insulated tools.
1.60 Vibrations (where applicable).
1.61 Prolonged use of hand held (operated) machines will cause the user to feel the
effects of/from vibrations. These vibrations can lead to white finger (Raynaud’s
phenomenon) or carpal tunnel syndrome. This condition reduces the ability of the
hand to feel and regulate temperature, causing numbness and heat sensations and
may cause never damage and circulatory tissue death.
1.62 Not all factors that lead to white finger disease are known, but cold weather, smoking
and other diseases that affect blood vessels and blood circulation as well as large
and long-lasting impact of shocks are considered factors in the formation of white
finger. Note the following to reduce the risk of white finger and carpal tunnel
syndrome;
1.63 Wear gloves and keep your hands warm.
1.64 Take regular breaks.
7
1.65 All of the above precautions may help reduce the risk of white finger disease but not
rule out the carpal tunnel syndrome. Long-term and regular users are therefore

NEVER place your hands, feet or any part of your body in the chipper hopper,
discharge opening, or near or under any moving part while the machine is running.
Keep area of discharge clear of people, animals, buildings, glass or anything else
that will obstruct clear discharge, causing possible injury or damage.
Wind can also change discharge direction, so be aware.
NEVER allow the an accumulation of processed material to build up in the discharge
hopper area as this will prevent proper discharge and can result in kickback from the
chipper hopper.
Keep your face and body back from the chipper hopper and discharge chute to avoid
accidental bounce back of any material.
NEVER reach with your hands, into the feed hopper past the rubber flap while the
machine is operating.
NEVER attempt to unclog the feed hopper discharge chute while the engine is
running.
Immediately shut off the engine, allow the cutting disc to come to a complete stop.
Remove the spark plug HT lead cap.
Remove the clogged material.
Inspect for damage and check for any loose parts for repair or replacement.
DO NOT tilt the machine while the engine is running.
ALWAYS stop the engine before moving the machine.
ALWAYS make sure that the engine is switched off and that the cutting disc and
engine are at a complete standstill and the spark plug HT lead cap has been
removed, before opening the cutting disc housing.
You MUST keep all combustible materials and substances away from the engine
when it is hot.
NEVER cover the machine while the exhaust is still hot.
Feed only clean materials into the machine. Foreign matter like soil, sand, gravel, grit
stones, metal etc. will damage the sharp edge of the cutting knives.
Root balls and dead wood will also dull the blades quickly.
Avoid feeding any flax or roots into the machine, the stringy materials can wrap
themselves around the rotor shaft and work their way into the bearings.
DO NOT force branches into the machine.
Allow the machine to automatically feed through.
NEVER operate the machine on slopes. Only use on level ground- risk of tipping
over if used on a slope.
DO NOT alter or adjust any part of the wood chipper or its engine that is sealed by
the manufacturer.
Only a qualified service technician may adjust parts that may increase or decrease
governed engine speed.
This wood chipper is for off road use only.
NEVER attempt to tow the machine on public highways, roads or thoroughfares.
NEVER operate this machine without the feed hopper or discharge chute properly
attached to the machine.
21
7.38 Move the machine at least 3m away from the refueling point before starting the
engine.
7.39 ALWAYS check the oil level of the engine before use.
7.40 Inspect the machine and check that all nuts and bolts are tight and well connected to
ensure the safety and reliability of this machine prior to use.
7.41 Inspect the air pressure in the tyres prior to use and pay attention to sharp objects
when moving the machine to prevent the tyres from being pierced.
Using the Machine
7.42 The wood chipper can process a wide variety of dry or green organic materials such
as branches, pruning, stalks, vines, leaves and vegetable matter.
7.43 The maximum branch diameter is: 60mm
7.44 Maximum diameters depend upon the type and hardness of the wood.
7.45 Rotate the wood as you feed it into the machine as this will improve performance.
7.46 Feed limbs and branches butt end first, leaving the bushy head on.
This helps the limb to go down the feed hopper and reduces the spinning and
bouncing of small pieces back up the feed hopper.
Some branches may require pre-cutting so that the branch will ‘self-feed’ more
efficiently.
7.47 It is advisable to process freshly cut materials as wooden branched gets very hard
and springy when dried out and become more awkward to handle by making the
knives blunt more quickly.
7.48 When operating the machine, keep a wooden stick handy approximately 30mm
diameter and 600mm long.
The stick will be useful to push in short, brushy and very leafy materials and keep the
feed hopper clear.
7.49 DO NOT force material into the machine.
If it does not chip well, the chipper knives may need sharpening or replacing or the
gap between the knives and wear plate needs adjusting.
7.50 DO NOT overload the machine by feeding too much material into the hopper at one
time.
7.51 If you hear the engine speed decreasing, immediately stop feeding material into the
machine.
DO NOT resume feeding material into the machine until the engine has returned to
normal speed.
7.52 The wood chipper can clog up with soft, wet or fibrous materials.
However, if you feed soft materials intermittently with branches, there should be no
problem as the wood chipper tends to clear out any residue left in the machine.
7.53 If any stringy material becomes wrapped around the rotor shaft.
Turn off the engine power switch and wait until the cutting disc has come to a
complete stop.
Remove the spark plug HT lead cap.
You can then remove it before it works its way into the bearing.
Take care of the sharp blades.
22
7.54
7.55
7.56
7.57
Should the wood chipper stall through overloading or clogging, turn the ignition
switch to the off position and wait until the cutting disc has completely stopped.
Remove the spark plug HT lead cap.
Open the housing cover to clear and remove all the materials from the housing.
Lock the housing cover, reinstall the spark plug HT lead cap and start the machine
again.
To remove blockages, DO NOT under any circumstances use your hands.
STOP and disable the machine then undo the chutes.
Remove the feed and discharge chutes by undoing the securing bolts.
Carefully rotate the blades in both directions until the machine is free of
materials which have become stuck.
As the discharge materials pile up, move the chipper or the material to keep the
outlet free.
DO NOT position the deflector horizontally as it will reduce the airflow, impeding
discharge and cause a blockage.
To reduce stress on the engine when wood chipping is not being performed, set the
throttle control lever to its SLOW position.
Lowering the engine speed to idle will help extend the life of the engine, as well as
conserve fuel and reduce the noise level of the machine.
DO NOT feed wood into the exit shoot.
7.58
23
WARNING
ALWAYS stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug HT lead cap BEFORE
doing any repairs or maintenance.
NEVER touch a rotating blade.
Check and maintain the oil and fuel level daily.
Frequently check the wood chipper and make sure that all deposits are removed
from the feed hopper and discharge chute.
At regular intervals, check the tightness of all nuts, bolts and screws.
If the blade hits and obstacle, check for damage and if the machine vibrates badly,
STOP the machine and take it to a service dealer.
CAUTION
ALWAYS refuel and defuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine off and cool.
Whilst carrying out any maintenance, you must wear the appropriate Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE).
CAUTION
NEVER use a pressure washer or hose to clean the wood chipper.
Water can penetrate areas of the unit and cause damage to spindles, pulleys,
bearings or the engine.
The use of pressure washers or hose pipes will result in a shortened life and reduce
serviceability.
Shut down the engine, wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop, remove
the spark plug HT lead cap and wait for the engine to cool BEFORE performing any
maintenance.
