Your chipper-shredder is equipped with a catcher bag to catch the shredded material.

To attach the bag, place the bag opening over the discharge chute so it completely covers the discharge chute and goes over the chute flanges.

Depress the plunger on the draw-string, and pull on the drew-string until the bag is tight around the chute opening. Release plunger to lock it into position. See figure 8.
