nearby area. Always take the following precautions when using this machine:
WWW.AGROTKINDUSTRIAL.COM

WARNING
A.
Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other
people, their property, and themselves.
B.
Always wear protective goggles or safety glasses with side shields while using the Wood Chipper
to protect your eyes from possible thrown debris.
C.
Avoid wearing loose clothing or jewelry, which can catch on moving parts.
D.
We recommend wearing gloves while using the Wood Chipper. Be sure your gloves fit properly and
do not have loose cuffs or drawstrings.
E.
Wear shoes with non-slip treads when using your Wood Chipper. If you have safety shoes, we
recommend wearing them. Do not use the machine while barefoot or wearing open sandals.
F.
Wear long pants while operating the Wood Chipper.
G.
Keep bystanders at least 50 feet away from your work area at all times. Stop the engine when
another person or pet approaches.
Safety for Children and Pets
WARNING
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children and pets. Children are
often attracted to the machine and the chipping activity. Never assume that children will remain where
you last saw them. Always follow these precautions:
A.
Keep children and pets at least 50 feet from the working area and ensure they are under the
watchful care of a responsible adult.
B.
Be alert and turn the machine off if children or pets enter the work area.
C.
Never allow children to operate the Wood Chipper.
Safety with Gasoline - Powered Machines
Gasoline is a highly flammable liquid. Gasoline also gives off flammable vapor that can be easily ignited
and cause a fire or explosion. Never overlook the hazards of gasoline. Always follow these precautions:
A.
Never run the engine in an enclosed area or without proper ventilation as the exhaust from the
engine contains carbon monoxide, which is an odorless, tasteless, and a deadly poisonous gas.
B.
Store all fuel and oil in containers specifically designed and approved for this purpose and keep
away from heat and open flame, and out of the reach of children.
C.
Replace rubber fuel lines and grommets when worn or damaged and after 5 years of use.
