To shred twigs, leaves, and brush:

1.Slowly pour the material into the hopper. DO NOT try to stuff too much material in at one time or the machine will jam.

2.Use a 1" diameter branch to push the mate- rial into the hopper if necessary (see Figure 9). DO NOT use your hands!

Figure 9. Shredding leaves.

Note: Move the throttle to the idle position, or turn the chipper/shredder OFF, when not actively shredding or chipping.

3.Turn OFF the machine (see the Briggs & Stratton motor manual for instructions), allow all moving parts to completely stop, and dis- connect the spark plug wire before moving the machine, emptying the bag, unclogging the inlets or outlets, filling the gas tank, or performing maintenance and repairs.

Shredding Tips:

•Feed material into the chipper/shredder slow- ly. If the motor begins to bog down, you are feeding too fast.

•Roots and dirty material will dull or damage the blades.

•Remove the chips often. Allowing the chips to pile up to the outlet will cause the outlet to clog.

•Avoid shredding wet leaves or brush to reduce clogging. If you must shred wet mate- rial, alternate wet and dry material.

To chip branches:

1.Stand to the side of the hopper and make sure you have a stable stance and firm foot- ing.

2.Remove twigs and smaller branches from the branch if they might catch on the edges of the funnel and prevent the branch from going in.

3.Place branches up to 3" diameter into the funnel, thick end first, and allow the blades to draw the branch into the funnel (see Figure 10).

Figure 10. Chipping branches.

4.When finished chipping, turn OFF the machine, allow all moving parts to come to a complete stop, and disconnect the spark plug wire before moving the machine, emptying the bag, unclogging the inlets or outlets, filling the gas tank, or performing maintenance and repairs.

Chipping Tips:

•DO NOT feed material in excess of 3" diame- ter into the funnel. Large branches will cause the motor to stall.

•Chipping wood when it is green is easier on the machine. The blades will stay sharper longer.

•The chipper/shredder will work best if the blades are sharp. Rotate, sharpen, or replace the blades as soon as chipper/shredder per- formance begins to deteriorate.
