KEEP HANDS, FEET, FACE
AND
CLOTHING
OUT
OF SHREDDER
INLET
AND

INLET,
AND
AWAY
FROM DISCHARGE AREA
AT
ALL
TIMES.
How
To Start:
1. Move the Carburetor Choke Control Lever
to
FULL
CHOKE
Position (see Photo 3-9) if the engine is
being started "cold."
2.
Grip
the Starter rope handle securely (Photo 3-11).
Pull the rope
out
slowly
until you feel resistance.
Then
quickly
pull the starter rope
firmly
all the way
out
to start the engine. Several attempts may be
needed.
3.
Once the engine starts, let it warm
for
a few seconds
with the
Choke
Lever in "Full" position. Then move
the
choke
to
"Partial" position
for
a few seconds -
finally move the choke
to
"No
Choke." As soon
as
the
engine starts, the
cylinder
assembly
holding
the
shredderflail cutterblades and the chipperdisc hold-
ing the
chipper
blade start
to
revolve.
In
a few
seconds the blades will be at full speed - 3600 RPM!
How
To Stop:
4.
STOP- Move the
Shut-Off
Tab up against the spark
plug and hold
it
there until the engine has stopped
completely. LISTEN - Remove hearing protection.
Be
certain
that
all
moving
parts have
stopped
completely.
How
To Use The Chipper
After
the engine is started, the chipper blade will
rotate at 3600 revolutions per minute.
Be
sure to wear
approved safety goggles, gloves and hearing protection.
Position yourself directly in
front
of
and a couple
of
feet awayfrom the Chipper Feed Chute (see Photo 4-2).
The
chipper
will process branches from
%"
to
2"
in
diameter. To reduce branches to small chips,
simply
grip
one end
of
a branch
firmly
with both hands and
feed the other end
of
the branch
into
the
chipper
chute.
Keep the branch away from
your
body
to avoid any
bounceback, and
don't
overreach. Hold the branch
firmly
so you can
control
the rate
of
feed at all times
(see Photos 4-3 and 4-4).
All branches should be evenly rotated when fed into
the chipper. This will help
to
prevent the bark from
turning
into long strips
or
strings that can get tangled
around the internal drive shaft. Removing tangles is
time-consuming as the machine must be shut off, so
please rotate branches.
(Photo 4-2) Feed material
into
chipper
at
proper
angle,
and
rotate branches.
Do
not
overload the chipper.
(Photo
4-3)
Hold
branches firmly; feed in smoothly.
