Protecting Yourself and Those Around You

This is a high-powered machine, with moving parts operating with high energy. You must operate the machine safely. Unsafe operation can create a number of hazards for you, as well as anyone else in the nearby area. This machine can crush, grind, cut, and sever parts of your body if they enter the inlet or discharge area of your Chipper Shredder. Always take the following precautions when using this machine:

 Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people, their property, and

themselves.

 Always wear protective goggles or safety glasses with side shields while using the Chipper Shredder to protect your eyes from

possible thrown debris.

 Avoid wearing loose clothing or jewelry, which can catch on moving parts or the material fed into the Chipper Shredder.  We recommend wearing gloves while using the Chipper Shredder. Be sure your gloves fit properly and do not have loose

cuffs or drawstrings.

 Wear shoes with non-slip treads when using your Chipper Shredder. If you have safety shoes, we recommend wearing them.

Do not use the machine while barefoot or wearing open sandals.

 Wear long pants while operating the Chipper Shredder.  Use ear protectors or earplugs rated for at least 20 dba to protect your hearing.  Keep bystanders at least 100 feet away from your work area. Stop the engine when another person or pet approaches.

Safety for Children and Pets

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children and pets. Children are often attracted to the machine and the chipping/shredding activity. these precautions:

Never

assume that children will remain where you last saw them. Always follow

 Keep children and pets at least 100 feet from the working area and ensure they are under the watchful care of a responsible

adult.

 Be alert and turn the machine off if children or pets enter the work area.  Never allow children to operate the Chipper Shredder.

Safety with Gasoline - Powered Machines

Gasoline is a highly flammable liquid. Gasoline also gives off flammable vapor that can be easily ignited and cause a fire or explosion. Never overlook the hazards of gasoline. Always follow these precautions:

 Never run the Engine in an enclosed area or without proper ventilation as the exhaust from the Engine contains carbon

monoxide, which is an odorless, tasteless, and deadly poisonous gas.

 Store all fuel and oil in containers specifically designed and approved for this purpose and keep away from heat and open

flame, and out of the reach of children.

 Replace rubber Fuel Lines and Grommets when worn or damaged and after 5 years of use.  Fill the Gasoline Tank outdoors with the Engine off and allow the Engine to cool completely. Don't handle gasoline if you or

anyone nearby is smoking, or if you're near anything that could cause it to ignite or explode. Reinstall the Fuel Tank Cap and Fuel Container Cap securely.

 If you spill gasoline, do not attempt to start the Engine. Move the machine away from the area of the spill and avoid creating

any source of ignition until the gas vapors have dissipated. Wipe up any spilled fuel to prevent a fire hazard and properly dispose of the waste.

9.5 Chipper Shredder

Safety with Gasoline - Powered Machines (Continued)

 To safely store, allow the Engine to cool completely before moving into any enclosure. Never store a machine that has gas in

the tank, or a Fuel Container, near an open flame or spark such as a water heater, space heater, clothes dryer or furnace.

 Never make adjustments or repairs with the Engine running. Shut down the Engine, disconnect the Spark Plug wire, keeping

it away from the Spark Plug to prevent accidental starting, wait 5 minutes before making adjustments or repairs.

 Never tamper with the Engine’s Governor setting. The Governor controls the maximum safe operation speed and protects

the Engine. Over-speeding the Engine is dangerous and will cause damage to the Engine and to the other moving parts of the machine. If required, see your authorized dealer for Engine governor adjustments.

 Keep combustible substances away from the Engine when it is hot.  Never cover the machine while the Muffler is still hot.  Do not operate the Engine with the Air Cleaner or the Carburetor Air Intake Cover removed. Removal of such parts could

create a fire hazard. Do not use flammable solutions to clean the Air Filter.

 The Muffler and Engine become very hot and can cause a severe burn; do not touch.

General Safety

Operating this Chipper Shredder safely is necessary to prevent or minimize the risk of death or serious injury. Unsafe operation can create a number of hazards for you. Always take the following precautions when operating this machine:

 Your Chipper Shredder is a powerful tool, not a plaything. Exercise extreme caution at all times. The machine is designed to

chip wood and shred most organic materials. Do not use it for any other purpose.

 Thoroughly inspect the area in which you will be working and remove all foreign objects. Look for rope, wire, etc., and remove

these objects before chipping/shredding. Inserting these objects into the Chipper Shredder Hopper could damage the machine and/or cause injury.

 Know how to stop the Chipper Shredder quickly; see “Stopping the Engine” in Chapter 3.  Never operate your unit on a slippery, wet, muddy, or icy surface. Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling.  See manufacturer’s instructions for proper operation and installation of accessories. Only use accessories approved by DR

Power Equipment.

 Never use the machine without ensuring that all guards and shields are in place.  Never, under any conditions, remove, bend, cut, fit, weld, or otherwise alter standard parts on the Chipper Shredder. This

includes all shields and guards. Modifications to your machine could cause personal injuries and property damage and will void your warranty.

 Never use the machine with the Chipper Chute, Shredder Hopper, Blowback Guards, or Discharge Guard removed.  Never place any part of your body in the Chipper Chute, Shredder Hopper, discharge opening, or near any moving part while

the machine is running. Keep the area of discharge clear of anything that will obstruct a clear discharge. Wind can also change discharge direction, so be aware. If it becomes necessary to push material into the Chipper Chute or Shredder Hopper, use a small diameter stick, NOT YOUR HANDS.

 Keep your face and body back from the Chipper Chute and Shredder Hopper to avoid accidental bounce back of any material.  Do not allow an accumulation of processed material to build up in the discharge area as this will prevent proper discharge

and can result in kickback.

 Allow only one person to operate the Chipper Shredder at any time.  Always operate the machine from the Operator Zone (see Figure 14

of the machine when the Engine is running or the Flywheel is turning.

 If the machine should start making an unusual noise or vibration, shut down the Engine, disconnect the Spark Plug Wire,

keeping it away from the Spark Plug to prevent accidental starting, wait 5 minutes, then inspect for damage. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble. Check for damaged parts and clean, repair, and/or replace as necessary.

 Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.

on page 12). Never pass or stand on the discharge side

General Safety (continued)

 Never try to pick up, move, or transport the machine while the Engine is running or the Flywheel is turning.  For safe loading up ramps carefully PULL the machine with the Shredder Hopper hand holds. For safe unloading down

ramps, guide the machine from behind with the hand holds so it goes down the ramps and you follow.

 Before performing any maintenance or inspection procedure on the Chipper Shredder, shut the Engine OFF, wait 5 minutes

for machine to cool, remove the Spark Plug Wire keeping it away from the Spark Plug.

 Never allow people who do not understand and/or have not read this Safety and Operating Instructions Manual to use the

Chipper Shredder. Allow only responsible individuals who are familiar with these rules of safe operation to use your machine.

 Never overload or attempt to Chip or Shred material beyond the manufacturer’s recommendation. Personal injury or damage

to the machine could result.

 While using the Chipper Shredder, don't hurry or take things for granted. When in doubt about the equipment or your

surroundings, stop the machine and take the time to look things over.

 Never operate the machine when under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.  Use the machine only in daylight.  Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic.  Keep all nuts and bolts tight and keep the equipment in good operating condition.

 Visually check the Chipper Knife for damage each time you use the machine.  ALWAYS operate the DR 9.5 Chipper Shredder from the Operator Zones

(Figure 18).

 When viewed from the Chipper Chute side the Flywheel turns in a clockwise

direction.

 NEVER assume you know where the Chipper Knife is. You do not know

where it is.

 ALWAYS stop the Engine when leaving the Operating Zone or when moving

the machine.

Using the Chipper Chute

The Chipper Chute is designed to chip thicker materials that the Shredder Hopper isn’t designed to handle. The revolving Chipper Knife mounted on a Flywheel turns branches fed into the Chute into “chips”. The Chipper can chip

Figure 18

 The Chipper is not self-feeding. Hold onto and slowly feed material into the Chipper Chute while paying attention to the engine

speed. Do not force material or allow material to be pulled too quickly into the Chipper.

 Larger diameter hardwood or extremely hard knots may not process as well as other materials. Discard larger diameter or

harder branch stubs before they become too short to control their feed rate.

 Overloading the Chipper Chute will cause the Engine speed to decrease. If the Engine bogs down, stop feeding material into

the Chipper Chute and wait until the Engine returns to full speed before continuing.

 Your DR 9.5 Chipper Shredder can process dry or green material. Green material will process quicker and easier than dry

material. Soft wood processes easier than hard wood.

 If the machine does not chip well, the Chipper Knife may need sharpening or may need to be replaced.  It is best to trim off any side twigs from the main branch that you are chipping.  When chipping branches, sometimes a tail will remain at the end of a branch. To avoid this, rotate the branch while feeding it

into the Chipper Chute. Rotating the branch as you feed it into the machine will improve chipping performance.

 Use caution with small diameter green saplings and branches less than 1" in diameter. Chip these grouped or bundled

together to provide support for each other. If the material is 1" or larger, feed only one at a time into the Chipper Chute.

 NEVER allow processed material to build up within 3" of the Discharge opening. Move the DR 9.5 Chipper Shredder or the pile

as needed. Failure to do so could result in unnecessary jamming of the machine.

 To move a pile of processed material, first shut off the Engine, and use a spade, rake, or long handle tool; NEVER use your

hands or feet!

 Make sure the DR 9.5 Chipper Shredder finishes processing and discharging material before shutting the Engine off.

twigs and branches ranging in size from 1/2" to 3" in diameter. Cut your materials into manageable lengths

before feeding them into the Chipper Chute.

14 DR

9.5 Chipper Shredder

The Hammers within the Shredding Chamber can tug suddenly at material fed into the Shredder Hopper. Do not hold on tightly to branches and vines, and do not feed material straight down into the Hopper with your arm pointing downward toward the opening. Instead, keep your arms parallel to the ground and several inches above the top edge of the Hopper.

Using the Shredder Hopper

The Shredder Hopper can process hard wood branches up to1/2" in diameter and softer organic material up to 2-3/8” in diameter. You can shred most organic materials. A Guard (flap) is attached to the Hopper. You must push material past this flap (using a branch if necessary) in order to enter the main Shredding Chamber where revolving steel Hammers do the shredding.

 Due to the wide variety of materials that you can shred, and their very different physical characteristics, only feed limited

quantities of any material into the Shredder Hopper at first. Increase the amount and length of material if you find that the material is processing without any difficulty. Your judgment and operator experience is very important.

 Be sure not to overload the machine by feeding too much material into the Hopper at one time. If you hear the speed of the

Engine decreasing, stop feeding material into the machine at once. Do not resume feeding the machine until the Engine has returned to full speed.

 You can feed several small branches into the Shredder Hopper at once providing their combined diameter is less than 1/2".

Cut branches so they are shorter than (3) feet to make them more manageable.

 Allow green materials to dry before processing or alternate processing and discharging green/wet materials with dry materials

to avoid clogging. If wet materials begin to clog, shred a stick to clear the material through. The shredding capacity is 1/2" hard woody material. For clearing a clog, you can intermittently shred a larger stick up to 1" diameter.

Knife Sharpening

 You should never attempt to sharpen the Chipper Knife freehand; take the Knife to a machine shop for proper sharpening.  It is extremely important to consistently maintain the 45-degree angle for proper performance.  Excessive heat generated during the sharpening process will damage Knives and weaken the metal.  How many times a Knife can be sharpened is determined by how much material needs to be taken off to sharpen or to

compensate for dents or gouges.

 A new Chipper Knife has a 5/16" measurement between the short side bevel edge and the Knife mounting holes (Figure 28).

Knife Mounting Hole

9/32" (.28")

Short Side Beveled Edge

4. When finished, reinstall the Positive and Negative Battery Wires.

5. Reinstall the Battery and Strap.

Battery Care (Electric-Start Models)

Proper care can extend the life of a Battery. Follow these recommendations to ensure best performance and long life:

 Before charging the Battery, observe its external appearance and keep it clean and dry. Never charge or use a Battery that

shows cracks, changes shape, leaks, or is otherwise obviously damaged.

 Do not allow the Battery to run down completely before charging. Leaving the Battery discharged damages the Battery. If the

machine is not used, charge the Battery every 4 to 6 weeks. Operate the Engine for at least 45 minutes to maintain proper Battery charge.

 Store an unused Battery in a dry environment with temperatures between +40°F (5°C) and +95°F (+35°C). Make sure the

storage temperatures will never be outside of these limits. The lower the storage temperature is within the specified temperature, the better as the battery will discharge more slowly at lower temperatures.

 Do not charge an already charged Battery. In theory, you cannot overcharge our Battery with a trickle charger; however, when a

Battery is fully charged and the charger is still on, it generates heat that could be harmful to the Battery. A fully charged Battery will read 12V-13.2V with a voltmeter.

 Do not continue to crank the Engine when the Battery charge is low.  If the Battery begins to leak, avoid contact with the leaking acid. Place the damaged Battery in a plastic bag, then dispose of it

properly.

If battery acid does contact your skin or eyes, flush with cool water for at least 15 minutes and call a physician. If you ingest acid, call a physician immediately.

Charging the Battery

Operate the Engine for at least 45 minutes to maintain proper Battery charge. If the Battery loses its charge, you will need to use a trickle Charger (like the DR Battery Charger) to recharge it. The Charger should have an output of 12 volts at no more than 2 amps.

 At 1 amp, the Battery may need charging for as long as 48 hours.  At 2 amps, the Battery may need charging for as long as 24 hours.

Note: Using the recoil starter and then running the Engine will not recharge a dead or significantly discharged Battery.

To connect a Battery Charger to your DR TRIMMER/MOWER, follow the steps listed below.

1. Detach the two Battery wires going to the Battery on your DR TRIMMER/ MOWER.

2. Attach the Black (-) alligator clipped wire from the Charger Adapter to the Negative (-) terminal of the Battery, then attach the

Red (+) alligator clipped wire to the Positive (+) Battery terminal.

3. Plug the Charger into a standard wall outlet.

22 DR

9.5 Chipper Shredder

 Typically, the Battery takes between 6 and 8 hours to fully charge. Do not leave the charger on the battery longer than 24 hours

for a 2 amp charger, or 48 hours for a 1 amp charger as you could potentially damage the battery..

 You can charge the Battery many times. The Battery lasts longer if you charge it before it is fully drained. Keep it fully charged

and at room temperature when not using your DR TRIMMER/MOWER.

 If the Battery does not hold its charge for very long under normal conditions or it simply won’t hold a charge, then replace it.

You can purchase replacement Batteries directly from us.

When you are finished charging the battery, disconnect the charger from the outlet first, then disconnect the battery charger wires from the battery. If you leave the battery charger wires connected to the battery, the battery will discharge itself back into the charger.

Disposing of the Battery Responsibly

The Battery is a sealed lead-acid Battery. Recycle or dispose of it in an environmentally sound way.

 Do not dispose of a lead-acid Battery in a fire; the Battery may explode or leak.  Do not dispose of a lead-acid Battery in your regular, household trash. Law in most areas prohibits incinerating, disposing in a

landfill, or mixing a sealed lead-acid Battery with household trash.

Recycling a Used Battery

Please dispose of used batteries responsibly, according to your local hazardous materials regulations. Never throw away used batteries in your household trash.

Please dispose of your used Batteries responsibly by recycling them. Call your local Solid Waste Management District or your local waste handler to locate the collection site nearest you. Some collection sites recycle Batteries year-round; others collect them periodically.

You can also visit the Web site of Earth 911 for more information [www.earth911.com]. Once there, go to the “Find a Recycling Location” box and type “Lead-acid Batteries - Non-automotive” in the “Materials” box, and enter your zip code in the “Zip Code” box. The site will show a list of recycling centers located near you.

For a fee, you can recycle your Batteries with the International Metals Reclamation Company. Visit them at www.inmetco.com and click “Battery Recycling”; or contact them at One INMETCO Drive Ellwood City, PA 16117; Office (724) 758-5515; Fax (724) 7582845; sales@inmetco.com

Daily Checklist for the DR 9.5 Chipper Shredder

To help maintain your DR 9.5 Chipper Shredder for optimum performance, we recommend you follow this checklist each time you use your Chipper Shredder.

Before performing any maintenance procedure or inspection, stop the Engine, wait five minutes to allow all parts to cool. Disconnect the Spark Plug Wire, keeping it away from the Spark Plug.

[ ] Check the Engine oil and Fuel Tank level. [ ] Check that Engine is clean of debris. [ ] Remove any unprocessed material from the Chipper Chute and Shredder Hopper. [ ] Check the general condition of the Chipper Shredder, e.g.; nuts, bolts, welds, etc. [ ] Check Tire Pressure and wear. [ ] Check the Chipper Knife for tightness, nicks and wear. [ ] Check the Blowback Guards and Discharge Guard for wear and damage.

End of Season and Storage

Before performing any maintenance procedure or inspection, stop the Engine, wait five minutes to allow all parts to cool. Disconnect the Spark Plug Wire, keeping it away from the Spark Plug.

 Change the Engine oil.  Clean or replace the Air Filter.  Check the Chipper Knife and Hammers for nicks and wear.  Remove any debris wrapped around the Hammers/Spacers.  If your DR 9.5 Chipper Shredder will be idle for more than 30 days, we recommend using a gas stabilizer. This will prevent

sediment from gumming up the Carburetor. If there is dirt or moisture in the gas or tank, remove it by draining the tank. Completely fill the tank with fresh, unleaded gas and add the appropriate amount of stabilizer or gasoline additive. Run the Engine for a short time to allow the additive to circulate. Close the Fuel Shut-Off Valve to prevent carburetor overflow and leakage.

 Clean the exterior of the unit to remove all dirt, grease, and any other foreign material. To prevent rust, touch up painted

surfaces that have been scratched or chipped.

 Be sure all nuts, bolts, and screws are securely fastened.  Remove the Spark Plug and pour about 1 ounce of motor oil into the Cylinder hole. Replace the Plug and crank the Engine

over a couple of times using the Pull Cord. This will coat the piston and seat the valves to prevent moisture buildup.

 If possible, store the Chipper Shredder in a dry, protected place. If it is necessary to store the machine outside, after the

DR 9.5 Chipper Shredder has cooled, cover the machine with a suitable protective cover that does not retain moisture. Do not use plastic as this material cannot breathe; it also allows condensation to form, which will cause your machine to rust.
