OPERATING TIPS
1. Before starting the garden shredder, make
sure that the hopper inlet is empty.
2. Keep your face and body away from the
opening.
3. Do not allow hands or any other part of the
body or clothing near the hopper or
discharge chute.
4. Never put your hands into the hopper while
the garden shredder is running. Always
use the paddle supplied with your shredder
to push items into the hopper.
5. Do not try to force objects larger than the
recommended diameter of 1-3/4 in. into the
hopper.
6. Keep proper balance and footing at all
times. Do not overreach. Never stand at a
higher level than the base of the tool when
feeding material into garden shredder.
7. Always stand clear of the discharge zone
when operating the garden shredder. Never
reach under the shredder until it has come
to a complete stop.
8. When feeding material into the garden
shredder be careful to remove pieces
of metal, rocks, bottles, cans, cloth or other
foreign objects that may damage the
blades.
9 If the cutting mechanism strikes a foreign
object or if the garden shredder should start
making any unusual noise or vibration, turn
it off and allow it to come to a complete
stop. Disconnect from power supply and
take the following steps:
-inspect for damage;
-check for and tighten any loose parts;
-repair or replace any damaged parts
WARNING: Never reach into the hopper until
the garden shredder has come to a complete
stop and is unplugged. The blades will
continue to rotate for a few seconds after the
shredder is turned off.
10. Do not allow processed material to build up
in the discharge zone; this may prevent
proper discharge and can result in
kickback of material through the hopper.
WARNING: Never put your hands near the
discharge chute. Failure to heed the warning
could result in serious injury.
11. If the shredder becomes clogged, turn it off
and disconnect from power supply before
clearing debris. Keep the power source
clear of debris and other accumulations to
prevent damage to the power source.
Remember that the starting mechanism on
engine powered tools will cause the cutting
mechanism to move.
12. Keep all guards and deflectors in place
and in good working condition.
13. Do not operate the garden shredder on a
paved or gravel surface where ejected
material could cause injury.
14. Turn off the garden shredder and
disconnect it from the power supply
whenever you leave the work area.
15. Do not tilt the garden shredder while it
is running.
16. Never reach into the hopper until the
garden shredder has come to a complete
stop and has been disconnected from the
power supply.
