Yard waste such as leaves and pine needles can be 
vacuumed up through the nozzle for shredding. After 
material has been shredded by the flail blades on the 
impeller assembly, it will be discharged into catcher bag 
or through blower chute. Do not attempt to shred or chip 
any material other than vegetation found in a normal yard 
(i.e. branches, leaves, twigs, etc.) Avoid fibrous plants 
such as tomato vines until they are thoroughly dried out. 
Materials such as stalks or heavy branches up to 1-1/2” in 
diameter may be fed into the chipper chute.

WARNING: Do not attempt to shred, 
chip, or vacuum any material larger 
than specified on the machine or in this 
manual. Personal injury or damage to 
the machine could result.

IMPORTANT

: The flail screen is located inside the 

housing in the discharge area. If the flail screen becomes 
clogged, remove and clean as instructed in the Mainte-
nance section on page 16. For best performance, it is 
also important to keep the chipper blade sharp. 

WARNING: Do not at any time make 
any adjustments without first stopping 
engine and disconnecting spark plug 
wire.
