Using The Vacuum Shredder 

Place both hands on top of upper handle to push unit over yard waste. 
Yard waste such as leaves and pine needles can be vacuumed up through 
the nozzle for shredding. 
After material has been shredded by the blades on the impeller assembly, 
it will be discharged into catcher bag. 

IMPORTANT: 

No not attempt to shred or chip any material other than 

vegetation  found  in  a  normal  yard  (i.e.  branches,  leaves,  twigs,  etc.) 
Avoid fibrous plants such as tomato vines until they are thoroughly dried 
out. Material such as stalks or heavy branches up to 3” in diameter may 
be fed into the chipper chute. 

WARNING

Do not attempt to shred, chip, or vacuum any material larger 

than  specified  on  the  machine  or  in  this  manual.  Personal  injury  or 
damage to the machine could result.   

IMPORTANT

The  flail  screen  is  located  inside  the  housing  in  the 

discharge area. If the flail screen becomes clogged, remove and clean as 
instructed in the maintenance section. For best performance, it is also 
important to keep the chipper blade sharp.
