- Garden waste such as fresh foliage, creepers and vines contain a lot of moisture, this can result in
material sticking to the cutter head. Such material should be allowed to dry for a few days before
being fed into the shredder.
- Always check material before shredding, ensure it does not contain any stones or nails as this may
severely damage the shredder.
- Material that contains dirt will rapidly blunt the cutting blades and should be avoided.
- For roots, always remove dirt before chipping.
- When chipping large material, process one branch at a time.
- During the chipping process, place the larger side first (trunk side before branch) in order to get
good chipping.
5.4 – Discharge Chute Cover
The discharge chute has an adjustable cover, this is used to direct where the
chippings are expelled.
To adjust the discharge chute cover:
1. Loosen, do not remove, the four bolts.
2. Adjust up or down as required.
3. When adjustment is completed, firmly tighten bolts.
Note: in the upper most position the chippings will fall further away.
5.5- Clearing Jammed Blades
If the blades become jammed, this is usually caused by attempting to shred material that is too large.
CAUTION! Blades are sharp, handle with care. It is recommended to use gardening or safety gloves when
handling or cleaning the blades.
1. Stop the engine. Remove the spark plug.
2. Remove the hopper (C) and discharge chute (B).
Ensure both are free of any obstructions.
3. To allow access to the blade shaft remove the two nuts
from the blade shaft cover (14)
4. Rotate the blade shaft (g) as required using a 17mm
spanner (not supplied).
5. Carefully clean out the cutting and discharge area.
Ensure that all debris is removed to prevent the blades (h) from clogging.
The discharge area should be free of all organic matter.
6. Once the blades (h) are completely clean refit blade shaft cover (14), hopper (C)
and discharge chute (B).
5.6- Replacing Blades
The blades supplied with the wood chipper are re-sharpened and will become blunt over a period of time.
Additional blades & bolts can be obtained as spare parts.
Always replace both blades at the same time.
Ensure the blades are kept in good condition and correct clearance is maintained.
CAUTION! Blades are sharp, handle with care. It is recommended to use safety gloves when handling or
cleaning the blades.
