2. Loading
Your
Machine (See
Fig
8
)
•
With
the
unit
running
，
feed
double
handfuls
of
dry
leaves
or
single
handful
of
wet
leaves
into
the
funnel (Fig
.
8
).
•
Allow
the
machine
sufficient
time
to
shred
the
load
completely
and
regain
speed
before
inserting
the
next
handful
.
NOTE
:
Do
not
overload
the
machine
by
letting
it
labor
at
low
speed
;
this
may
cause
the
motor
to
stop
.
WARNING:
Wear
protective
gloves
while
loading
the
machine
.
Keep
your
hands
away from
the
spinning
head
and
the
cutting
lines
when
loading
the
machine
.
WARNING:
Filling
the
mulcher
with
unshredded
material at a rate faster than
the machine can handle may result in permanent damage to the motor. Always
wear
protective
glasses
and
a
dust
mask
.
3. Adjusting the Control
Dial (See
Fig
9
)
The control dial regulates the particle size and speed at which material
passes through the unit. When the control dial is set in the COARSE
position, material will process through the unit faster, but will yield a larger
particle size than if the dial were set to the FINE position. The FINE position
setting will discharge the material slower, but will yield the smallest particle
reduction ratio (up to 16 : 1). MEDIUM
position
can be
available to serve
your purpose
as needed. For best results, material should be shredded
when dry.
