CE-20 11/18
Brush chippers are very dangerous machines
to operate. The chipper feedwheels are very
dangerous. They are designed to pull large
diameter trees of any length into the chipper.
Pulling your hand, arm, foot or entire body through
the machine is much easier than pulling a tree.
Follow the operating instructions in the operator’s
manual, and always be in position to activate
the feed controls. Never take chances pushing
wood too far into the infeed hopper of the chipper.
Never use your feet to try and kick wood into the
machine. There have been accidents involving the
feedwheels, resulting in the amputation of hands,
arms, feet, legs, and death. Do not let this happen
to you. Do not open the chipper hood without letting
the chipper drum come to a complete stop. This
means a complete stop - not almost. Wait at least
3 minutes before disengaging the hood lock pin.
Never operate the chipper without the hood lock
pin securely installed and the hood lock pin padlock
locked. Failure to do this will allow the chipper hood
to slam to the open positions and possibly injure
someone. Do not operate this machine unless you
have been trained for safe operating procedures
and have read and understand the manual.
CE-17 11/18
If the discharge or hood needs to be removed,
always use some sort of mechanical device like an
overhead hoist, loader, lift truck, etc. that is rated for
lifting that component. Follow all OSHA instructions
for lifting. Never open the discharge or transition
clean-out door while the chipper is in operation.
CE-14 11/18
Wear all recommended personal protected
equipment (PPE).
