Never push the equipment beyond its design limits. If it
will not do what you want with reasonable ease or
within the time required, assume you have the wrong
size or type of chipper for the job.

Keep the equipment clean, you will find this less of a
chore if you clean up regularly rather than wait until the
end of the hire period. When not in use, store the
equipment somewhere clean, dry and safe from thieves
and unauthorised users.
Allow the chipper to clear the last bits of matter then
switch the unit OFF as described in GENERAL SAFETY.
Remove the collection bag and give the unit a final clean,
ready for return to your local HSS Hire.
... have you been trained
The law requires that personnel using work equipment have
received adequate training and must be competent when
using the equipment within the workplace.
