Sun Joe CJ603E 15-Amp 1.7-Inch Cutting Diameter Electric Silent Wood Chipper/Shredder, green

sturdy, handles 1.25 easily ", while exerting effort, does not struggle with 1.5" (rated at 1.7"). It took a few days for these supple bush branches to dry. Personally, I'd rather not even attempt 1.51.7 "Because I want my instruments to last a long time, I aim to utilise them less than they can. It is a chipper, not a leaf mulcher, therefore it won't mulch leaves. 1. To assemble it (it only requires six nuts and is simple), attach the legs to the machine first. Then, attach the wheels and axel assembly (2 nuts), and last, secure the leg nuts. 2. Verify that your extension cord has the recommended rating of 14g for 50' and 12g for 100'. Although I didn't experience any problems, I've seen videos of people daisy-chaining three lamp extension cords, and that is just too much resistance for a 15 amp motor, so you'll heat up the cables (you shouldn't notice any heat with a 14/12g cord), plus you won't get the machine's full output. 3. It is incredibly robust when put together correctly and placed on level ground, even when feeding in a 1.5" branch. 4. The 603 replaces the dual blades of the 602 with a "squirrel cage"-style cutter with approximately 12 cutting edges. 5. Pay attention to "exit." You can cause a jam if you let your bag or chip holder to become so full that the chips back up into the appliance. For any motor or cutting wheel, that is not a good thing. There isn't much room to fill because the distance between the exit and the cutting blades is only a few inches. 6. *I'll cut things to make feeding into the machine easier the next time I prune bushes and trees, which will save me a lot of time. 7. The bag they include with the 603 is constructed of a durable material that is excellent for the job. To keep yourself balanced when carrying them, it would be a good idea to have two bags.
