Chainsaw safety helmet (EN 397) fitted with mesh visor (EN 1731) and ear defenders (EN 352).•
Work gloves with elasticated wrist.•
Steel toe cap safety boots (EN 345-1).•
Close fitting heavy-duty non-snag clothing. High-visibility clothing (EN 471) if risk assessment identifies the need.•
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.
OPERATOR'S PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT PPE
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 face mask 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.
Always work on the side of the machine furthest from any local danger, e.g. not road side.•
Never leave the chipper unattended when running. Machines must be supervised at all times when in use.•
In the event of an accident, stop the machine, remove the key and call the emergency services immediately.•
THE CHIPPER WILL FEED MATERIAL THROUGH ON ITS OWN. TO DO THIS, IT
RELIES ON SHARP BLADES BOTH ON THE FEED ROLLERS AND 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.
WARNING

SAFE WORKING

C190-0013 11.04.2019
Always stop the chipper engine before making any adjustments, refuelling or cleaning.•
Always check the rotor has stopped rotating and remove the chipper ignition key before maintenance of any kind, or•
whenever the machine is to be left unattended. If in doubt, look through the in-feed funnel to see if rotor is still
moving.
Always check the machine is well supported and cannot move. If working on an incline, position on solid ground,•
across the slope.
Always operate the chipper with the engine set to maximum speed when chipping.•
Always check (visually) for fluid leaks. If found, resolve the leak before operating the chipper.•
Always take regular breaks. Wearing personal protective equipment for long periods can be tiring•
and hot.
Always keep hands, feet and clothing out of feed opening, discharge and moving parts.•
Always use 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.•
Always ensure protective guarding is in place before commencing work. Failure to do so may•
result in personal injury or loss of life.
Always operate the chipper in a well ventilated area - exhaust fumes are dangerous.•
Ensure a fire extinguisher is available on site.•
Ensure a personal first aid kit and hand cleaning materials are available (e.g. waterless skin cleanser).•
Always cover ignition switch with plug provided when towing or jet wash cleaning.•
