Never allow children under 16 years of age to operate this
machine. Children 16 and over should read and understand
the instructions and safe operation practices in this manual
and on the machine and be trained and supervised by an
adult.
Always wear safety glasses or safety goggles during

5.
Never allow adults to operate this machine without proper
instruction.
Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and close-fitting
slacks and shirts. Loose fitting clothes or jewelry can be
caught in movable parts. Never operate this machine

If the impeller strikes a foreign object or if your machine
should start making an unusual noise or vibration,
immediately shut the engine off. Allow the impeller to
come to a complete stop. Disconnect the spark plug wire,
ground it against the engine and perform the following
steps:
Safe Handling of Gasoline:
To avoid personal injury or property damage use extreme care
in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the
vapors are explosive. Serious personal injury can occur when
gasoline is spilled on yourself or your clothes which can ignite.
Wash your skin and change clothes immediately.
a. Inspect for damage.
1.
Use only an approved gasoline container.
b. Repair or replace any damaged parts.
2.
Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer
bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the
ground away from your vehicle before filling.
c. Check for any loose parts and tighten to assure
continued safe operation.
5.
Do not allow an accumulation of processed material to
build up in the discharge area. This can prevent proper
discharge and result in kickback of material through the
feed opening.
3.
When practical, remove gas-powered equipment from
the truck or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not
possible, then refuel such equipment on a trailer with a
portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser
nozzle.
6.
7.
Do not attempt to shred or chip material larger than
specified on the machine or in this manual. Personal injury
or machine damage could result.
4.
5.
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank or
container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do
not use a nozzle lock-open device.
Never attempt to unclog either the feed intake or discharge
opening while the engine is running. Shut the engine off,
wait until all moving parts have stopped, disconnect the
spark plug wire and ground it against the engine before
clearing debris.
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of
ignition.
6.
7.
Never fuel machine indoors.
Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine is hot or
running. Allow engine to cool at least two minutes before
refueling.
8.
9.
Never operate without vacuum bag and discharge chute
properly attached to the machine. Never empty or change
vacuum bag while the engine is running. Zippered end
of vacuum bag must be kept closed at all times during
operation.
8.
9.
Never over fill fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than ½
inch below bottom of filler neck to allow space for fuel
expansion.
Never operate without either the inlet nozzle or optional
hose attachment (if applicable) properly attached to
the machine. Never attempt to attach or change either
attachment while the engine is running.
Replace gasoline cap and tighten securely.
10. If gasoline is spilled, wipe it off the engine and equipment.
Move unit to another area. Wait 5 minutes before starting
the engine.
10. Keep all guards, deflectors and safety devices in place and
operating properly.
11. To reduce fire hazards, keep machine free of grass, leaves,
or other debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage and
remove any fuel soaked debris.
11. Keep your face and body back and to the side of the
chipper chute while feeding material into the machine to
avoid accidental kickback injuries.
12. Never store the machine or fuel container inside where
there is an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a water
heater, space heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other gas
appliances.
12. Never operate this machine without good visibility or light.
Always be sure of your footing and keep a firm hold on the
handles.
13. Do not operate this machine on a paved, gravel or non-
Operation
level surface.

Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, stop the engine
and make certain the impeller and all moving parts have
stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground it
