5.2
Operation:
! Before starting the machine, look into the feeding chamber to make certain, that it is empty
! Keep your face and body away from the feed intake opening
! Do not allow hands or any other part of the body or clothing inside the feeding chamber,
discharge chute, or near any moving part
! Keep proper balance and footing at all times. Do not overreach. Never stand at a higher
level than the base of the machine, when feeding material into it
! Always stand clear of the discharge zone when operating this machine
! When feeding material into the machine be extremely careful that pieces of metal, rocks,
bottles, cans or other foreign objects are not included
! If the cutting mechanism strikes any foreign objects or if the machine should start making
any unusual noise or vibration, shut off the power source and allow the machine to stop,
disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug ( electric unit disconnect from supply)
and take the following steps:
1.
Inspect for damage
2.
Check for and tighten any loose parts
3.
Have any damaged parts replaced or repaired with parts having equivalent specifications
! Do not allow processed material to build up in the discharge zone; this may prevent proper
discharge and can result kickback of material through the feed intake opening
! If the machine becomes clogged, shut of the power source and disconnect the spark plug
wire from the spark plug (electric unit disconnect from supply) before clearing debris. Keep
the power source clear of debris and other accumulations to prevent damage to the power
source or possible fire. Remember that operating the starting mechanism on engine
powered machines will still cause the cutting means to move
! Keep all guards and deflectors in place and in good working condition
! Do not tamper with the power source governor settings; the governor controls the safe
maximum operating speed and protects the power source and all moving parts from
damage caused by over speed. Seek authorized service if a problem exists.
! Do not transport this machine while the power source is running
! Shut off the power source and disconnect the spark plug lead (electric unit disconnect from
supply) whenever you leave the work area
! Do not tilt the machine while the power source is running
