1. GENERAL OPERATION
• Read this operator's manual carefully in its entirety
before attempting to assemble this machine. Read,
understand, and follow all instructions on the
machine and in the manual(s) before operation. Be
completely familiar with the controls and the proper
use of the machine before operating it. Keep this
manual in a safe place for future and regular
reference and for ordering replacement parts.
• Your chipper-vacuum is a powerful tool, not a
plaything. Therefore, exercise extreme caution at
all times. Your unit has been designed to perform
two jobs; to chip and vacuum vegetation found in a
normal yard. Do not use it for any other purpose.
• Never allow children under 16 to operate the unit.
Children 16 years and older should only operate
under close parental supervision. Only responsible
individuals who are familiar with these rules of safe
operation should be allowed to use your unit.
• Keep the area of operation clear of all persons,
particularly small children and pets. Stop the
engine when they are in the vicinity of the unit.
• When feeding material into this equipment, be
extremely careful that pieces of metal, rocks,
bottles, cans or other foreign objects are not
included. Personal injury or damage to the machine
could result.
• Always wear safety glasses or safety goggles,
during operation and while performing an
adjustment or repair, to protect eyes from foreign
objects that may be thrown from the machine.
• Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and close
fitting slacks and shirt. Shirt and slacks that cover
the arms and legs and steel-toed shoes are
recommended. Do not wear loose fitting clothes or
jewelry, and secure hair above shoulder length.
They can be caught in moving parts. Never operate
a unit in bare feet, sandals or sneakers. Wear
gloves when feeding material in the chipper chute.

alcohol or drugs.

• Never place your hands or any part of your body or
clothing near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of
the discharge opening at all times. Never insert
your hands or any part of your body or clothing into
the nozzle, chipper chute or discharge opening as
the rotating impeller can cause serious injury.
• If it is necessary for any reason to unclog the feed
intake or discharge openings or to inspect or repair
any part of the machine where a moving part can
come in contact with your body or clothing, stop the
machine, allow it to cool, disconnect the spark plug
wire from the spark plug and move it away from the
spark plug before attempting to unclog, inspect or
repair.
• Never operate unit without vacuum bag and
discharge chute properly affixed to unit. Large
zippered end of bag must be closed to prevent
objects from being blown out.
