CHIPPING
6. If you wish to collect the shredded material, it can be discharged onto a plastic, or similar,
sheet. To collect the material, simply switch off the machine, move it backwards off the sheet,
and pick up the sheet by its four corners.
Please note: The machine should not be tilted while it is running, as the engine may seize.
7. Do not allow discharged material to build up to the point where the discharge chute is
blocked. In the unlikely event that material becomes jammed in the chipper chamber, switch
off the machine, turn off the fuel tap, lower the clutch lever and disconnect the spark plug
lead from the spark plug. Latch the discharge chute in the ‘Up’ position and reach into the
discharge opening to remove the offending material. warninG: FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL
THESE PROCEDURES COULD LEAD TO A SERIOUS INJURY, AS THE ENGINE MAY START WHEN
THE DISC IS ROTATED BY HAND.
8. Be very careful when feeding long ‘stringy’ material into the hopper, as it can rush out of your
hands in an instant.

WRAP MATERIAL AROUND YOUR HANDS. ALWAYS BE PREPARED
TO INSTANTLY RELEASE THE MATERIAL. PREFERABLY, LONG MATERIAL SUCH AS VINES
SHOULD BE CUT INTO LENGTHS NO LONGER THAN 500mm.
TO STOP, SIMPLY MOVE THE ON-OFF SWITCH TO ‘OFF’. NEVER RAISE THE DISCHARGE
CHUTE TO STOP THE MACHINE. REMOVE THE SPARK PLUG LEAD BEFORE CLEARING A JAM
OR CHECKING THE MACHINE. LEAVE THE CLUTCH ENGAGED WHEN STOPPING. THIS WILL
REDUCE THE ‘RUN-ON’ PERIOD OF THE ROTOR. After the rotor has stopped, the clutch can be
moved to the disengage position in readiness for the next start-up.
