- In case of fire or breakdown, stop chipping immediately.
- In case of fire use foam extinguishers only.
- If you cannot damp the fire down yourself, call for a fire brigade.
- If an attending person gets caught by rotating parts or loaded materials, stop
the loading rolls by pushing the safety frame (STOP position). Stop working
and go on only if the attending person is uninjured and fully concentrated.
- If the discharge duct gets clogged, stop loading immediately and reverse the
loading rolls by pushing the safety frame (position REVERS). Turn the PTO
shaft off and having all rotary parts stopped (after about 1-2 min) use an
elastic rod and try to release the clogged material in the end piece of the
discharge duct. Having released clogging materials, try to turn on the chipper
again. If it is not possible yet, hinge away the upper hood part and try to
remove all materials by hand (the PTO shaft must be OFF). Be aware, the
chipping wheel must be blocked properly.
- To release the discharge duct clogged, do it always at standstill only.

Chipping Device
Loading chute
The loading chute is made of welded steel plates consisting of two parts: fixed
and hinged one. The hinged part serves as an extension of the chute with a safety
frame and is protected by a terminal switch. This frame, if pushed by an attending
person or branchy materials being caught, turns the loading rolls off. The chute
itself, shaped as a square pyramid, is decreased in width toward the loading rolls
and in this way loaded materials are pressed together.
