At the end of the working season or when the wood chipper will not be used
for a long period, it is a good practice to clean off any dirt or dust that may
have accumulated on the wood chipper and any of the moving parts.
• Store the wood chipper in an area where children normally do not play.
Secure by using blocks and supports.
• Clean as necessary.
• Check knives for wear and sharpen or replace if necessary.
• Inspect wood chipper for loose, damaged or worn parts and adjust or
replace as needed.
• Check all safety labels. Replace any worn or damaged labels.
• Store unit inside if possible for longer life. Alternatively, cover with a tarp to
reduce exposure and prevent weather damage.
• Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to prevent rust.
• Apply an anti-rust lubricant to the knives to prevent rust. 3-in-1 or WD-40
spray oil is a good choice.
