Operating Instructions - EarthWise LM71313 El Manual Del Propietario

1. Starting and stopping
Starting: (See Fig. 7a)
Make sure the switch is in the off position. Plug the leaf mulcher into a suitable outlet using an
approved extension cord if necessary. To turn on, insert one finger into the slot and pull the switch
outwards.
Stopping: (See Fig. 7b)
To turn off, use your thumb to push the switch inwards.
WARNING: The motor will continue running for a while after the unit is turned off.

2. Loading Your Machine (See Fig 8)
•
With the unit running，feed double handfuls of dry leaves or single
handful of wet leaves into the funnel (Fig. 8).
•
Allow the machine sufficient time to shred the load completely and
regain speed before inserting the next handful.
NOTE: Do not overload the machine by letting it labor at low speed; this
may cause the motor to stop.
WARNING: Wear protective gloves while loading the machine. Keep your
hands away from the spinning head and the cutting lines when loading the
machine.
WARNING: Filling the mulcher with unshredded material at a rate faster than
the machine can handle may result in permanent damage to the motor. Always
wear protective glasses and a dust mask.
3. Adjusting the Control Dial (See Fig 9)
The control dial regulates the particle size and speed at which material
passes through the unit. When the control dial is set in the COARSE
position, material will process through the unit faster, but will yield a larger
particle size than if the dial were set to the FINE position. The FINE position
setting will discharge the material slower, but will yield the smallest particle
reduction ratio (up to 16 : 1). MEDIUM position can be available to serve
your purpose as needed. For best results, material should be shredded
when dry.
