Chipper shredders are relatively low-maintenance, compared to other types of yard tools. First of all, it’s important to know whether you will have enough space to store them. The work you do with a chipper shredder is seasonal, so it should be properly stored during the rest of the year.
Electric chipper shredders require little to no maintenance, and that is why they are so practical. These products only need electricity, so all you have to do is make sure that the cord has no tears before you plug it in.
Gas-powered chipper shredders, on the other hand, require more maintenance, like any other gas-powered tool or vehicle. You have to check the oil and change it regularly. The inside blades become dull over time and they need to be either sharpened or replaced. If you want to clean the chute, use dry rags and make sure the product is turned off.
