    SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES TRAINING • Read this owner’s manual carefully in its entirety before attempting to assemble this machine. Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the machine before operation. Be completely familiar with the controls and the proper use of the machine before operating it. Keep this manual in a safe place for future and regular reference and for ordering replacement parts.

  • Page 11: Operation

    OPERATION • Never place your hands, feet, or any part of your body in the shredder hopper, chipper chute, discharge opening, or near or under any moving part while the shredder/chipper is running.
