Always wear safety glasses, hearing protection, and leather gloves when operating this machine. Loose hair and clothing could get caught in machinery and cause serious personal injury. Keep loose clothing and long hair away from moving machinery. Chipping/Shredding Understand and follow all of the safety precautions listed in SECTION 1: SAFETY before operation. This chipper/shredder is intended for mulching garden and pruning waste such as green branches, twigs, brush, vines, and long grasses. DO NOT use this chipper/shredder for chipping construction debris, plastic, paper products, rope or twine, or any material that may contain metal. Note: Remove any nails, rope, twine, or rocks that may be imbedded in roots, before inserting material into the chipper/shredder. To operate the chipper/shredder: 1. Place the chipper/shredder on a flat, firm, dirt or grass surface and point the outlet in a safe direction. 2. Check the oil and gas levels before starting the motor. 3. Loosen the wing nuts on the discharge chute deflector so that it swings freely, then place the bag over the chute and tie it securely in place. 4. Make sure the hopper and funnel are empty before starting the engine. If there is material in the hopper or funnel, the pull start cord may stop suddenly causing the chipper/shredder to fall over, or causing injury to your hand or arm. 5. Put on eye and ear protection, and gloves, start the chipper/shredder as instructed in the Briggs & Stratton motor manual, then set the throttle to fast. 6. Stand to the side of the hopper and make sure you have a stable stance and firm footing. NOTICE If you have never used this type of machine or equipment before, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you read books, trade magazines, or get formal training before beginning any projects. Regardless of the content in this section, Grizzly Industrial will not be held liable for accidents caused by lack of training. NOTICE This chipper/shredder does not have oil in the motor when shipped. Add oil before operating the chipper/shredder, or the motor will seize. -11 G0594 Large Chipper/Shredder To shred twigs, leaves, and brush: To chip branches: 1. Slowly pour the material into the hopper. DO NOT try to stuff too much material in at one time or the machine will jam. 2. Use a 1" diameter branch to push the material into the hopper if necessary (see Figure 9). DO NOT use your hands! Figure 9.Shredding leaves. Note: Move the throttle to the idle position, or turn the chipper/shredder OFF, when not actively shredding or chipping. 3. Turn OFF the machine (see the Briggs & Stratton motor manual for instructions), allow all moving parts to completely stop, and disconnect the spark plug wire before moving the machine, emptying the bag, unclogging the inlets or outlets, filling the gas tank, or performing maintenance and repairs. Shredding Tips: • Feed material into the chipper/shredder slowly. If the motor begins to bog down, you are feeding too fast. • Roots and dirty material will dull or damage the blades. • Remove the chips often. Allowing the chips to pile up to the outlet will cause the outlet to clog. • Avoid shredding wet leaves or brush to reduce clogging. If you must shred wet material, alternate wet and dry material. -12 1. Stand to the side of the hopper and make sure you have a stable stance and firm footing. 2. Remove twigs and smaller branches from the branch if they might catch on the edges of the funnel and prevent the branch from going in. 3. Place branches up to 3" diameter into the funnel, thick end first, and allow the blades to draw the branch into the funnel (see Figure 10). Figure 10.Chipping branches. 4. When finished chipping, turn OFF the machine, allow all moving parts to come to a complete stop, and disconnect the spark plug wire before moving the machine, emptying the bag, unclogging the inlets or outlets, filling the gas tank, or performing maintenance and repairs. Chipping Tips: • DO NOT feed material in excess of 3" diameter into the funnel. Large branches wil...
