1.
Shredder Hopper (Inlet)
The Shredder
Hopper
(see Photo 3-2
for
a closeup)
is located at the
top
of
the unit and is the opening into
which
all materials
to
be shredded should be fed. A
rubber retainer flap is secured to the hopper. Loose,
bulky material must be pushed past the retainer flap
with
your
Leaf Tamper in
order
to enter the main
chip-
per/shredder chamber where revolving steel cutting
blades
do
the shredding (see "Danger" above). The
retainer flap
is
an
important feature -
it
prevents kick-
back
of
materials! Do Not Use Your Equipment Unless
The Rubber Retainer Flap
is
Securely Fastened. Most
organic materials can be shredded. Section 4 provides
a list of materials.
