Operation
A safe collection area should be located where children,
pets, and bystanders will not come into contact with
chipped material as it is being discharged, or be hit by
deflected pieces that may ricochet away from the collec-
tion area with great force.
When using direct discharge, check the discharge area
frequently for accumulation of material near the dis-
charge port, and make sure the material can be safely
ejected away from the unit. Letting material accumulate
directly in front of the units discharge port may cause a
jam.

Do not discharge against a fence or wall where
dis-
charged material may deflect back toward you and pos-
sibly cause injury. If a wall, fence, or other obstacle is
encountered while clearing an area, stop the unit,
change the direction of the discharge stream, and blow
debris away from the obstruction.

Variable Suction Control Adjustment
The variable suction control adjustment is located just
