FOLLOWING
