To Chip Branches
1. Stand to the side of the hopper and make sure you have a stable stance and firm footing.
2. Remove twigs and smaller branches from the branch in case they catch on the edges of the
funnel and prevent the branch from going in.
3. Place branches into the funnel, thick end first, and allow the blades to draw the branch into the
funnel. See Pic.17.

Chipping Tips
 DO NOT feed material larger than the diameter indicated on the funnel cover into the funnel.
Large branches will cause the motor to stall.
 Chipping wood when it is green is easier on the machine. The blades will stay sharper longer.
 The Chipper Shredder will work best if the blades are sharp. Rotate, sharpen, or replace the
blades as soon as Chipper Shredder performance begins to deteriorate.
