SAFETY OPERATION
It should be remembered that the only rea-
son for the infeed chute or shroud is to pro-
tect the operator from becoming entangled in
the feed wheel. It has absolutely no bearing
on the utility or operation of the machine.
Again, the single most important chipper
safety rule is:
NEVER BREAK THE PLANE OF THE IN-
FEED CHUTE WITH YOUR HANDS AND
NEVER, FOR ANY REASON ATTEMPT TO
KICK BRUSH IN WITH YOUR FEET!
To safely feed short material into your chip
-
per, place the feed system in the neutral po-
sition, lay the short material on top of longer
material and engage the feed system.
You must never attempt to feed handfuls of
twigs, leaves, and other material that has
been raked up. There is no way to get it into
the chipper without violating safety rules.
This material must be placed in the chip van
or chip pile directly. Not only is it dangerous
to feed the material, but it can contain rocks,
metal, and other material that can damage
the chipper.
Brush and limbs must always be fed butt end
rst.
At least two people must be on the job site at
all times. No one must ever operate the chip-
per alone.
