• Never operate unit without either the inlet nozzle or
optional hose attachment properly affixed to unit.
These devices shield the operator from accidental
contact with the rotating impeller. Never attempt to
convert the unit from nozzle to hose mode or vice
versa with the engine running.
• Never attempt to remove or empty vacuum bag
when engine is running. Shut the engine off and
wait for the impeller to come to a complete stop
before removing the bag. The impeller continues to
rotate for a few seconds after the engine is shut off.
Never place any part of the body in the impeller
area until you are sure the impeller has stopped
rotating.
• Keep all guards and safety devices in place and
operating properly.
• Do not allow an accumulation of processed
material to build up in the discharge area as this
will prevent proper discharge and can result in
kickback from the chipper chute.
• Keep your face and body back from chipper chute
to avoid accidental bounce back of any material.
• If the cutting mechanism strikes a foreign object or
if your machine should start making an unusual
noise or vibration, immediately stop the engine,
disconnect the spark plug wire and move the wire
away from the spark plug. Allow the machine to
stop and take the following steps.
• Inspect for damage
• Repair or replace any damaged parts.
• Check for any loose parts and tighten to
assure continued safe operation.
• Muffler and engine become hot and can cause a
burn. Do not touch.
• Do not allow leaves or other debris to build up on
engine’s muffler. The debris could ignite and cause
a fire.
• Do not operate engine if air cleaner or cover over
carburetor air intake is removed, except for
adjustment. Removal of such parts could create a
fire hazard.
2. CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the
presence of small children. Children are often attracted to
the chipping and vacuuming activity. Never assume that
children will remain where you last saw them.
• Keep children out of the work area and under the
watchful eye of a responsible adult other than the
operator.
• Be alert and turn the unit off if a child enters the
area.
• Never allow children under the age of 16 to operate
the chipper-vacuum.
3. SERVICE
• Use extreme care in handling gasoline and other
fuels. They are extremely flammable and the
vapors are explosive.
• Store fuel and oil in approved containers, away
from heat and open flame, and out of the reach of
children.
• Check and add fuel before starting the engine.
Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine
is running. Allow engine to cool at least two
minutes before refueling.
• Replace gasoline cap securely and wipe off any
spilled gasoline before starting the engine as it may
cause a fire or explosion.
• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other
sources of ignition.
• Never refuel unit indoors because flammable
vapors will accumulate in the area.
• Never store the machine or fuel container inside
where there is an open flame or spark such as a
gas hot water heater, clothes dryer or furnace.
• Never run your machine in an enclosed area as the
exhaust from the engine contains carbon
monoxide, which is a odorless, tasteless and
deadly poisonous gas.
• To reduce fire hazard, keep engine and muffler free
of leaves, grass, and other debris build-up. Clean
up fuel and oil spillage. Allow unit to cool at least 5
minutes before storing.
• Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make
certain the impeller and all moving parts have
stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep
wire away from spark plug to prevent accidental
starting. Do not use flammable solutions to clean
air filter.
• Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their
proper operation regularly.
• After striking a foreign object, immediately stop the
engine, disconnect the spark plug wire from the
spark plug, and thoroughly inspect the unit for any
damage. Repair damage before starting and
operating unit.
• Do not alter or tamper with the engine’s governor
setting. The governor controls the maximum safe
operating speed of the engine. Overspeeding the
engine is dangerous and will cause damage to the
engine and to other moving parts of the machine.
• Check the vacuum bag frequently for wear.
Replace if worn or damaged.
• Keep vacuum bag free of debris when not in use.
