CHIPPINGWOOD
1 Wood with a diameter of 3-3/4” can be fed through the Chipper chute.
2 Put the thickest end of the branch into the chute. Side branches must be bent to fit or lopped off. Try
to find the right feed pressure being careful that it is not too much! Do not over feed the unit. Pull back
when engine slows down and wait for its speed to resume before continuing to feed wood. The
engine must maintain its speed under load in order to keep the centrifugal clutch fully engaged.
Proper feed pressure and engine speed are important for the life of the unit.
3 NEITHER PULL OUT NOR PUSH IN the short pieces with your hands. Use the next log or branch to
feed the short pieces through the Chipper each time. Short pieces sometimes feed themselves
through the chipper but very often they are thrown out.
DANGER
DO NOT PUT HANDS DOWN INTO THE CHUTE WHEN THE UNIT IS RUNNING.
WARNING
Do not go on the discharge side of the unit or stand directly in front of the intake chute when
feeding the Chipper. Keep to one side of the chute.
