Operating Instructions
Using the Chipper Shredder
Yard waste such as leaves and pine needles can be
raked up and placed in the funnel
assembly for shredding.
DO NOT PUT BRANCHES INTO THE TOP FUNNEL.
BRANCHES SHOULD BE FED INTO THE SIDE CHIPPER
CHUTE.
If using the side chipper chute to chip branches, it is im-
portant to let the chipper feed the branches through auto-
matically. DO NOT attempt to force the branches through.
If the branches do not automatically feed through, gently
push the branch and then allow the chipper to automatical-
ly feed the branch through. Forcing branches into the side
chute may wear the belt prematurely.
After the material has been shredded by the flail blades on the
impeller assembly, it will be discharged out of opening or into
chip 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 4” in
diameter can be fed into the chipper chute.
IMPORTANT: The flail screen is located inside the housing
in the discharge area. If the flail screen becomes clogged,
remove and clean as instructed. For best performance, it is
also important to keep the chipper blade sharp.
WARNING
To Empty the Chip Bag
 Stop the engine.
 Release the drawstring and remove the bag from the dis-
charge chute.
 Empty bag and reattach to the discharge chute opening.
 Do not attempt to use the side chute while using the
funnel at the same time. The chipper will bog down and will
vibrate violently causing premature wear.
