GENERAL SAFETY RULES AND PRECAUTIONS

WARNING!

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in

electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas

invite accidents.

2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create

SKU 95091 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353 PAGE 2

sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control. Provide barriers or shields as needed. Children should never be allowed in the work area.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

4. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and

grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or

break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.

5. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is

wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.

6. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,

ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

7. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering power

equipment will increase the risk of electric shock.

8. Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to pull the Plug

from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. Damaged

Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.

9. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord

marked “W-A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

10. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when

operating the Wood Shaper. Do not use the tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while

operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

11. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.

Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

12. Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the Power Switch is off before plugging

in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the Power Switch, or plugging in power tools with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.

13. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on. A

key or a wrench that is left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

14. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper

footing and balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

15. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Always wear ANSI approved safety impact goggles, heavy duty work gloves, and a dust mask or respirator when using this product. ANSI approved hearing protection must also be used.

TOOL USE AND CARE

16. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool

will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

17. Do not use the power tool if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off. Any

tool that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must be replaced.

18. Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making any

adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the unit accidentally.

19. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools

are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

20. Maintain tools with care. Properly maintained tools are less likely to malfunction

and are easier to control. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “Do not use” until repaired.

21. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and

any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have

the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly

maintained tools.

22. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your

model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool.

SERVICE

23. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service

or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

24. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow

instructions in the

“Inspection, Maintenance, And Cleaning”

section of this

manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions

may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND PRECAUTIONS

1. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Chipper/Shredder. These carry

important information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.

2. Make sure the Chipper/Shredder is located on a flat, level, sturdy surface

capable of supporting the weight of the Chipper/Shredder and any additional tools and equipment. Do not use on a sloped surface.

3. Industrial applications must follow OSHA guidelines.

4. Never stand on the Chipper/Shredder. Serious injury could result if the

machine is tipped.

5. Never leave the Chipper/Shredder unattended when it is running. Turn off

the Power Switch and unplug the tool before leaving.

6. Be extremely cautious of the rotating Blade in the Chipper/Shredder.

Never allow your hands, fingers, or any other part of your body to enter the Chipper/Shredder hopper.

7. Never place your hands, fingers, feet, or any other part of your body close

to the Discharge Opening while the Chipper/Shredder is in operation.

8. Do not look into the Hopper or Discharge Opening when the machine is

running.

9. Never allow metal, stone, glass, or other foreign objects to be fed into the

REV 07f

Chipper/Shredder. Use a stick to push the tree limbs, leaves, etc. into the feed Hopper.

10. Make sure the plastic cover on the Hopper is closed when the machine is

running.

11. Always feed large branches slowly into the machine. Branches larger than

1-1/4” diameter should never be fed into the machine.

12. Do not allow processed material to build up in the discharge area. This may

prevent proper discharge and can result in kickback of material through the feed Hopper.

13. If the machine becomes clogged, immediately turn off the Power Switch of

the unit. Unplug the unit from its electrical outlet. Wait until the Chipper/ Shredder comes to a complete stop. Then clear the machine of the clogged

material.

14. Do not allow children and other unauthorized people to handle or play with

the Chipper/Shredder. Never allow people or animals in the work area.

15. Do not force the Chipper/Shredder. This tool will do the work better and safer

at the speed and capacity for which it was designed.

16. WARNING! People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s)

before use. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.

17. WARNING! The warnings and precautions discussed in this manual cannot

cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
