SAFE WORKING
OPERATOR'S PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
Chainsaw safety helmet fitted
with visor and recommended
ear defenders to the
appropriate specifications
Loose fit,
Heavy-duty gloves.
Close fitting heavy-duty
non-snag clothing
Face mask if
appropriate.
DO NOT wear rings,
bracelets, watches, jewellery
or any other items that could
be caught in the material and
draw you into the chipper.
BASIC WOODCHIPPING SAFETY
The operator should be aware of the following points:
MAINTAIN A SAFETY EXCLUSION ZONE around the chipper of at least 10 metres for the
general public or employees without adequate protection. - Use hazard tape to identify this
working area and keep it clear from debris build up. Chips should be ejected away from any
area the general public have access to.
HAZARDOUS MATERIAL - Some species of trees and bushes are poisonous. The chipping
action can produce vapour, spray and dust that can irritate the skin. This may lead to
respiratory problems or even cause serious poisoning. Check the material to be chipped before
you start. Avoid confined spaces and use a facemask if necessary.
BE AWARE when the chipper is processing material that is an awkward shape. The material
can move from side to side in the funnel with great force. If the material extends beyond the
funnel the brash may push you to one side causing danger. Badly twisted brash should be
trimmed before being chipped to avoid thrashing in the feed funnel.
BE AWARE that the chipper can eject chips out of the feed funnel with considerable force.
Always wear full head and face protection.
WARNING
The Chipper will feed material through on its own. To do this, it relies on
sharp blades on the chipper rotor. To keep the
blades sharp, only feed the machine with clean brushwood.
DO NOT put muddy / dirty wood, roots, potted plants, bricks,
stones or metal into the chipper.

ALWAYS check (visually) for fluid leaks.
ALWAYS take regular breaks. Wearing personal
protective equipment for long periods can be

ALWAYS keep hands, feet and clothing out of
feed opening, discharge and moving parts.
ALWAYS use the next piece of material or a push
stick to push in short pieces. Under no
circumstances should you reach into the funnel.
ALWAYS keep the operating area clear of people,
animals and children.
ALWAYS keep the operating area clear from
debris build up.
ALWAYS keep clear of the chip discharge tube.
Foreign objects may be ejected with great force.

SAFE TRANSPORTATION
THE TW PTO 100G chipper may be transported as a unit or with the feed funnel removed.
TAKE care when loading the TW PTO 100G as it is 268 kg in weight.
STRAP the chipper down firmly before beginning a journey.
ENSURE no debris or water is trapped in the rotor housing that may spill during transit.
DELIVERY
All Timberwolf TW PTO 100G machines have a full pre - delivery inspection before leaving the factory
and are ready to use. Read and understand this instruction manual before attempting to operate the
Chipper. In particular, read pages 5 -7 which contain important health and safety information and advice.
OPERATOR’S PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
CHAINSAW safety helmet fitted with visor
and recommended ear defenders to an
appropriate specification.
HEAVY-DUTY gloves.
CLOSE - FITTING heavy-duty non-snag clothing.
SAFETY footwear.
FACE MASK (if appropriate).
See page 5 for more detailed information.
HITCHING UP
The first time a tractor is fitted to the chipper the
correct length of tow beam needs to be set. The
length corresponds to the exact propeller shaft that is
to be used. Adjustment is made underneath the
chipper. Remove the M12 bolt from underneath the
chassis (1) and slide the bar until the desired length
is reached. Replace the bolt and tighten.
With mechanical equipment that is to be hitched to a
tractor PTO an emergency stop lanyard should be
fitted to the tractor. This allows the tractor to be
stopped from behind should the need arise, for
example in an emergency. The lanyard is provided
and should be attached to the relevant equipment.

The PTO100G is fitted with a pin type hitch. It is
suitable for use with a range of compact tractor
fittings. The chipper tow head is fitted onto the
tractor coupling and a steel pin (1) dropped
through the hole. This should be retained with an
R clip (2) for security.
The front leg that keeps the chipper level and
provides support for the propeller shaft is
movable. After hitching to a tractor and fitting the
prop shaft the bolt (3) can be removed and the leg
swung horizontal. The bolt is then refitted in hole
shown (4).
