OPERATION
Starting
Make sure the switch is in the OFF position. Plug the chipper shredder into a suitable outlet using an
approved extension cord if necessary. Push the ON/OFF switch to “ON” to turn the chipper shredder on.
Stopping
Push the ON/OFF switch to “OFF” to turn the chipper shredder off.
CAUTION: The chipper shredder will not operate if the hopper
locking knob is loose.
Overload protection
Your chipper shredder is designed with overload protection. If the shredder is
clogged during shredding, the overload protection will cut the power automatically to protect your
shredder. Wait at least 1 minute before restarting by first pressing the reset button and then the ON/OFF
switch.
Hopper locking knob
The chipper shredder is fitted with a safety interlock switch on the closure between the hopper and main
body. The switch is activated when the hopper is securely closed and tightened by the hopper locking
knob. When the hopper is opened or not fitted well, the shredder will not run. Always tighten the hopper
locking knob by turning it clockwise before operation.
Blades
The blades on the rotary plate are reversible. For quality and safety reasons, we recommend that only
identical replacement blades be used should it become necessary to replace them.
Shredding Material
WARNING! Before starting, ensure that the feed inlet is empty.
WARNING! Always wear ear and eye protection and wear gloves during operation.
CAUTION! Longer material standing out from the shredder could lash out when being pulled
in by the blades. Keep a safe distance.
CAUTION! When using the chipper shredder and feeding branches into the shredder,
sometimes the blades pull the material into the opening. Keep hands at a safe distance.
CAUTION! The ventilation slots must not be covered.
