GENERAL OPERATION

• Read this owner’s manual carefully in its entirety

before attempting to assemble this machine.

Read, understand, and follow all instructions on

the machine before operation. Be completely

familiar with the controls and the proper use of

the machine before operating it. Keep this

manual in a safe place for future and regular

reference and for ordering replacement parts.

• Your chipper is a powerful tool, not a plaything.

Therefore, exercise extreme caution at all times.

Your unit has been designed to chip. Do not use

it for any other purpose.

• Never allow children under the age 16 to operate

the unit. Children 16 years or older should only

operate the unit under close parental supervision.

Only responsible individuals who are familiar with

these rules of safe operation should be allowed

to use your unit.

• Always wear safety glasses or safety goggles,

during operation and while performing an

adjustment or repair, to protect eyes from foreign

objects that may be thrown from the machine.

Be sure your glasses fit properly.

• Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and close

fitting slacks and shirt. Shirt and slacks that

cover the arms and legs and steel-toed shoes

are recommended. Secure hair above shoulders

and do not wear loose clothes or jewelry that can

be caught in moving parts. Never operate a unit

in bare feet, sandals or sneakers. Wear gloves

when feeding material into the chipper chute. Be

sure your gloves fit properly and do not have

loose cuffs or drawstrings.

• Do not operate while under the use of alcohol,

drugs, or medication. A clear mind is essential

for safety.

• Do not allow anyone who is not alert to operate

this machine.

• The machine should only be operated on a level

surface. Never operate your unit on a slippery,

wet, muddy, or icy surface.

• Keep the area of operation clear of all persons,

particularly small children and pets. Stop the

engine when they are in the vicinity of the unit.

Keep work area clean and clear of branches or

obstacles which could cause you to stumble or

fall.

• Never place your hands, feet, or any part of your

body in the chipper chute, discharge or near any

moving part while the engine is running. Keep

clear of the discharge opening at all times. If it

becomes necessary to push material into the

chipper chute, use a small diameter stick, NOT

YOUR HANDS.

• Keep your face and body back from chipper

chute to avoid accidental bounce back of any

material.

• Do not attempt to chip material larger than

specified in the manual. Personal injury or

damage to the machine could result.

• If it is necessary for any reason to unclog the

feed intake or discharge openings or to inspect or

repair the machine where a moving part can

come in contact with your body or clothing, stop

the machine and allow it to cool. Disconnect the

spark plug before attempting to unclog, inspect or

repair.

• When feeding material into this equipment, be

extremely careful that pieces of metal, rocks, or

other foreign objects are not included. Personal

injury or damage to the machine could result.

• Do not allow an accumulation of processed

material to build-up in the discharge area as this

will prevent proper discharge and can result in

kick-back from the chipper chute.

• If the cutting mechanism strikes a foreign object

or if your machine should start making an

unusual noise or vibration, immediately stop the

engine and allow the machine to come to a

complete stop. Disconnect the spark plug wire

and move it away from the spark plug.

Take the following steps:

a. Inspect for damage.

b. Repair or replace any damaged parts.

c. Check for any loose parts and tighten to assure

continued safe operation.

• Muffler and engine become hot and can cause a

severe burn. Do not touch.

• Do not allow any part of the engine, especially

around the cooling fans and muffler, to become

clogged with leaves, oil, grease or any other

combustible material.

• Do not operate engine if air cleaner or cover over

carburetor air-intake is removed, except for

adjustment. Removal of such parts could create

a fire hazard.

• Keep all other guards and safety devices in place

and operating properly.

• Do not use the unit with the chipper hopper

removed.

• Only use accessories approved for this machine

by the manufacturer. Read, understand, and

follow all the instructions provided with the

approved accessory.
