Safety Rules & Information  
Operating Safety  
Congratulations on purchasing a superior-quality piece  
of lawn and garden equipment. Our products are  
designed and manufactured to meet or exceed all industry  
standards for safety.  
Power equipment is only as safe as the operator. If it is  
misused, or not properly maintained, it can be dangerous!  
Remember, you are responsible for your safety and that of  
those around you.  
Use common sense, and think through what you are  
doing. If you are not sure that the task you are about to  
perform can be safely done with the equipment you have  
chosen, ask a professional: contact your local authorized  
dealer.  
Read the Manual  
The operator’s manual contains important safety information you need to be  
aware of BEFORE you operate your unit as well as DURING operation.  
Safe operating techniques, an explanation of the product’s features and  
controls, and maintenance information is included to help you get the  
most out of your equipment investment.  
Be sure to completely read the Safety Rules and Information found  
on the following pages. Also completely read the Operation section.  
Children  
Tragic accidents can occur with children. Do not allow  
them anywhere near the area of operation. Children  
are often attracted to the unit and usage activity. Never  
assume that children will remain where you last saw  
them. If there is a risk that children may enter the area  
where you are operating, have another responsible adult  
watch them.

Safety Rules and Information  
Moving Parts  
This equipment has many moving parts that can injure you or  
someone else. However, if you follow all the rules in this book,  
the unit is safe to operate.  
The chipper/shredder has spinning blades that can amputate  
hands and feet. Do not allow anyone near the equipment  
while it is running! Do not place hands or feet in the hopper or  
chipper cone, or discharge chute.  
Thrown Objects  
This unit discharges debris at high speeds. Always wear protective goggles  
and do not operate without the debris bag in place. Also, do not allow anyone  
in the area while the unit is running! If someone does enter the area, shut the  
unit off immediately until they leave. Organize the work area prior to starting  
work.  
Fuel and Maintenance  
Gasoline is extremely flammable. Its vapors are also extremely flammable  
and can travel to distant ignition sources. Gasoline must only be used as a  
fuel, not as a solvent or cleaner. It should never be stored any place where  
its vapors can build up or travel to an ignition source like a pilot light. Fuel  
belongs in an approved, plastic, sealed gas can, or in the fuel tank with the  
cap securely closed. Spilled fuel needs to be cleaned up immediately.  
Proper maintenance is critical to the safety and performance of your unit.  
Be sure to perform the maintenance procedures listed in this manual,  
especially periodically testing the safety system.

Safety Rules & Information  
Read these safety rules and follow them closely. Failure to obey these rules could result in loss of control  
of unit, severe personal injury or death to you, or bystanders, or damage to property or equipment.  
This unit is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. The triangle  
in text  
signifies important cautions or warnings which must be followed.  
14. Never leave the machine running unattended. Always  
turn off the engine, wait for the rotor to come to a  
complete stop, and disconnect the spark plug before  
leaving the area. Always move the unit to a safe  
storage area when not in use.  
15. Always maintain secure footing and solid balance  
while starting or operating the chipper/shredder.  
Never lean directly over the machine.  
16. Always stand to the side of the chipper cone when  
feeding tree limbs and branches into the unit, as tree  
limbs, branches, and harder woods may kick back  
while being chipped.  
17. Always keep hands out of the chipper cone and  
shredder hopper when feeding materials. Never wrap  
fingers tightly around branches as you are feeding  
them into the unit, as a sudden inward surge could  
pull your hands and arms into the unit.  
18. Never allow material to build up in the discharge  
area or shredding chamber, as this may cause new  
material being fed into the machine to kickback with  
sufficient force to injure you or other bystanders.  
19. Never allow material to build up around the engine  
during chipper/shredder operation. This could result in  
a fire, or overheating of the engine.  
20. Never attempt to reposition or move the chipper/  
shredder unit while it is running. Doing so could cause  
the machine to tip over, and reaching to steady the  
unit could result in accidental insertion of your hands  
into the chipper cone or shredder hopper areas.  
21. Never continue to operate the machine if it starts  
making unusual noise or vibration. Shut the engine  
off immediately, allow the rotor to stop, disconnect the  
spark plug wire and secure the wire away from the  
spark plug. Inspect the unit for any signs of damage  
or foreign material in the chipping or shredding areas.  
Remove any solid material that may be preventing the  
unit from operating properly.  
PREPARATION  
1. Do not operate the equipment without wearing  
adequate outer garments and safety goggles. Avoid  
loose-fitting clothes and use protective footwear that  
will improve footing on slippery surfaces.  
TRAINING  
1. Read the operating and service instructions carefully.  
Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the  
proper use of the equipment. Know how to stop the  
unit and disengage the control quickly.  
2. Keep the area of operation clear of all persons,  
particularly small children, and pets.  
GENERAl OPERATION  
1. Read, understand, and follow all instructions in the  
manual and on the unit before starting.  
2. Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under  
the machine. Keep clear of the discharge opening at  
all times.  
3. Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with  
the instructions, to operate the unit (local regulations  
can restrict operator age).  
4. Be sure the area is clear of other people before  
operating. Stop the unit if anyone enters the area.  
5. Never direct discharge material toward anyone. Avoid  
discharging material against a wall or obstruction.  
Material may ricochet back toward the operator.  
6. Operate the machine only in daylight or good artificial  
light.  
7. Do not operate the unit while under the influence of  
alcohol or drugs.  
8. Always wear eye and hearing protection when  
operating this unit.  
9. Keep in mind the operator is responsible for accidents  
occurring to other people or property.  
10. It is a violation of California Public Resource Code  
Section 4442 to use or operate the engine on or near  
any forest-covered, brush-covered, or grass-covered  
land unless the exhaust system is equipped with a  
spark arrester meeting any applicable local or state  
laws. Other states or federal areas may have similar  
laws.  
22. Never attempt to clear clogs from the chipper cone,  
shredder hopper or discharge chute while the unit is  
running. Always shut the engine off, allow the rotor  
to come to a complete stop, and remove the spark  
plug wire from the spark plug before removing excess  
materials.  
11. Always operate the chipper/shredder outdoors, on a  
firm, level, earthen or grassy surface where the unit  
will be stable and stay in position. Never attempt to  
operate the unit on a slope, or on a wet or slippery  
surface where you could slip and fall toward the  
chipper cone or hopper openings.  
12. Never operate the chipper/shredder on asphalt,  
concrete, or other hard surfaces as material being  
ejected out of the discharge chute could ricochet,  
causing injury to you or bystanders.  
23. Never attempt to perform any maintenance, repairs,  
or attachment of accessories while the unit is running.  
Always shut the unit off, allow the rotor to come to a  
complete stop, and remove the spark plug wire from  
the spark plug before beginning these activities.  
24. Always make sure that the shredding chamber,  
shredder hopper, and chipper cone are empty before  
starting the unit after it has been idle. Attempting to  
start the unit with material in these areas could cause  
the engine starting cord to stop suddenly, injuring  
your hand and fingers, or toppling the unit over.  
Vibration is generally a warning sign of trouble.  
13. Always obey the size limitations for tree limbs and  
branches stated in the Waste Materials Guide portion  
of this manual.

Operation  
General Operating Safety  
DANGER  
Be sure to read all information in the Safety and Operation  
sections before attempting to operate this unit. Become  
familiar with all of the controls and how to stop the unit.  
The exhaust from this product contains carbon  
monoxide gas. Carbon monoxide is a colorless,  
orderless, and tasteless gas that can cause  
dizziness, nausea, unconsciousness, or even  
brain damage and death if inhaled for prolonged  
periods.  
Upon start-up and shut-down, you may hear the  
metal-to-metal sound of the triangular hammers and J-  
hammers positioning themselves on the rotor. This is  
normal. If this sound continues after the machine has  
reached full speed, contact your dealer for an inspection  
of the unit. Overloading the equipment will shorten its  
life, and can cause mechanical failures.  
Operate the unit outdoors in a well ventilated  
location only. Keep children, pets, and bystanders  
away.  
Failure to follow these instructions may result in  
serious injury or death.  
Chipper Operation  
The chipper is designed to handle tree limbs and  
branches up to approximately 3” (7,6 cm) in diameter.  
The chipping knives also permit the processing of course  
organic matter like corn stalks. Tree branches must be  
inserted large-end first into the chipper cone. Since  
occasional kick-backs may occur, always stand off to the  
side of the unit. Allow the self-feeding action of the unit  
to draw the sticks in.  
Adding Fuel  
Do not use gasoline containing METHANOL,  
gasohol containing more than 10%  
ETHANOL, gasoline additives, or white gas  
because engine/fuel system damage could  
result.  
Shredder Operation  
The shredder is designed to shred light brush, leaves,  
and other soft but bulky organic waste. As material is  
loaded into the shredder hopper it is pulled into the path  
of the triangular and J-hammers by air flow.  
WARNING  
Gasoline is highly flammable and must be handled

WARNING  
To add fuel:  
To avoid serious personal injury from rotating  
cutting blades, keep hands out of inlet while  
machine is running.  
1. Remove the fuel cap (see Figure 1).  
2. Fill the tank. Do not overfill. Leave room in the tank  
for fuel expansion. Refer to your engine manual for  
specific fuel recommendations.  
may be processed by the Vacuum hose adapter kit.  
Leaves may be raked directly into the leaf tray where  
vacuum action will draw them into the shredder. For  
hard-to-reach areas, the nozzle and hose assembly may  
be used. The strength of the Vacuum may be changed  
using the rotating sleeve on the nozzle. (See Vacuum Kit  
parts explosion on page 28.)  
3. Install and hand tighten the fuel cap.  
Starting the Engine  
1. Set the throttle to FULL.  
2. Close the choke.  
NOTE: A warm engine may not require choking.  
3. Place one foot on the front support leg to hold the  
unit firmly in place.  
4. Pull the starting rope out to begin turning the engine  
over. Pull slowly at first and increase speed with  
each successive pull.  
Operating location  
Select an area with firm, level ground, covered by dirt or  
grass. Do not operate on wet or slick surfaces, or near  
bystanders. Locate and organize the materials to be  
processed so that you don’t have to walk in front of the  
inlet or discharge openings, and so you have adequate  
room to work safely.  
5. After the engine starts, open the choke and move the  
engine throttle control to SLOW. Warm up the engine

Operation  
by running it for at least a minute.  
6. Set throttle to FULL and begin chipping/shredding.  
Stopping the Engine  
NOTE: In the event of an emergency the engine can be  
stopped by setting the throttle control to STOP.  
1. Slide the throttle control fully left to the  
STOP position.  
NOTE: Upon start-up and shut-down, you may hear the  
metal-to-metal sound of the triangular hammers and J-  
hammers positioning themselves on the rotor. This is  
normal.  
2. After the engine has stopped moving, remove the  
spark plug wire and remove any debris from the unit  
and engine.  
Processing Materials  
Most materials to be processed can be handled more  
efficiently by following these tips.  
Figure 2. Chipping.  
Chipping Tips:  
• Prune branches down close to the main branch to  
make feeding them into the chipper cone easier.  
• Large, hard, dried tree branches that resist chipping  
can be processed by rotating them as you alternately  
insert and retract them.  
• If the material to be chipped is extremely hard, kicks  
back forcefully when being fed into the chipper cone,  
or cannot be easily controlled, remove the material  
immediately and set it aside.  
• If additional force is required to insert materials  
into the chipper, the blades probably need to be  
sharpened. Consult the Troubleshooting and Repair  
section of this manual, or see your authorized dealer.  
• Maintain control of the materials you are feeding to  
prevent them from whipping around.  
• Do not insert short pieces of material into the chipper  
cone by hand. Use a larger piece of material to force  
them into the chipper cone.  
Shredding Tips  
• Don’t overload the shredder by dumping large  
volumes of material into the hopper opening.  
• Alternate loads of wet and dry material to prevent the  
discharge from becoming plugged.  
• Never use any object to force material into the  
shredding chamber. It could get caught in the  
shredding hammers and damage the unit.

Storage  
Before you store your unit for the off-season, read the  
Maintenance and Storage instructions in the Safety  
Rules section, then perform the following steps:  
• Perform engine maintenance and storage measures  
listed in the engine owner’s manual. This includes  
draining the fuel system, or adding stabilizer to  
the fuel (do not store a fueled unit in an enclosed  
structure - see warning).  
Before starting the unit after it has been stored:  
• Check all fluid levels. Check all maintenance items.  
• Perform all recommended checks and procedures  
found in the engine owner’s manual.  
• Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes  
before use.
