SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Operation

Do not put hands and feet near rotating parts or in the feeding chambers and discharge opening. Contact with the rotating impeller can amputate fingers, hands, and feet.

Before starting the machine, make sure the chipper chute, feed intake, and cutting chamber are empty and free of all debris.

Thoroughly inspect all material to be shredded and remove any metal, rocks, bottles, cans, or other foreign objects which could cause personal injury or damage to the machine.

If the impeller strikes a foreign object or if your machine should start making an unusual noise or vibration, immediately shut the engine off. Allow the impeller to come to a complete stop. Disconnect the spark plug wire, ground it against the engine and perform the following steps:

1.Inspect for damage.

2.Repair or replace any damaged parts.

3.Check for any loose parts and tighten to assure continued safe operation.

Do not allow an accumulation of processed material to build up in the discharge area. This can prevent proper discharge and result in kickback of material through the feed opening.

Do not attempt to shred or chip material larger than specified on the machine or in this manual. Personal injury or machine damage could result.

Never attempt to unclog either the feed intake or discharge opening while the engine is running. Shut the engine off, wait until all moving parts have stopped, disconnect the spark plug wire and ground it against the engine before clearing debris.

Never operate without vacuum bag and discharge chute properly attached to the machine. Never empty or change vacuum bag while the engine is running. Zippered end of vacuum bag must be kept closed at all times during operation.

Never operate without either the inlet nozzle or optional hose attachment properly attached to the machine. Never attempt to attach or change either attachment while the engine is running.

Keep all guards, deflectors and safety devices in place and operating properly.

Keep your face and body back and to the side of the chipper chute while feeding material into the machine to avoid accidental kickback injuries.

Never operate this machine without good visibility or light. Always be sure of your footing and keep a firm hold on the handles.

Do not operate this machine on a gravel surface.

Do not operate this machine while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Muffler and engine become hot and can cause a burn. Do not touch.

Never pick up or carry machine while the engine is running.

Maintenance & Storage

Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.

Check bolts and screws for proper tightness at frequent intervals to keep the machine in safe working condition. Also, visually inspect machine for any damage and repair, if needed.

Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, stop the engine and make certain the impeller and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground it against the engine to prevent unintended starting.

Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine. The governor controls the maximum safe operating speed of the engine.

Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.

Follow this manual for safe loading, unloading, transporting, and storage of this machine.

Never store the machine or fuel container inside where there is an open flame, spark or pilot light such as a water heater, furnace, clothes dryer, etc.

Always refer to the operator’s manual for proper instructions on off-season storage.

If the fuel tank has to be drained, do this outdoors.

Observe proper disposal laws and regulations for gas, oil, etc. to protect the environment.

Do not modify engine

To avoid serious injury or death, do not modify engine in any way. Tampering with the governor setting can lead to a runaway engine and cause it to operate at unsafe speeds. Never tamper with factory setting of engine governor.
