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 1.9”(49mm) 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

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.

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.
