8. Feeding:
a. Slowly slide the wooden material into
the feed hopper and move it into the
roller.
b. Pull on the feed lever to engage the
feed rollers to move the material into
the rotor.
c. Do not push the material - use the feed
rollers.
d. Once the rollers are engaged, the
automatic feed system will move the
material into the rotor. The automatic
feeding feature will slow the roller when
the rotor speed slows and speeds up
when the rotor speed recovers. If the
rotor speed decreases significantly, the
rollers will stop and then resume when
the rotor speed increases again.
e. Do not reach into the feed hopper and
contact the roller to be sure not to be
pulled into the machine.
f. Use a stick or branch to push any piece
of material into the rollers or rotor that
does not move on its own and stops in
the hopper. Do not take a chance with
getting your hand caught in the feed
rollers.
g. Always wear personal protective equip-
ment (PPE) whenever operating the
machine. This includes but is not limit-
ed to protective shoes with slip resistant
soles, protective goggles or face shield,
heavy gloves, hearing protection and
protective clothing.
h. Do not place metal, bottles, cans, rocks,
glass or other solid material into the
wood chipper. If something like this
gets into the machine, stop the machine
immediately for a detailed inspection.
Stop engine, remove ignition key and
place in your pocket and wait for all
moving parts to stop before inspect-
ing or unplugging. Inspect machine
for damaged or loosened parts before
resuming work.
