***Disclaimer*** This is not to make fun of anyone so all you "DoGooders" slow down! This is a training tool.

Please remember to allow your hopper to run dry once a month or so or this will happen. The fines over a period of years had built up and jammed the auger. No damage was done but did need the cover plate removed to clean out the problem.

Carry on!

I get that out of my stash of NEWP's right now, usually after a couple of bags. I am just vacuuming out the hopper at the end of the week, and the clean out. I also started pouring the bags into my 18inch bucket and sifting the pellets a little before scooping them, in this way the sawdust ends up in the bottom of the bucket, not the hopper.
 
If that is what you get after a couple bags I would be going back to the dealer and screaming. Deal or no deal that is not right.
