Operation
WARNING:
The operation of any
chipper shredder can result in foreign
objects being thrown into the eyes,
which can damage your eyes severely.
Always wear the safety glasses provided
with this unit or eye shields before
chipping or shredding and while
performing any adjustments or repairs.
Starting Engine
Refer to the engine operator's manual for engine
starting instructions.
Shredding
WARNING:
Never operate the chipper
shredder without chipper chute lowered
into the operating position.
Yard waste such as leaves and pine needles can be
placed in the hopper for shredding. After material
has been processed by the shredder blade and flails,
it will be forced out of the chute deflector, and, if
attached, into a debris collection bag.
Observe the following guidelines when shredding
yard debris:
•
Never attempt to shred material other than
normal yard debris (leaves, twigs, pine cones,
etc.).
•
Avoid shredding fibrous plants such as tomato
vines until they are thoroughly dried out.
Fresh vines do not shred well and tend to wrap
themselves around the impeller and flails.
•
Place reasonable amounts of debris into the
hopper at a time. Do not overload the hopper.
•
Allow the material in the hopper to be drawn
into the blades and shredded before adding
additional debris to the hopper. Failure to due
so may result in a clogged hopper, clogged
chute deflector or a stalled engine.
•
Avoid placing twigs longer than 24 inches into
the hopper. Twigs longer than 24 inches may
result in a clogged hopper.
IMPORTANT:
Never place branches with a
diameter greater than 1/2-inch in the hopper.
Doing so can result in serious damage to the
unit's shredder blade, flails or impeller.
Clearing the Hopper
Should the hopper become clogged with debris
during operation, proceed as follows:
1.
Grasp the handle with both hands and gently
agitate the chipper shredder to help loosen
debris, drawing it into the impeller.
If the clog does not clear, proceed as follows:
1.
Stop engine.
2.
Use your hands to remove any debris found
near the top of the hopper.
3.
Use a branch (or other available device, i.e.
broomstick) to dislodge debris located toward
the base of the hopper.
4.
Restart engine.
NOTE:
If you're unable to pull the starter
rope as a result of accumulated debris near
the impeller, follow instructions under the
heading Cleaning the Reduction Chamber in
the "Maintenance & Adjustments" section of
this manual.

Chipping
WARNING:
shredder without chipper chute lowered
into the operating position.
Branches up to two inches (model series CS2210) or
three inches (model series CS3310) in diameter can
be fed into the chipper chute. Observe the following
guidelines when chipping branches:
•
Keep both hands firmly on the branch as you
feed it into the chipper chute.
•
Never feed more than one branch into the
chipper chute at a time.
•
Never feed anything other than branches (or
wood) into the chipper chute.
•
Apply intermittent pressure (force, in short
pulses) while feeding larger branches into the
chipper chute, to avoid bogging or stalling the
engine.
IMPORTANT:
diameter greater than two (2) inches (Model
Series CS2210) or three (3) inches (model series
CS3310) into the chipper chute. Doing so can
result in serious damage to your unit's chipper
blades, flails or impeller.
NOTE:
For best performance, always operate
the unit with sharp chipper blades. If a
noticeable loss in performance is encountered
while chipping branches, the chipper blades
should be replaced.
Emptying the Bag
1.
Stop engine.
2.
Squeeze the locking buckle to release the
bag's drawstrap before loosening it from the
chute deflector. See Figure 3-2.
3.
Empty the bag and reattach to the chute
deflector opening. Refer to the "Assembly and
Setup" section of this manual.
