- Having put materials in the loading chute/between loading rolls, release the
loaded material immediately and keep a certain distance from the chute.
- Do not load materials with diameters exceeding 160 mm and 3 m in length. Do
not load wooden boards with thickness more than 60 mm.
- When working, never lean over the loading chute and never pull out wooden
materials, already loaded, from the chute.
- Do not load materials with diameters exceeding 160 mm. Speed of loading
should correspond with quantity and characteristics of the material to be
loaded.
- If loaded materials are spreading with risks of catch holding of attendant's
dress being drawn in the loading chute then it is necessary to prepare such
materials accordingly (trimming, cutting).
- Pay special attention to thorny materials, such as acacia and roses, which may
easily catch your sleeves.
- Be careful while loading since materials may unexpectedly move in unwished
directions.
- In case of two attendants it is necessary to make simple signals clear before
working. During operation it is not easy to make any agreements because of
operating noise.
- Observe the working area. If any person, children or animals approach while
chipping, then stop working immediately.
- Be aware that there is a certain time period required between loading, chipping
and final ejection of chips.
- As far as possible load the chipper evenly, adapt loading speed accordingly
and keep continuous chipping.
- While loading, stand aside the loading chute.
- While loading short materials, throw them in the chute and push them forward
between the loading rolls by means of a wooden stick or a board, more than
160 cm long, to push materials between the loading rolls.
- Never use metal objects. They could cause serious damage of the loading rolls
and blades.
- When finishing the work, first wait for emptying of the loading chute.
