Introduction This manual explains the proper operation of your machine. Read these instructions thoroughly before operating and maintaining the machine. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage. Consult your PERUZZO supplier, if you do not understand the instructions in this manual.

CAUTION! This symbol indicates important safety messages in this manual. When you see this symbol, be alert as to the possibility of injury to yourself or others, and carefully read the message that follows.

We recommend that you keep this manual on the machine, in the box provided. Note here the serial number and quote it in any further communications with the supplier. This is important when ordering any spares. Remember to include all numbers and letters.

Serial Number .................................... ...................... Write in the number!

This manual covers the following models. TB100 Compact Chipper/Shredder with interchangeable cassettes. Optional 18HP (electric start) Briggs and Stratton Vanguard engines TB100TM tractor mounted version with gearbox and po wer take-off (pto) shaft - version with the hydraulic engine. Accept where otherwise stated alternative paragraphs and illustrations for engine driven and tractor mount versions are marked (a), (b) and (c), respectively. The information in this manual is correct at the time of publication. However, in the course of development, changes to the machine specification are inevitable. Should you find any information vary from the machine in your possession, please contact your PERUZZO dealer for up to date information. The manual may contain standard and optional features, and is neither to be construed, nor used as a machine specification. Purpose

CAUTION! This machine is designed solely for chipping wood and must not be used for any other purpose. The machine should be operated by the trained operators only, who are familiar with the content of this instruction manual. It is potentially hazardous to fit in, or use any parts other than genuine PERUZZO parts. The company disclaims any and all liability for the consequences of such use, which also effectively voids the machine warranty.
