• Noise – Observe any local noise-prevention regulations.
• Cooling vents – Check the discharge area periodically
after stopping the mulcher + shredder to ensure that
debris does not build up and clog the cooling vents.
mWARNING! Never reach into the funnel until the
mulcher + shredder has come to a complete stop and is
unplugged. The cutting line will continue to rotate for a few
seconds after the unit is turned off.
Electrical Safety
• Never carry the mulcher + shredder by the cord or yank
the cord to disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep the
cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
• Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection should
be equipped on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for
this electric mulcher + shredder. Receptacles are available
with built-in GFCI protection and may be used for this
measure of safety.
To prevent electric shock, use only with an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use, such as SW, SOW, STW, STOW,
SJTW or SJTOW. Before use, check that the extension
cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord,
make sure to use one thick enough to carry the current
draw of the product. An undersized cord will cause a drop
in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

Electric shock may cause SEVERE INJURY or
DEATH. Heed these warnings:
• Do not allow any part of the mulcher + shredder to
make contact with water while it is in operation. If
the appliance becomes wet while turned off, wipe
dry before starting.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance
has a polarized plug (i.e. one blade is wider

• The plug will only fit into a polarized extension cord one
way. If the plug does not fit fully into the extension cord,
reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain a
correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension
cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet. The
extension cord plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the wall
outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install the proper wall
outlet. Do not modify the plug, extension cord receptacle,
or extension cord plug in any way.
• To prevent the appliance cord from disconnecting from the
extension cord during operation, make a knot with the two
cords as shown in Table 1.
