The assembly instructions were a bit confusing as some of the items on the inventory list were already installed on the unit, the numbers on the Components list (Figure 3) Carton Contents (Figure 4) and Assembly instructions (figure 5) did not correlate with each other, and the assembly instructions #7 said to attach the shaft to the motor housing but you need to complete the other side of the axel before doing so. The operation of the chipper/shredder was good on the test sticks and branches I used. I'm looking forward to making my own mulch with this machine.
I bought this a couple weeks ago and I am having so much fun chipping and shredding my yard waste and adding to my compost pile. Does a great job for a small machine!
