Special safety instructions for this machine
•
Never put your hands, feet or any other body parts into the infeed, the discharge chute or into
the close vicinity of or under moving parts while the engine is running. Always keep your distance
from the discharge chute. If you need to push material into the discharge chute, use a small stick
and not your hands.
•
Keep your face and body away from the infeed / discharge chute to avoid accidental rebound of
material.
•
The machine should only be operated on a level surface. Never operate the machine on a slippery,
wet, muddy or icy surface.
•
If the cutterknifes hits a foreign object or if your machine makes unusual noises or vibrations, stop
the engine immediately. After the machine has come to a standstill, proceed as follows:
•
Wait until all moving parts have come to a standstill.
•
Check for possible damages.
•
Repair or replace all damaged parts before putting the machine back into operation.
•
Be cautious to avoid slips or falls.
•
Switch off the engine when leaving the operating area, and when carrying out repairs, adjust-
ments and inspections.
•
Always stay at a distance from the discharge chute.
•
Take all precautions recommended by the manufacturer when leaving the machine unattended.
Press the emergency stop button.
•
Switch off the engine before cleaning, repair or inspection and make sure that the all moving
parts have come to a complete standstill. Disconnect the spark plug cap and keep the cap away
from the spark plug to prevent accidental starting.

other foreign bodies. This could cause injuries or damages to the machine.

Note that the discharge area must be free of people, animals, buildings, glass, or other objects
that could interfere with free discharge and cause injury or damage. Wind can also change the
direction of ejection, be aware of this.
•
Make sure that no processed material collects in the discharge area, as this will interfere with
proper discharge and may cause kickback from the chipping chute.

Make sure that no part of the engine, especially around the cooling fins and muffler, becomes
clogged with processed material, leaves, oil, grease, or other flammable materials.
