PERFORMANCE OPERATION
Feed larger trees up to 3 inches in diameter slowly into the tubular feed chute allowing
the cutter wheel to regain speed. Shoving a tree into the cutter wheel will stall the
machine and damage the cutters or drive shaft.
Feed twigs, leaves, and branches up to 3/8 inch diameter into the top hopper. Wear
gloves, as the cutter will grab the branches and pull them into the machine and from
your hands. NEVER PLACE HANDS INTO THE TOP FEEDER. To clear the top feeder,
turn the key off, remove it, unplug the spark plug. Be safe, the cutters on this machine
are high speed and very sharp.
