Using The Chipper Shredder
Yard waste such as leaves and pine needles can be raked up through the hopper assembly for shredding. After material has been shredded by the flail blades on the impeller assembly, it will be discharged out of opening or into catcher bag. Do not attempt to shred or chip any material other than vegetation found in a normal yard (i.e. branches, leaves, twigs, etc.) Avoid fibrous plants such as tomato vines until they are thoroughly dried out. Twigs and small branches up to 3” in diameter on models 462 thru 465 and 2” in diameter on models 463 can be fed into the chipper chute. If equipped, use the tamper plug to push material into the chipper chute. See Figure 8.
IMPORTANT: The flail screen is located inside the housing in the discharge area. If the flail screen becomes clogged, remove and clean as instructed in
SECTION 5: MAINTAINING YOUR CHIPPER SHREDDER. For best performance, it is also important to keep the chipper blade sharp.
