this manual before attempting to operate this machine. Failure to comply with these instructions may
result in personal injury. When you see this symbol - heed its warning.
WARNING: Th e Engine Exhaust from this pr oduct contains chemicals kno wn to the
State of Californi a to cause cancer, birt h defects or other re productive h arm.
DANGER: This machine was built to be operated according to the rules for safe operation in this
manual. As with any type of power equipment, carelessness or error on the part of the operator can
result in serious injury. This machine is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects.
Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in serious injury or death.
GENERAL OPERA TION
• Read this operator’s manual carefully in its entirety
before attempting to assemble this machine. Read,
understand, and follow all instructions on the machine
and in the manual(s) before operation. Be completely
familiar with the controls and the proper use of this
machine before operating it. Keep this manual in a
safe place for future and regular reference and for
ordering replacemen t parts.
• This machine is a precision piece of power
equipment, not a plaything. Therefore, exercise
extreme caution at all times. Your unit has been
designed to chip, shred, vacuum, or blow. Do not use
it for any other purpose.
• Never allow children under 16 years old to operate
this machine. Children 16 years old and over should
read and understand the operation instructions and
safety rules in this manual and should be trained and
supervised by an adult. Only responsible individuals
who are familiar with these rules of safe operation
should be allowed to use this machine.
• Thoroug hly inspect the ar ea where the equipm ent is
to be used. Remove all stones, sticks, wire, bones,
toys, and other foreign objects which could be tripped
over or picked up and thrown by the chipper shredder
vacuum in any direction which could cause serious
personal injury to the operator or any others allowed
in the area.
• Always wear safety glasses or safety goggles during
operation or while performing an adjustment or repair,
to protect eyes from foreign objects that may be
thrown from the machine in any direction.
• Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and close-fitting
slacks and shirts. Shirts and pants that cover the
arms and legs and steel-toed shoes are
recommended. Never operate a unit in bare feet,
sandals, slippery or light weight (e.g. canvas) shoes.
• Never place your hands or any part of your body or
clothing near rotating parts. Keep clear of the
discharge opening at all times. Never insert your
hands or any part of your body or clothing into the
nozzle, chipper chute or discharge opening as the
rotating impeller can cause serious injury.
• Do not operate this machine while under the
influence of alcohol or drugs.
• If it is necessary for any reason to unclog the feed
intake or discharge openings or to inspect or repair
any part of the machine where a moving part can
come in contact your body or clothing, stop the
machine, allow it to cool, disconnect the spark plug
wire from the spark plug and ground against the
engine before attempting to unclog, inspect or repair.
• Never operate unit without the vacuum bag or blower
chute properly affixed to unit. To avoid a thrown
object the large open end of bag must be securely
closed prior to operation to prevent objects from
being thrown out of the bag.
• If operating in the blower mode (optional blower chute
attachment may be included with your unit):
• Do not stand or walk in front of blower discharge or
aim it at bystanders, pets, vehicles, ect. Objects
thrown out the di sc ha rg e c an ca us e p e rso na l in jur y o r
property damage.
• Do not direct blower discharge against a wall or other
vertical obstructions. Discharge materials may
ricochet back at the operator.
• Adjust vac nozzle height to highest position to reduce
likelihood of heavier objects (e.g., small stones,
pieces of glass or metal) being picked up and thrown
out the discharge. Raising nozzle to highest position
also maximizes air intake for improved blowing
performance.
• Never attempt to remove or empty vacuum bag when
engine is running. Shut the engine off and wait for the
impeller to come to a complete stop before removing
the bag. The impeller continues to rotate for a few
seconds after the engine is shut off. Never place any
part of the body in the impeller area until you are sure
the impeller has stopped rotating.
• Keep all guards and safety devices in place and
operating properly.
3
• Do not allow an accumulation of processed material
to build up in the discharge area as this will prevent
proper discharge.
• When feeding material into the chipper, do not stand
with your face or body directly in front of the chipper
chute. Stand to one side. Material being feed may
bounce back out of the chute and cause personal
injury.
• If the cutting mechanism strikes a foreign object or if
your machine should start making an unusual noise
or vibration, immediately stop the engine, wait for
impeller to come to a complete stop, and disconnect
the spark plug wire and ground against the engine.
Follow steps lis ted be low:
• Inspect for damage.
• Repair or replace any damaged parts prior to
continuing operation.
• Check for any loose parts and tighten to assure
continued safe operation.
• Muffler and engine become hot and can cause a
burn. Do not touch.
• Only use parts and accessories made for this
machine by the manufacturer. Failure to do so, can
result in personal injury.
• If situations occur which are not covered in this
manual, use care and good judgment. Contact your
dealer for assistance. Telephone 1-800-800-7310 for
the name of your nearest dealer.
CHILDREN
Tragic acc idents can occur if the oper ator is not alert to the
presence of children. Children are often attracted to the
chipping and vacuum activity. They do not understand the
dangers. Never assume that children will remain where you
last saw them.
• Keep children out of the work area and under the
watchful care of a responsible adult other than the
operator.
• Be alert and turn the machine off if a child enters the
area.
• Before and while moving backwards, look behind and
down for small children.
• Use extreme care when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure your
vision of a child who may run into the machine.
• Keep children away from hot or running engines.
They can suffer burns from a hot muffler.
• Never allow children under age 16 to operate this
machine. Ch ildren 16 years of age and over shoul d
read and understand the operation instructions and
safety rules in this manual and should be trained and
supervised by an adult.
