BXTR6438
The BXTR6438 Wood Chipper is a strong, rugged machine that
is built to a straight-forward design which provides consistent
chipping of logs up to
7" (18 cm)
in diameter.
Always wear proper PPE whenever operating the machine. This
includes but is not limited to a hard hat, 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.
Inspect machine for damaged or loosened parts, repair or
replace parts as required before resuming work.
Caution and care should be exercised when feeding material into
the feeder. Do not reach into the feed hopper at any time.
•
De-limb large branches and trees, the limbs on the
branches may catch the roller feed control bar as they pass
by them and shut the rollers off.
•
Be aware of the size and shape of the material, crotchety,
curved branches and logs can move in unpredictable ways
as they pass through the feed rollers. Large curved pieces
should be cut to smaller straighter sections.
•
Hold small diameter branches / limbs together in a bundle
and feed in simultaneously.
•
Place short branches on top of longer ones, to avoid
reaching into the hopper.
•
Before beginning to feed, ensure the motor is warmed up
and the rotor is up to speed.
•
Move the feed control bar into the feed position to start the
feed rollers turning.
•
Stand to the side of the feed table, slowly slide material into
the feed table and move it into the feed rollers.
•
Do not force the material into the rollers, as the material
engages the roller, the roller will draw the material in.
•
Ensure your wood chip pile is contained and doesn't affect
the immediate work area.
5.5 Chipping Operation
WARNING!
Never reach into the feed hopper. Doing so risks
hands getting caught. Use a stick or branch to
push in any material that does not move on its
own.
If jammed, stop the engine, wait for the rotor to
stop, then clear the jam.
