STARTING TO CHIP
Check that the chipper is running smoothly.
Stand to one side of the feed hopper.
Proceed to feed material into the feed hopper.
CHIPPING
Wood up to 3 inch in diameter can be fed into the feed hopper. Enter it into the hopper but tend first. Release the
material before it engages the rotor. Some pieces of wood may move around significantly whilst being chipped. The
wood will be drawn into the cutting blade quite quickly, be ready for this to happen. Stand well clear. A piece of
wood which is too tough or too large for the chipper will slow the engine down. When this happens it is possible to
hold back the branches that are being chipped and allow the engine to regain its speed again.
If a piece of wood gets stuck in the hopper and it cannot be chipped due to its size or shape, it will need to be
removed.
Stop the engine and wait for moving parts to stop before removing the material.
Trim the branch until it is a
suitable shape for the chipper to accept.
BLOCKAGES
Always be aware that what you are putting into the chipper must come
out. If the chips stop coming out of the discharge tube but the chipper
is taking material in STOP IMMEDIATELY. Continuing to feed
material into a blocked machine may cause damage and will make it
difficult to clear. If the chipper becomes blocked, proceed as follows
：
Stop the engine, make sure the machine is off.
Wearing gloves, reach into the rotor from hopper and scoop out
the wood etc. causing the blockage.
Wearing gloves, open check window(curved board)to clean the
debris, And Rotate the blade system clockwise and clean the

gain. Close the check window.
