NOTES
Shredding
Dry or moist organic material
including leaves, plants, flow-
ers, fruits, or vegetables.
Branches and twigs up to 1/2”
diameter and 18” long.
Alternately chip or shred
moist green waste with dry
waste to avoid plugging of
the discharge chute.
Process at a feeding rate that
allows the rotor to keep up
and maintain a high rate of
speed.
Chipping
Long, thicker tree limbs or
small bunches of smaller
sticks grouped together for
ease of handling.
Tree limbs and branches,
or bundles of small sticks
grouped for easier handling.
Maximum diameter of ap-
proximately 3” (7,6 cm).
Bulky tree limbs should be
pruned close to the main
stem. Always use a shorter
piece of wood to push end
pieces into the chipper cone.
Never place hands in the
chipper cone.
Never chip very hard or dry
materials such as kiln dried di-
mensional lumber (2x4’s etc.)
or other building materials.
Never use the chipper to pro-
cess pressure-treated wood
products.
Vacuum Attachment
Light, loose, dry waste such
as leaves, grass clippings, or
sawdust.
Small materials that will not
obstruct the vacuum hose.
The vacuum is engineered
for small, loose waste and for
cleaning around decorative
landscaping and flower beds.
Twigs, wet leaves, and other
bulky materials will clog the
hose or obstruct the shred-
ding chamber.
