BASIC WOODCHIPPING SAFETY
he 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.
AZARDOUS 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.
ALWAYS work on the side of the machine furthest from any local danger, e.g. not road side.
WARNING
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.
OPERATOR'S PERSONAL PROTECTI E EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
Chainsaw safety helmet fitted
with mesh visor and
recommended ear defenders to
the appropriate specifications.
Work gloves with elasticated
wrist.
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.
Steel toe cap safety boots.

GENERAL SAFETY MATTERS
D O ’ S A N D D O N ’ T S
DO NOT operate chipper unless available light is

unattended.
ALWAYS check the machine is well supported and
cannot move.
ALWAYS operate the chipper with the engine set
to maximum speed when chipping.
ALWAYS check (visually) for fluid leaks.
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 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.
ALWAYS ensure protective guarding is in place
before commencing work. Failure to do so may
result in personal injury or loss of life.
