Attention:
When putting a new machine into operation you must check the tension of
all blade bolts during the first five working hours. Should this warning not be
headed, a blade may become loose. Serious consequential damage may occur in
relation to your new machine and the operator may be in grave danger of suffer-
ing injuries or death may even be the result. ELIET can, as a consequence, not be
held liable for the consequences of this negligence. Any claims on the warranty
will also no longer apply.

5. Operator safety warnings
ELIET cannot foresee every situation in which a risk or danger can occur. The warnings in this
user manual, the labels on the machine are therefore, not comprehensive. Even though this will
be minimal, a residue risk will always be present. If you apply a working method, action or tech-
nique as the user that is not explicitly recommended by ELIET, ensure in any case that this will
not represent a danger for bystanders.
A number of symbols (“For your information”, “Caution”, “Warning”) are used in this user manual
to provide additional information and to highlight dangers.
5.1 For your information
For your information :
This symbol is used to draw your attention to specific information and/or ac-
tions, or to denote where you can find additional information relating to the
subject.
5.2 Caution
Caution :
This notice identifies safe usage habits. This is done to prevent incorrect actions
that can result in personal injury or damage to the machine.
5.3 Warning
Warning :
This notice is used to warn you about extreme danger that you must be aware of
in these specific circumstances. Thus remain alert, in order to ensure your own
safety.
These safety measures can only warn and not remove the danger. Using common sense and
observing the guidelines contained in this manual are essential to prevent accidents.

original replacement parts and their ordering code can be consulted online by

6.3 Set-up
The machine can be found in two set-ups.
1. Working set-up
The wheels and the tubular frame rest
on the floor. The housing (the upper
part) of the machine is positioned
straight in the extension of the tubular
frame and the line markings on the
hinge and the housing match. The
collection box has been slid into the
housing and can be found within the
tubular frame. The sliding lock of the collection box has been pressed down.
This is the only set-up with which the machine may be operated to chip or be
moved.
2. Storage set-up
A. The housing (upper part of the machine) rests on the ground
and the tubular frame with the wheels are turned around the
hinged point so that the housing is enclosed by it. The collection
box has been removed from the machine.
B. The wheels and the tubular frame rest on the ground and the
housing (upper part of the machine) has been turned forward so
that the loading hopper rests on the ground. The collection box
has been removed from the machine.
