❸OPERATION

Safe Operating Conditions

Avoid wet, slippery terrains or areas congested with people and traffic. Avoid using the machine on driveways, sidewalks, gravel, and other hard areas. The force of the air might make debris bounce up and hit cars, you, or bystanders. Wear goggles and other protective clothing.

CHIPPING TIPS

•Rotate, insert, and retract thicker branches so that the engine runs at a steady rate. Allow the rotor to recover and discharge the chips.

•Skinny prunings may be bundled and inserted together.

•Green materials chip easier and the knives keep their edges longer.

•Resharpen or replace the chipper knives when you notice that they do not self-feed very well. Forcing debris into dull knives causes vibration and will eventually damage or destroy the rotor.

•Shut down and empty the bag before it fills up and stalls the rotor.

SHREDDING TIPS

•Aim the waste butt-first down the right side of the shredder hopper (as you stand behind it).

•Use an open-handed technique, loosely grasping the waste to throw it in. Do not hold onto it.

•Pour—rather than dump—leafy waste into the shredder hopper.

•Chase waste stuck in the throat with a shreddable pruning. Or, use the end of 3” thick branch to stir clumps until the rotor pulls them in.

•Vines are best fed down the chipper, followed by a thick branch.

•Green debris exceeding the length limitations may wrap around the rotor and seriously plug up or damage the machine! Chip them.

•Materials that are too thick may stall the machine and possibly damage the hammers, rotor, housings or hopper. Use the chipper.
