Use common sense when using the machine. Learn to recognize the change in sounds when overloaded. Disengage PTO and
turn off the tractor engine immediately if the machine becomes jammed to prevent damage to the drive system.
Operation Notes

Visually check the Chipper Knife for damage before each use of the
machine. See “
VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE CHIPPER KNIFE
(before each use) ” in Chapter 5 for info on accessing the Chipper
Knife.

Always operate the Tractor PTO at 540 RPM when chipping.

Only operate the DR SELF-FEEDING CHIPPER from the Operator
Zones shown in

FEEDING CHIPPER.

ALWAYS disengage the PTO when leaving the Operating Zones or

Never move the Chipper while the PTO is turning.
Processing Material
The Chipper is designed to accept wood only. The Chipper Knife mounted on a
revolving flywheel turns branches fed into the Chipper Hopper into “chips”.
The Chipper can chip branches ranging in size up to 4-1/2" in diameter. Cut
your materials into manageable lengths before feeding them into the Chipper
Hopper.


Always wear protective goggles or safety glasses with side shields while chipping to protect your eyes from possible thrown
debris.

Avoid wearing loose clothing or jewelry, which might catch on moving parts or the material fed into the chipper hopper.

We recommend wearing gloves while chipping. Be sure your gloves fit properly and do not have loose cuffs or drawstrings.

Wear shoes with non-slip treads when using your chipper. If you have safety shoes, we recommend wearing them. Do not
use the machine while barefoot or wearing open sandals.

Wear long pants while operating the DR SELF-FEEDING chipper.

Use ear protectors or ear plugs rated for at least 20 dba to protect your hearing.
The chipper hopper must be securely bolted to your DR SELF-FEEDING Chipper and the blowback shield in place before using the
machine!
