Consider the length of the material to be processed through the machine and make sure 

that there is enough height above the chipper/shredder to accommodate the material. 

Make sure the unit is located close to the area where the chips are going to be used to 

reduce carrying. 

Stay clear of the discharge area. Make sure all bystanders, children, pets, or objects that 

you do not want damaged or covered in chips, are clear of the discharge area.
