INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING
1.
WARNING! Make sure the Power Switch (47) of the Chipper/Shredder is in its “OFF” position and that the machine is unplugged from its electrical outlet before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
2.Before each use, inspect the general condition of the Chipper/Shredder. Check for loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, damaged electrical wiring, jammed Blades (15), and any other condition that may affect its safe operation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use damaged equipment.
3.Before and after each use, open the unit and clean out the Hopper (1), Body (13), Motor Support (26), and Chute (32).
4.Periodically, inspect the two Blades (15). Using dull Blades will cause excessive wear on the Motor, and will cause jamming. Reverse or sharpen the Blades when needed. When reversing Blades always wear heavy duty gloves to avoid accidental cuts to hands and fingers. To reverse the Blades, remove the four Screws (14) that secure the Blades to the Disc (19). Turn the Blades over to expose the sharp edges. Then retighten the Screws to secure the Blades to the Disc. (See Figure I.)
5.To clean the exterior parts: Use only a clean cloth and mild detergent to clean the body of the Chipper/Shredder. Do not use solvents. Do not immerse any electrical part of the tool in liquid.
6.When storing, Store the Chipper/Shredder in a clean, dry, safe location out of reach of children and other unauthorized people.
