Additional Safety Instructions
for Chipper/Shredders
1.READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL AND THE BRIGGS & STRATTON® MOTOR MANU- AL: These manuals contain proper operat- ing and safety instructions for this chipper/ shredder.
2.SAFETY EQUIPMENT: Wear safety glass- es, hearing protection, and gloves when operating a chipper/shredder. Make sure any bystanders are also wearing safety equipment.
3.ENGINE OPERATION: Refer to the Briggs & Stratton motor manual for operating instructions and gasoline motor safety warnings.
4.HAND SAFETY: DO NOT put hands or other body parts into hopper, funnel, or outlet while the blades are turning. The chipper/shredder can drag you into the blade, causing amputation of fingers, hands or other body parts. DO NOT touch the exhaust during or immediately after opera- tion to prevent burns.
5.CLOTHING: DO NOT wear loose clothing, neckties, scarves, or jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. DO NOT wear clothing or gloves with pull ties or straps. This type of clothing could get tangled with material that is being shredded, pulling you into the chipper/shredder.
6.OPERATING LOCATION: Set up the chip- per/shredder on firm, level, grass or dirt. DO NOT set up the chipper/shredder on gravel, asphalt, concrete, or stone. The chips are expelled from the machine with enough force to ricochet off of hard sur- faces and cause serious injury. DO NOT set up the chipper/shredder in a location where sparks or heat from the motor could cause a fire.
