INTENDED CONDITIONS OF USE
While thanking you for your trust in our products, our CHIPPER Mod. CIP 1000 in
particular, we would remind you that the use of this machine is representative of a
style of life, where the environment protection is a basic principle and the recycling
practice takes the place of an indiscriminate disposal of waste.
Before starting to chip the trimmings and the wooden matters in general,
separate the materials according to the size in order to favour their inlet into the
chipper mouth.
Avoid triturating unsuitable materials as plastics or printed paper.
The chipper is intended for operating outdoor; of course, in case of bad
weather conditions, avoid using the machine and store it in a suitable and
sheltered place.

SECTION A: GENERAL INFORMATION
CAUTION
Green Technik undertakes no responsibility in case any safety guards or
loading hoppers installed on the machine are changed or removed, as well
as in case of non-compliance with the obligations and/or prohibitions
expressly specified in this paragraph and, in general, of any of the rules and
provisions set forth in this Handbook.

Page 6
PROHIBITED CONDITIONS OF USE
Working materials other than specified in this Handbook could give rise to serious
damages to the machine, not to say of the risks of injury to the operator. Besides
this, it is expressly prohibited to put other materials into the machine as e.g. ballast
and rock pieces, section irons, glass, plastic materials, parts of wooden boxes with
nails or iron wires left therein, trunks and/or branches having diameter larger than
specified on the transfer affixed near the mouth of every loading hopper.
This machine has been designed and manufactured to work on flat surfaces,
compact and level as much as possible; therefore, avoid to work on steep slopes,
friable or damp grounds or however under any condition which could cause the
machine to tilt during the operation or susceptible to be prejudicial to its stability.
Whenever the machine has to be moved, the engine must be compulsorily switched
off or, in case the machine is power supplied, the main cable must be plugged out,
afterwards waiting until all the machine moving parts stand still.
The same is for when the machine has to be tilted or lifted for cleaning or
adjusting purposes or any rotating element, possibly jammed on the machine, has
to be released.
Furthermore, it is strictly prohibited to open the rubber gate placed at the inlet to
the chipper hopper, to visually check for no material inside, until the machine is quite
still.
To prevent the operator from getting in touch with any moving element of the
machine, some fixed or movable safety guards have been installed, and the upper
and side loading hoppers are such in length as to avoid hands from going up to the
rotating parts.

GENERAL REMARKS
This machine has been designed and manufactured to meet the users' hobby or for
semiprofessional use ; however, the machine should not be operated by persons
aged less than 18 years.
Should the user detect any operating trouble, malfunction or however a condition
that might be dangerous for himself or other people, he must immediately stop the
machine by pressing the stop push-button placed on the electric motor or, in case
the machine is equipped with explosion engine, on the right hand of the engine, and
avoid to carry out any intervention he is not familiar with, but promptly inform a
supervisor or call for the Green Technik's service center.
It is up to the operator to do his utmost to keep the machine clean and in
full working order.
To this purpose, the machine should be carefully cleaned after every working run;
cleaning must be carried out with machine still and stable and possibly in co-
operation with an assistant.
When cleaning is carried out using pressurized air or water, the operator must wear
safety goggles and a safety faceplate and no people must stand by around the
machine, to avoid running the risk of being affected by jets of materials or dust. To
prevent the hammer assembly from oxidizing during long times of inactivity, we
recommend to carefully lubricate all its parts with oil or other oxidation inhibitors.
The use of flammable fluids during the cleaning operations is prohibited.
From time to time check the state of labels and warning tags and replace them, when
required.
Once the machine cleaning is complete, check for no worn, damaged or loose parts.
Should this be the case, and if the detected trouble cannot be solved on your own,
promptly call for a service man or inform the Green Technik Service Center.

Page 8
Special attention should be paid to the serviceability of the power connecting cable
as well as of other perishable parts installed on the machine. Besides, check for no
leakage of oil, fuel or other harmful matters.
Should this be the case, the operator must absolutely avoid to start the machine
until the problem is removed.
Furthermore, any loose objects that are not integral to the machine (as tools left
on the ground after servicing, personal objects, gasoline can used to fill up the petrol
tank, etc...) must be removed from the machine or its surrounding area.
The operator, his assistant and the maintenance man shall wear the following:
a) Safety goggles and faceplates to protect from splinters; when working in the
presence of a dense dust, wearing suitable masks is recommended.
b) Safety gloves.
c) Ear protectors (sound-proofing ear-plugs).
Besides, they must wear suitable working cloths, free from flying parts, and
avoid to wear jewels (chains or bracelets) or other things which could be pinched
in the machine moving elements; long haired people must wear suitable hair-
nets to prevent hair from getting caught.
Before starting to work, check the machine is standing stable, loading hoppers
are free from material and the ejecting mouth has been adjusted and so turned that
any people possibly passing before the machine is not hit on.
No safety device or guard must be removed from the machine unless absolutely
required for repairing and/or servicing purposes.
Safeties must be immediately replaced as soon as the reasons for their removal
have ceased to exist and however always before starting up the machine.
Every 10 working hours, check the locking bolts, loading hoppers, enclosures and
guarding plates are tightened; tighten them promptly, if required.
Never leave the machine running without watching over it; any displacement must
be carried out only with machine still and after awaiting that all of the machine
rotating parts are quite still.

The chipper Mod. CIP 1000 is a machine intended for professional use; owing to its
simplicity of use and control, it may be operated by anyone, provided he is aware of
the risks he may possibly run during the work; therefore, we strongly recommend to
forbid the use of these machines to either under-age people or them who have not
been properly trained or who have not previously read all the instructions included in
this Handbook.
Before starting the work:
- make sure the ground where the chipper has to be placed is firm, non friable or
steep, but suitable to insure a stable positioning of the machine during the work;
- check for no debris, branches or any other kind of material left in the hopper or in
the chipping device;
- check for enough fuel in the tank;
- by means of a dip stick, check the oil level is as stated in the "Instructions for Use
and Maintenance" of the engine;
- remove all the materials not strictly required for working, oil or fuel cans in
particular, from the working site;-wear personal safety means, as required (ea
- plugs, safety goggles or faceplates, safety gloves and also suitable masks for
protection when the working place is particularly dusty or when you intend to work
with dry earth);-Clutch the handle of the starting cable, pull it out slowly until it
offers a certain resistance, then give it a sudden tug by opposing with the other
hand the machine moving, under the action of the cable pull. The handle has not
to be left suddenly, rather its movement has to be followed in order to let the cable
wind up correctly;
- after starting up, shift the throttle lever to its working position, then await approx.
30 seconds until the chipper has picked up.
