USE AND CARE OF CHIPPER / SHREDDER
Be sure to read the Manufacturer Chipper/Shredder
Owner's Manual which comes with the attachment and
also obey the safety messages printed on the unit and
the Chipper / Shredder attachment. This unit reduces
thick branches to chips and pulverizes lawn and garden
waste for mulching or adding to your compost pile.
Careless or improper use can be very dangerous.
Wear safety goggles of the type specified by ANSI Sa-
fety Standard Z87. Also wear a hat.
Work gloves may be worn when feeding the Chipper but
not when feeding the Shredder because they can pull
your hands into the hopper if snagged by the material.
Remove jewels or clothing articles which could be
drawn into the machine.
Set up on firm ground but not on gravel, concrete, brick
or other surfaces which provide no cushion.
DANGER
Do not start engine when there is material in the
Shredder. Shut off engine and disconnect the spark
plug wire before cleaning a jammed hopper, changing
screens or performing any maintenance or service.
After latching the clutch and stop switch and starting the
engine, leave the unit in neutral.
Disengage the clutch lever while pinning down the stop
switch lever (see drawing).
Engage the PTO when ready to operate.
Be careful what you put into the Shredder hopper. The
machine can shred most organic materials. However,
objects of certain shape, size or texture may cause trou-
ble even if organic.
The Shredder cannot handle thick branches or large
chunks of wood.
Neither Shredder nor Chipper can handle cloth, string,
glass, rubber, metal, rocks or paving or long vines.
Soggy soil, green garden wastes and wet grass clip-
pings can be processed through the Shredder by mixing
dry leaves and wood chips with the wet stuff.
For wet processing, the standard curved screen with the
"Swiss cheese" holes should be replaced with the set of
five rods and tubes supplied with the attachment.
DANGER
Do not use the Chipper/Shredder with an unscree-
ned discharge.
The discharge must be covered either with the
rods and tubes or the standard screen.
IMPORTANT
Always disengage the PTO lever before stopping the
engine. If the PTO remains in engagement during engi-
ne shutdown, the rotating Chipper/Shredder shaft may
motorize and restart the engine.
After shutdown, always check the paint splash across
the drive shaft (near Chipper chute) to be sure all move-
ment has stopped.
