Keep all guards and deflectors working condition, before starting chipper. The fuel can be controlled.
While Chipper is being used, ensure the following practises are adhered to: 1. Make sure the plastic cover in upper hopper (1) is closed when your shredder is running. Flying chips are very hazardous. 2. Do not use hands or metal tools to push material into the feed hopper. 3. Keep your face and body away from the upper hopper opening. 4. Do not allow body parts or clothing inside the upper hopper, discharge chute, or near other rotating parts. 5. Do not touch the muffler whle chipper is in operation as it will be hot & can cause burns. 6. Keep proper balance and footing at all times. Do not overreach and never stand at a higher level than the base of the machine when feeding material into it. 7. Check if there is abnormal noise, smoke or shaking of machine. If so, please turn off engine immediately and solve the problem. Inspect for damage; check for and tighten any loose parts and ensure damaged parts are replaced or repaired before continuing to operate the chipper. 8. The chipper will chip branches up to 75mm in diameter. Branches with large diameters (closer to and up to 75mm) will need to be fed comparatively slowly than branches with a small diameter. 9. Do not allow processed material to build up in the discharge zone; this may interfer with ongoing discharge and can result in kickback of material back through the feed intake openings. 10. If the machine becomes clogged, turn off the chipper before clearing the debris. Keep the engine clean. 11. Never put something on the cover of the hopper in case it falls into the machine. 12. Make sure the opening of the chipping tube (4) is always covered, while not at work, in case children place objects into the tube. This can cause trouble in restarting the machine. 13. Do not move or tilt the machine while the engine is running. 14. Turn off the machine & turn off the fuel tap before transporting the machine. 15. To move the chipper, firmly hold the handles (2) with both hands, step on the rear wheel axle (6) with one foot, and lean the machine backward. Pay attention to keeping control of the machine & walk slowly into position.
Chipping Branches - Using the chipping tube (4) or side chute. This chipper is designed to chip branches up to 75mm in diameter. 1. Start engine & allow engine to gain optimum revs - slide rev lever to rabbit. 2. Feed long stems and long branches (ie. shrub and tree branches) into the side chipping tube for chipping by the rotating blades. 3. Shoots and branches may have to be trimmed from the main branch to allow the branch to fit into the chipping tube. 4. When feeding branches listen to the machine & watch chips exit from the bottom of the discharge chute (8). Thicker branches will take longer and need to be fed be more slowly than thin ones. 5. Short stubs of branches may need to be pushed through the chipper tube with the next branch (never use your hand). 6. Push the last branch you are chipping for the day all the way inside the tube with a tool (ie. wooden stick), and ensure it has been completely chipped before turning off the machine. Leaving unchipped branches in the chipping tube can cause problems when next starting the chipper. 7. Cover the side chipping tube once you have finished chipping, with cover provided. Shredding Leaves and Grass - Using the Upper Hopper (1). This Chipper is designed to shred leaves, twigs & foliage up to 1cm thick. 1. Start the engine and allow engine to gain optimum revs - slide rev lever to rabbit. IMPORTANT: 2. Feed leavesREAD and thinCAREFULLY stalks (nothing thicker than USE 1cm) into the hopper.
