Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this manual 

including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.

Operation
1.  Before operating the Chipper/Shredder, 

put on ANSI-approved safety goggles and 

other safety gear.  Safety goggles and 

other safety gear are sold separately.

2.  If an extension cord is used, ensure that it is an 

outdoor type extension cord and that it is the correct 

design to accept this appliance’s plug. 

WARNING!   

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND 

SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY: 

The extension cord must remain 

secured to the appliance’s plug.   

Secure the extension cord by either using the knot 

method explained in the safety warning section, or 

by using a device designed specifically for retaining 

the extension cord (sold separately).

3.  Check that the Power Switch is OFF.

4.  Check that the feed inlet is empty.

5.  Check that the Hopper is securely closed and that 

the Hopper Locking Knob is turned fully clockwise.

Note: The Chipper/Shredder will not run if the Hopper is 

open, not fitted well, or the Hopper Locking Knob is loose.

6.  Insert the Switch Key.

7.  Plug the Power Cord into a 120VAC/60Hz outlet.

8.  Turn on the Power Switch.

9.  Hold branches and feed them into the hopper.

WARNING! Keep clear of intake and discharge 

chute.  Use included push stick.  Unplug unit 

and allow it to stop before unclogging.

inserting them into the Chipper/Shredder. 

12. Use the Push Stick to feed leaves and 

other small material into the Hopper.

13. Feed material into the Chipper/Shredder at 

the rate that the machine pulls the material. 

Do not force material into the machine.

14. Set aside a few dry branches, then feed them into 

the machine when finished, to help clean the unit.

15. Wait for all material to pass through the Chipper/

Shredder before turning the unit off.

16. To prevent accidents, turn the power off, 

remove the Switch Key and disconnect the 

power supply after use.  Clean, then store the 

appliance indoors out of children’s reach.
