SAFETY SYMBOLS
SYMBOL MEANING
CE-20 11/18
Brush chippers are very dangerous machines to
operate. The 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 for several 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).
