Learning how and when to use each function will increase the value of the Chipper/Shredder in your gardening tasks. 13 Figure 9. Chipping of Tree Limbs Using Y our Chipper/Shredder W A[...]

TIPS FOR BETTER CHIPPING DO’ s 1. Prune tree limbs and large branches to limit their size to the maximum diameter allowed. Pruning tree limbs and branches close to the main portion of the limb or branch will make feeding into the chipper cone easier, and will help you maintain control as the material is drawn into the chipper block. 2. Manually r[...]

15 PROPER TECHNIQUES FOR SHREDDING Leaves and Lightweight Organic Matter Place material to be shredded directly into the shredder hopper. Avoid large amounts of moist material that can cause shredded matter to build up in the discharge chute and prevent proper discharge. Alternate the processing of dry and moist materials to help prevent clogging o[...]

16 TIPS FOR BETTER SHREDDING DO’ s 1. Process materials at a feeding rate that allows the rotor to keep turning at a consistently high rate of speed. 2. Alternate wet and dry material to prevent the dis- charge chute from becoming plugged. Dry and moist organic material including leaves, plants, flow- ers, fruits, and vegetables can all be shredd[...]
