Description

Sunjoe Electric Silent Wood Chipper + Shredder (CJ603E). OK, it's not exactly silent and it doesn't "shred" as much as produce big-ish chips. But it is powerful and does come with not one...but two cup holders :)

Features of this item include:

• Two cup holders (sized to fit a beer can, ahem)
• 15 Amp motor
• Chips (and kind of shreds) sticks up to 1.5 inches in diameter
• Did we mention it holds beer cans??
• Hooks on the hopper to hold a bag to collect wood chips
• Reverse button
• Safety (two button) system

This item also comes with a DIM (Did It Myself) push paddle to help feed the chipper and a League of Women Voters bag for collecting chipped debris.

Instructions

• The counterplate can be adjusted using the counterplate adjusting knob.  This adjustment controls, generally, how big the wood gets chunked up. Turning the knob clockwise will produce smaller chunks. However, librarians have already adjusted the counterplate to create the smallest possible wood chunks possible–so it probably doesn't need adjusting (Ask a librarian for more details!) 

• If the blades and motor jam on a stick, stop the motor, then push the reverse button and restart.
