Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE) whenever 
operating the machine. This includes but is not limited to 
protective shoes with slip resistant soles, protective goggles 
or face shield, heavy gloves, hearing protection and protective 
clothing.

Do not place metal, bottles, cans, rocks, glass or other solid 
material into the wood chipper. If something like this gets into 
the machine, stop the machine immediately for a detailed 
inspection. Stop engine, remove ignition key and place in your 
pocket and wait for all moving parts to stop before inspecting 
or unplugging. Inspect machine for damaged or loosened parts 
before resuming work.

1. 

Before beginning to feed, ensure the motor warmed up and 
the rotor is up to speed.

2. 

Slowly slide the wooden material into the feed hopper and 
move it into the rotor.

3. 

Do not force the material into the rotor, as the material 
engages the rotor, the rotor will draw the material in. Use 
continuous lite pressure to guide in the material.

4. 

Be aware of how much material you feed in, slow down or 
stop if the engine begins to slow down.

5. 

Do not reach into the feed hopper further than the curtain to 
be sure not to contact the blades on the rotor.

6. 

Use a stick or branch to push any piece of material into the 
rotor that does not move on its own. If the jam persists then 
stop the engine and wait for the rotor to stop and then clear 
the jam. 

Do not take a chance with getting your hand 

caught in the rotor.

7. 

Ensure your wood chip pile is contained and doesn't affect 
the immediate work area.

6.8  Chipping Operation

Fig.  16 – 

Safety Curtain inside Feed Hopper

 WARNING!

Never reach into the feed hopper 

when the chipper is operating. 

Doing so risks contacting 

knives on the rotor and causing 

serious injury.
Use a stick or branch to push 

any material in that does not 

move on its own. If the jam 

persists, stop the engine and 

clear the jam.
