Protecting Yourself and Those Around You 

 

Safety for Children and Pets 

This is a high-powered machine, with moving parts operating with high energy at high speeds.  You must operate the machine 
safely.  Unsafe operation can create a number of hazards for you, as well as anyone else in the nearby area.  Always take the 
following precautions when using this machine: 

 

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 can 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 3-Point Hitch DR SELF-FEEDING Chipper. 

 

Use ear protectors or ear plugs rated for at least 20 dba to protect your hearing. 

 

Never allow people who are unfamiliar with these instructions to use the chipper.  Allow only responsible individuals who are 
familiar with these rules of safe operation to use your machine. 

 

Never place your hands, feet, or any part of your body in the chipper hopper, discharge opening, or near or under any moving 
part while the machine is running.  Keep area of discharge clear of people, animals, buildings, glass, or anything else that will 
obstruct clear discharge, cause injury, or damage.  Wind can also change discharge direction, so be aware.  If it becomes 
necessary to push material into the chipper hopper, use a small diameter stick, not with your hands. 

 

Keep bystanders 100 feet away from your work area at all times.  Wood chips exit the chipper at great speeds.  To be safe, do 
not operate the machine near small children or pets, and never allow children to operate the chipper.  Stop the engine when 
another person or pet approaches. 

 

Never use the machine without ensuring that all guards and shields are in place, including the chipper hopper, discharge 
chute and blowback shield. 

 

Always operate the machine from the operator zone (see chapter 4).  Never pass or stand on the discharge side of the 
machine when the engine is running or the flywheel is turning. 

 

Never transport the Chipper with the PTO engaged and the Flywheel turning. 

 

Clear the area of objects such as wire and rope, etc.  Inserting these objects into the chipper hopper could damage the 
flywheel and/or cause injury. 

 

Never, under any conditions, remove, bend, cut, fit, weld, or otherwise alter standard parts on the 3-point hitch DR SELF-
FEEDING Chipper.  This includes all shields and guards.  Modifications to your machine could cause personal injuries and 
property damage and will void your warranty. 

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children and pets.  Children are often attracted to the 
machine and the chipping activity.  Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.  Always follow these 
precautions: 

 

Keep children and pets at least 100 feet from the working area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult. 

 

Be alert and turn the machine off if children or pets enter the work area. 

 

Never allow children to operate the 3-Point Hitch DR SELF-FEEDING Chipper.
