• Ensure rst-aid equipment is available on the work site.
• Always have two trained personnel dressed in safety gear on the work site at all times.
Proper preparation and organization of the brush and branches will provide an efcient chipping process, as well as creating safe working
conditions and reducing the possibility of unexpected maintenance expenses.
To prepare the wood and brush:
• Cut the lead end of the brush at an angle. This will help ease the feed rollers open and facilitate feeding.
• The chipper is designed to process clean wood. Keep this area clear of debris to prevent entanglements during the chipping process.
• Set up some simple hand signals with the ground crew. Simple instructions can be understood from a safe distance during chipping
• When trimming trees during the chipping operation, move the tree to the far right or left of the machine
• Load trees into the chipper from the opposite side of the machine from where you are trimming
Foreign material (metal, stones, glass) in the chipper will
cause damage and potentially shatter the cutting blades
resulting in property damage, serious injury or death.
Vines left on the wood may hide foreign material resulting
in equipment damage, serious injury or death. Always
remove vines from the material to be chipped. Do not leave
vines in the work area or place vines in the chipper.

Lifting heavy objects may cause serious back injury. Always use
