SAFETY GUIDELINES
Work Area Safety
- Ensure that your work area is kept well
lit and clean.Lack of visibility and clutter
greatly increase the risk of accident.
- Keep bystanders and children clear
when operating a power tool or
machine. They can cause distraction or risk
injury themselves.
- Ensure you are not operating the
power tool or machinery in the
presence of ammable gases, dust,
liquids, or anything that creates an
explosive atmosphere. Power tools and
machinery can create sparks which can
lead to ignition in these environments.
Personal Safety
- Always wear personal protective
equipment. Eye protection, ear protection,
dust masks, and other protective
equipment will help to reduce the risk of
personal injury.
- Dress appropriately. DO NOT wear or
loose clothing that can get caught in
moving parts. Keep hair, loose clothing,
jewelery, and anything else that could be
READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS &
INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow
instructions and warnings could lead to
serious injury, electric shock, or re.
of risk away from moving parts or they
could be caught.
- Always remain alert and DO NOT
operate the power tool or machinery
under the inuence of any substances
(drugs, medications, alcohol). Losing
focus could lead to injury while operating
power tools and machinery.
- Always keep proper footing and
balance. Overreaching can lead to slipping
and falling which can result in injury.
- Ensure the power switch is in the o
position before connecting any batter
or power source to the power tool or
machinery. This can lead to accidents
as tools and machinery can suddenly
re when it is not expected, leading to
accident.
- Use all provided dust collection and
extraction attachments if included. This,
with the use of dust masks, can help keep
you safe from dust and keep your work site
clear while working.
- Ensure loose parts such as a wrench
or adjusting key are removed before
starting the power tool or machinery.
Failure to remove these can result in
serious injury.
WARNING

SAFETY GUIDELINES
Fuel & Engine Safety
Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a colorless, odorless, poison
gas. Breathing carbon monoxide will
cause nausea, dizziness, fainting or death.
If you start to feel dizzy or weak, get fresh
air immediately.
Operate the machinery outdoors only
in a well-ventilated area and point the
exhaust away from you.
WARNING
- DO NOT operate the machine inside any
building, including garages, basements,
crawlspaces and sheds, enclosure, or
compartment, including the storage
compartment of a recreational vehicle.
- DO NOT allow exhaust fumes to enter a
conned area through windows, doors,
vents, or other openings.
- NEVER use inside a home or garage, EVEN
IF doors and windows are open. ONLY
use OUTSIDE and far away from windows,
doors, and vents.
WARNING
Using an engine indoors CAN KILL YOU
IN MINUTES. Engine exhaust contains
carbon monoxide. This is a poison you
cannot see or smell.
DANGER
GASOLINE AND GASOLINE VAPORS
ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND
EXPLOSIVE. Fire or explosion can
cause severe burns or death.
Gasoline & Vapors
- Gasoline is highly ammable and
explosive.
- Gasoline can cause a re or explosion if
ignited.
- Gasoline is a liquid fuel, but its vapors can
ignite.
- Gasoline is a skin irritant and needs to be
cleaned up immediately if spilled on skin or
clothes.
- Gasoline has a distinctive odor; this will
help detect potential leaks quickly.
- In any petroleum gas re, ames should
not be extinguished unless by doing so
the fuel supply valve can be turned OFF.
This is because if a re is extinguished and
a supply of fuel is not turned OFF, then an
explosion hazard could be created.
- Never ll gas tank to capacity as gasoline
needs room to expand if temperature rises.

8
SAFETY GUIDELINES
When Adding or Removing
Gasoline
- DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.
- Turn the engine o and let it cool for at
least two minutes before removing the
gasoline cap. Loosen the cap slowly to
relieve pressure in the tank.
- Only ll or drain gasoline outdoors in a
well-ventilated area.
- DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the
engine at the gas station. Use an approved
container to transfer fuel to the engine.
- DO NOT overll the gasoline tank.
- Always keep gasoline away from sparks,
open ames, pilot lights, heat, and other
sources of ignition.
When Starting the Engine
- DO NOT attempt to start a damaged
engine.
- Make certain that the gasoline cap, air
lter, spark plug, fuel lines, and exhaust
system are properly in place.
- Allow spilled gasoline to evaporate fully
before attempting to start the engine.
- Make certain that the water pump is
resting rmly on level ground.
Spark from a removed spark plug wire can
result in re or electrical shock.
Specic Safety

and if necessary, the wind direction. Ensure
that debris are not blowing in a direction
that will cause disruption.
- Do not put any part of your body into the
in-feed chute while the machine is running.
- Do not operate inside a building or
conned space and do not climb on the
in-feed chute.
- Keep in mind that the operator or user
is responsible for accidents or hazards
occurring to other people, their property,
and themselves.
- Always wear protective goggles or safety
glasses with side shields while using the
wood chipper to protect your eyes from
possible thrown debris.
- We recommend wearing gloves while
using the wood chipper. Be sure your

FUNCTIONS
Fuel Valve Control
The fuel valve opens and closes the
passage between the fuel tank and the
carburetor. The fuel valve lever must be
in the ON position for the engine to run.
When the engine is not in use, leave the
fuel valve lever in the OFF position to
prevent the carburetor ooding and to
reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.
Throttle Control
The throttle lever controls engine speed.
Moving the throttle lever makes the engine
run faster or slower.
Engine Switch
The engine switch enables and disables the
ignition system. The engine switch must
be in the ON position for the engine to
run. Turning the engine switch to the OFF
position stops the engine.
Choke Lever
The choke lever opens and closes the
choke valve in the carburetor. The closed
position enriches the fuel mixture for
starting a cold engine.
The open position provides the correct fuel
mixture for operation after starting, and for
restarting a warm engine.
Recoil Starter Grip
Pulling the starter grip operates the recoil
starter to crank the engine. Use this to start
the engine on your machine.
Feed Hopper
It is the opening into which all materials to
be chipped should be fed.
Chipped materials are discharged through
this opening. Deector can be attached to
the chute.
Deector Lever
Loosen it in the anti-clockwise direction to
adjust the discharge angle. Tighten it in the
clockwise direction.
Emergency Stop Button
This machine has an emergency stop
button that will shut down the machine
immediately if hit.
