Feeding Material into the Machine. 

 

Ensure that no contaminated material is fed into the Chipper. Metal, stones, sand and dirt will harm 
the cutting edge of the blades, leading to undesirable performance. Avoid feeding stringy materials 
such as cabbage trees into the Chipper as these can wrap around the cutter shaft bearing, damaging 
the seals. 

Avoid feeding short pieces of wood into the Chipper. These short pieces tend to bounce off the 
cutting disc and act erratically. To chip these short pieces of material, combine their feeding with 
larger lengths of wood.  

Freshly cut green material will be cut more efficiently that old wood which has been sitting for an 
extended period. 

The maximum diameter of braches that the Chipper can process is 65mm, depending on the 
hardness of the wood. The Chipper has been designed to self-feed the material into the cutting 
blades. Because the Chipper has a large inlet chute, larger material has the tendency to stall the 
machine. To aid in stopping this, manually feed these larger branches down the chute, allowing the 
engine to maintain a high speed to effectively cut the material without stalling. 

Ensure that the material is fed into the inlet chute wooded end first, leaving the leafy end to be 
pulled through. This aids in the self-feeding on the machine and helps the bushy material be 
effectively cut. Some of the smaller growth coming off the main branch may need to be trimmed so 
that it doesn’t get jammed at the bottom of the inlet chute. As the operator becomes more familiar 
with the machine, they will be able to judge which branches need to be trimmed. 

If material becomes clogged at the bottom end of the inlet chute, use a spare branch to push the 
blocked material down into the cutting blade. Ensure that the spare branch is of sufficient length so 
that the operator does not have to reach down inside the chute. 

The Chipper is able to process material other than just branches. Leaves, prunings and vines can be 
fed into the Chipper.  

Unclogging the Cutter 

If the Chipper stalls through overloading or clogging, stop the engine, ensure that the cutting disc 
has completely stopped and the ignition switch is in the OFF position and the sparkplug is 
disconnected. Open the cutter housing cover and remove all the material from the housing. Close 
the cutter housing, and restart the machine. Refer to the starting procedure at the beginning of this 
section for guidance.  If any stringy material becomes wrapped around the rotor shaft, remove it 
before it works itself into the bearing.
