A NOTE TO
THE HAPPY, EXCITED,
TO-HECK-WITH-THE-MANUAL
KIND OF CUSTOMER...
W
e’ve put
this information on this page because it has come
to our attention that
some
people don’t r
ead these
manuals. (Can you believe IT!)
POINT
#1
Y
ou need a 12 gauge, outdoor-rated extension
cord, not to exceed 100 feet in length. Use only one
cord, not two joined together.
POINT
#2
Dedicate a 15 amp (minimum) house
-
hold circuit to this machine. Having multiple
appliances drawing from a circuit will reduce the
chipper-shredder-vac’s performance. The unit may stall or
trip the circuit more often, without a line to itself.
POINT
#3
This dedicated cir
cuit must have sockets with Ground Fault Interrupters
(GFI)—look for small rectangular red buttons built into the socket. The
electric motor’s switch is insulated with silicon and the motor is UL listed.
But a GFI is further insurance.
POINT
#4
Blowing a fuse or tripping a cir
cuit breaker is a warning that the operator
is over-loading the machine or has too many devices taking power from
the circuit—or both. Determine the cause (i.e., overloaded circuit, feeding
chipper too fast with thicker branches, old circuitry, etc.) and correct it. A
higher capacity fuse shall NOT be installed.
POINT
#5
For your own satisfaction and safety
, please
read the manual.
