SAFETY INFORMATION
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION.
A yard chipper can throw foreign objects into your eyes which could cause
permanent eye damage.
ALWAYS wear safety goggles (not glasses). Ordinary eyeglasses have only
impact-resistant lenses—they are NOT safety goggles.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR YARD CHIPPERS
• Be thoroughly familiar with the operation of the chipper before initial use.
• NEVER put your hands into the hopper. Always use the push stick supplied with your chipper
to push items into the hopper.
• DO NOT try to force objects that exceed the recommended diameter and capacity of the
chipper: 1-3/8" (35 mm).
• AVOID ACCIDENTAL START-UPS. Be sure switch is OFF when plugging in.
• DO NOT FORCE THE CH
the rate for which it was designed.
• Before put ting obje cts into the hopper, remove any stones, debris, or objects that could
damage the blades.
• During operation, ensure that there are no other persons or animals within a radius of 10 feet.
Stop using the machine while people, especially children, or pets, are nearby.
• NEVER reach under the chipper until it has
rotate for a time after being switched OFF.
• MAK E all adjustments with the power OFF and the chipper disconnected from the power
source.
• ALWAYS use acce ss or ies provide d or re comm en ded by t he manu facturer. Do not use

DOUBLE INSULATED (See Figure 1)
W A R N I N G
TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARDS, FIRE HAZARDS, OR DAMAGE TO THE TOOL, USE
PROPER CIRCUIT PROTECTION. YOUR CHIPPER IS WIRED AT THE FACTORY FOR 12O-V
OPERATION. CONNECT TO 120-V, 15-Amp CIRCUIT AND USE A 15-Amp CIRCUIT BREAKER.
TO AVOID SHOCK OR FIRE WHEN THE POWER CORD IS WORN, CUT, OR DAMAGED IN
ANYWAY, REPLACE IT IMMEDIATELY.
This yard chipper has a plug that looks like the one shown in Fig. 1. The yard chipper is double
insulated to provide a dual thickness of insulation between you and the tool’s electrical system.
All exposed metal parts are insulated.
W A R N I N G
TO AVOID INJURY, WHEN SERVICING THE CHIPPER USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT
PARTS.
W A R N I N G
DOUBLE INSULATION DOES NOT TAKE THE PLACE OF NORMAL SAFETY PRECAUTION
WHEN OPERATING THIS TOOL.
W A R N I N G

GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one of heavy enough gauge to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below
shows the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
MINIMUM GAUGE FOR EXTENSION CORDS (AWG)
(WHEN USING 120 V ONLY)
Amp Rating Total Length of Cord in Feet (meters)
More Than Not More Than 25' (7.6 m) 50' (15 m) 100' (30.4 m) 150' (45.7 m)
0 6 18 16 16 14
6 10 18 16 14 12
10 12 16 16 14 12
12 16 14 12 Not Recommended
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged
extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Keep your extension
cords away from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be less than 12-gauge cord
and should be protected with a 15-amp time delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the
power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF position and the electric current is rated the same
as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the
motor.
W A R N I N G
THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM
ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
