cause you to stumble or fall.

• Your chipper is a powerful tool, not a plaything. Exercise extreme caution at all times. Your unit has been
designed to chip. Do not use it for any other purpose.

of purchase for additional assistance.
Preparation
• Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all foreign objects.
• Do not operate the machine without wearing adequate outer garments and safety goggles. Always wear
safety glasses or goggles during operation and while performing any adjustment or repair, to protect eyes
from foreign objects that may be thrown from the machine. Be sure your glasses or goggles fit properly.
• Avoid loose-fitting clothes and use protective footwear that will improve footing on slippery surfaces. Shirt
and slacks that cover the arms and legs and steel-toed shoes are recommended. Secure hair above
shoulders. Do not wear loose clothes or jewelry that can be caught in moving parts. Never operate a unit
in bare feet, sandals or sneakers. Wear gloves when feeding material into the chipper chute. Be sure your
gloves fit properly and do not have loose cuffs or drawstring.
• Warning: Fuel is highly flammable and the vapors are explosive. Take the following precautions.
• Store fuel and oil in approved containers.
• Keep away from heat and open flame, and out of the reach of children.
• Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refueling.
• Check and add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove gas cap or add fuel while the engine is
running or when the engine is hot. Allow engine to cool before refueling.
• If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage
and avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have disappeared.
• Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely.
• Never store the machine or fuel container inside where there is an open flame or spark, such as a gas hot
water heater, space heater, clothes dryer or furnace.
• To reduce fire hazard, keep engine and muffler free of debris build-up. Clean up fuel and oil spillage.
Allow unit to cool at least five minutes before storing.
• Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine is running.
Operation
• Never place your hands, feet, or any part of your body in the chipper chute, discharge opening, or near
orunder any moving part while the engine is running. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times. If it
becomes necessary to push material into the chipper chute, use a small diameter stick, NOT YOUR HANDS.
• Keep your face and body back from chipper chute to avoid accidental bounce back of any material.
• The machine should only be operated on a level surface. Never operate your unit on a slippery, wet, muddy,
or icy surface.
