  If your Forest-Master chipper's petrol engine won't start, try these checks: * Ensure the ignition switch is in the “ON” position. * Make sure the fuel shut-off valve is open. * Use fresh, clean fuel, replacing old fuel and using a stabilizer if storing fuel longer than 30 days. * Inspect the spark plug; clean or replace it if dirty or cracked. If oily, clear the cylinder by pulling the recoil cord with a rag over the plug hole, then clean and reinsert the plug. * Verify sufficient engine oil, topping up if necessary. * Clean any dirt from the carburettor, including the jet. * Check the drum for blockages if the pull start is stuck.

  If the electric motor of your Forest-Master chipper won’t start: * Ensure the plug is properly connected to a power outlet. * If using an extension cable, make sure it's a 2.5mm wire with a maximum length of 10m to avoid power loss. * Check the fuse in the plug and replace it if it has blown. * Inspect the power cable, plug, and switch for any damage and replace if necessary. * If the motor is too hot, it may have overheated. Wait for it to cool down before trying again, as it is protected by a thermistor.

  Kristie MejiaAug 22, 2025
  If your Forest-Master chipper has insufficient drawing through of branches or bad chipping performance: * Check if the knives are blunt or worn and sharpen or replace them if needed. * Ensure the branches are not too thick; the maximum diameter should be 50mm. * Verify the space between the knives and the base plate is correct. Adjust the bolts on the knives to fit, and manually rotate the drum to ensure it turns smoothly.
