SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PETROL WOOD
CHIPPERS & SHREDDERS
NOTE: READ THROUGH THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE
STARTING ANY POWER PRODUCT.
Machinery presents serious injury hazards to untrained users.
• ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES WHEN OPERATING
MACHINERY: Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant
lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
• ALWAYS WEAR A RESPIRATOR WHEN OPERATING
MACHINERY THAT PRODUCES DUST: Wood dust is a
carcinogen and can cause cancer and severe respiratory
illnesses.
• ALWAYS USE HEARING PROTECTION WHEN OPERATING
MACHINERY: Machinery noise can cause permanent hearing
damage.
• WEAR PROPER APPAREL: DO NOT wear loose clothing,
gloves, neckties, rings, or jewellery which may get caught in
moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair
and non-slip footwear.
• NEVER OPERATE MACHINERY WHEN TIRED, OR UNDER
THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL: Be alert at all
times when running machinery at all times.
• ONLY ALLOW TRAINED AND PROPERLY SUPERVISED
PERSONNEL TO OPERATE MACHINERY: Make sure
operation instructions are safe and clearly understood.
• KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY: Keep all children
and visitors a safe distance from the work area.
• MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF: Use padlocks, master
switches, and remove machinery keys.
• NEVER LEAVE WHILE THE MACHINE IS RUNNING: Turn
power OFF and allow all moving parts to come to a complete
stop before leaving machine unattended.
• DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS: DO NOT
use machinery in damp, wet locations, or where any flammable
or noxious fumes may exist.
• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL LIT: Clutter and dark
shadows may cause accidents.
• USE A GROUNDED EXTENSION CORD RATED FOR THE
MACHINE AMPERAGE: Undersized cords overheat and lose
power. Replace extension cords if they become damaged.
DO NOT use extension cords for 220V machinery.

SERVICING MACHINERY: Make sure switch is in the OFF
position before reconnecting.
• MAINTAIN MACHINERY WITH CARE: Keep blades sharp and
clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: READ THROUGH THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE
STARTING ANY POWER PRODUCTS.
Machinery presents serious injury hazards to untrained users.
• HAND SAFETY: DO NOT put hands or other body parts into
hopper, funnel, or outlet while the blades are turning. The
chipper/shredder can drag you into the blade, causing
• amputation of fingers, hands or other body parts. DO NOT touch
the exhaust during or immediately after operation to prevent
burns.
• CLOTHING: DO NOT wear loose clothing, neckties, scarves, or
jewellery which may get caught in moving parts. DO NOT wear
clothing or gloves with pull ties or straps. This type of clothing
could get tangled with material that is being shredded, pulling
you into the chipper/shredder.
• OPERATING LOCATION: Set up the chipper/shredder on firm,
level, grass or dirt. DO NOT set up the chipper/shredder on
gravel, asphalt, concrete, or stone. The chips are expelled from
the machine with enough force to ricochet off of hard surfaces
and cause serious injury. DO NOT set up the chipper/shredder
in a location where sparks or heat from the motor could cause a
fire.
• SECURE FOOTING: Placing the chipper/shredder on a slope or
slippery surface may cause the operator to fall into the machine,
causing burns from the motor, or an amputation if an arm
• accidentally goes into the hopper. Wear non-slip, closed toed
shoes or boots to maintain secure footing.
• JAMS AND CLOGGING: Turn the chipper/shredder OFF, allow
all moving parts to come to a complete stop, and disconnect the
spark plug wire before attempting to free a jam or clog.
• FEEDING MATERIAL: Hold branches and brush loosely, and
allow the chipper/shredder to draw the material in. The machine
sometimes will draw material in very quickly and your hand may
be drawn in if you are holding tightly. If the blades hit a hard
object, or if the machine begins to make an unusual noise or
vibration, immediately shut the chipper/shredder OFF.
• TURN OFF CHIPPER/SHREDDER: Turn OFF the machine,
allow all moving parts to come to a complete stop, and
disconnect the spark plug wire before moving the machine,
emptying the bag, unclogging the inlets or outlets, filling the fuel
tank, or performing maintenance and repairs.
• STARTING THE CHIPPER/SHREDDER: Make sure the hopper
and funnel are empty when starting the machine. The pull start
cord may stop suddenly causing the chipper/shredder to fall over
or injure your hand or arm.
• CLEANING CHIPPER/SHREDDER: Allow the engine to cool off,
then brush dust and chip build-up off of the engine to prevent fire
or engine overheating.
• SECURE WORKPIECE: Use clamps or a vise to hold the
workpiece when practical. A secured workpiece protects your
hands and frees both hands to operate the machine.
• DO NOT OVERREACH: Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
• MANY MACHINES WILL EJECT THE WORKPIECE TOWARD
THE OPERATOR: Know and avoid conditions that cause the
workpiece to “kickback.”
• ALWAYS LOCK MOBILE BASES (IF USED) BEFORE
OPERATING MACHINERY.
• BE AWARE THAT CERTAIN WOODS MAY CAUSE AN
ALLERGIC REACTION: In people and animals, especially
when exposed to fine dust. Make sure you know what type of
wood dust you will be exposed to and always wear an approved
respirator.
WARNING
Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this
machine. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity
or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and
caution to lessen the possibility of operator injury. If normal safety
precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury
may occur.
CAUTION
No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every environment
is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your
individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery with
caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious
personal injury, damage to equipment, or poor work results.
