bottom to make sure, that Smart Feed control is swit-
ched off. The signal light in control box (3) is out.
4. Turn on the power take-off (PTO). Knife disc starts

rpm). Choose the working rounds so that you get

Emergency Stop push button (2) up. The green sig-
nal light in control box (3) starts to blink.

CONTROLLING THE FEED BY SELECTOR
SWITCH
• Control box (3) selector switch has two anti-locking
spring loaded positions: when turning clockwise, the
switch activates forward feeding and you can feed
wood into feeder. When turning counter-clockwise,
the switch activates reverse feeding and feed rollers
reverse the wood away from the feeder. Use rever-
sing function if feeder blocks up because of too large
wood or some other feeding disorder.
• Continuous forward feed activates when you turn
the selector switch clockwise for one second and
the green signal light in control box begins to blink.
When continuous forward feed is on you can release
the selector switch and start feed the material into
the chipper. After you release the selector switch, the
signal light is still on.
• When continuous forward feed is on you can use re-
verse feeding by turning the selector switch coun-
ter-clockwise briefly. Continuous forward feed will
switch off if you turn the selector switch counter-
clockwise more than two seconds.
