Do not operate this machine until this manual has been read and fully understood; 

serious injury or death can occur if these safety warnings are ignored!

Never allow more than one person to operate this machine at one time.  If two people are 

working together it will increase the chance of your workmate engaging the machine or caus-

ing you to fall into the machine.

Wood is much harder than human flesh! If your hand is ever near the chipping or feeding area 

serious injury can occur. NEVER place your hands on the machine while it is chipping.

Never place your hands or feet on or near the machine while it is engaged.

Never place your hands or feet on or near the material while it is feeding.

DO NOT wear loose clothing, jewelry, or anything that can catch a branch that is feeding into 

the chipper.

DO NOT stand directly in front of the infeed hopper when loading material into the hopper; 

always load from the side of the hopper. This will not allow any part of your body to be pulled 

into the machine.

Always wear safety hearing protection, eye wear, gloves, and long pants when operating the 

chipper. 

Never place your hands beyond the opening of the hopper while the chipper is running.

Never allow children, disabled, or untrained persons to operate the chipper.

Do not operate the chipper near bystanders, public roads, or anywhere that the debris may 

travel far enough to injure another person.

Never move the chipper while it is running.

Shut off the tractor and allow the chipper to come to a complete stop before removing any 

debris.

Never perform any maintenance or repair while the chipper is running.

The SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) Triangle must be visible at all times when traveling on public 

roads.
