completely before inserting the next handful.

the funnel and getting the motor stuck.

cutting lines when loading the machine.
mWARNING! Overloading the mulcher + shredder may 
result in permanent damage to the motor. Always wear safety

Adjusting the Mulch Adjustment Dial
The mulch adjustment dial regulates the particle size and 
speed at which material passes through the unit. When the 
control dial is set in the COARSE position, material will be 
processed faster, but will yield a larger particle size than if the 
dial were set to FINE. The FINE position setting will discharge 
the material slower, but will yield the smallest particle reduction 
ratio (up to 17 : 1). Use the special settings for pine needles, 
grass clippings, and thatch as needed. For best results, 
material should be shredded when dry (Fig. 13).
