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.•
