It actually took me a minute to realize that the "handle" to be used to move the device was the two metal metal cut-outs in the top chute. Not cut on one side and folded over, just cut ou, t and uncomfortably sharp at that.
Otherwise after some relatively simple assembly (including fetching one nut that got away from me and required removing the blade cover to get to), the machine ran fine. It is a tool not a panacea, and you need to use it properly, but after three separate occasions now of about an hour each, I am happy with its performance.
You should also note that anything you feed in via the top chute (meant for smaller diameter debris) gets shredded /peeled rather than chipped into small pieces. I find myself tossing into it the small branches I break off from the main pieces which I am feeding into the main tube.
I also ended up getting a small covered fire pit to burn the many chunks too large to fit into that main (2.9 inch diameter max) tube). That completed my small backyard (over a dozen full size spruce trees, plus numerous mulberry) cleanup setup.
Final pro tip, don't store the instructions (not that you will need them...much) in the top chute and then forget they are there before starting the machine the second time.
