WORKING PROCESS 5
There are hopper and discharge port on the machine, drawing materials in hopper when it is m operation,
the materials through hopper to get into inner crusher room. Due to the blades of cutter wheel in inner
crusher room are made a relative movement in high speed and cut the materials during the movement.
After cutting, materials are discharged through the discharge port.
www.ks-power.de/en |5

The engine is supplied without oil and fuel.
IMPORTANT!
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS 6
If there are many uncut materials, blades may be needed to sharpen or intervals are needed to make
adjustment. It is easy to cause injury due to blades are sharp enough. Sharpen or adjust blades should go
to indicate maintenance point. The recommendation of blade intervals is 1-2min.
Choice of chipping material: the fresh cut trees branches and straws can be chipped directly. Due to dier-
ent hardness and moisture content, the engine may stop midway or the machine body may shake during
the working, that5s normal. Our recommend max. chipping capacity point to the annual plant, such as
trees, bamboo and straws. If chipping the perennial plant, you should shorten the chipping diameter and
lessen the material to feeding hopper . The ideal chipping for this machine is suitable for fresh cut with
80% moisture content plant. During the chipping process, you should obey the rule: Big side rst, small
side later, the trunk rst, the branch later. In order to get good chipping, it’s better put branches and leaves
together with the the bulk or segment of big trees. Block and short materials are not allowed to be chipped
separately, for the safety of the operator and the good of the blades, they are better to be crushed with
branches or straw.
