Use it in response to an immediate hazard/danger to an operator or onlooker
Follow the regular shutdown procedure in addition to using the emergency stop

Safe setup procedures
Ensure all pre-operation checks have been done
Setup the work site so there is no danger to traffic or public and provide adequate warnings.
Ensure the chipper is positioned on level ground.
Ensure the feed roller control bar is not jammed, disabled, or otherwise impeded such that the effectiveness of the stop
control is compromised
Ensure that the outlet chute is discharged onto soft ground (e.g. grass)
Do NOT
allow the outlet chute to discharge chip onto hard surfaces (such as a paved or gravel surface)
Ejected material can rebound and cause injury
Keep children and spectators clear of the work area at all times
Do NOT
operate the chipper where there is a hazard to onlookers

allow any person under the age of 18 to operate the chipper
Refuelling:
Take extra care in handling fuels
They are flammable and vapors are explosive
Use only an approved fuel container
Always replace and securely tighten fuel cap after refuelling
Allow engine to cool down before refuelling
If you need to drain the fuel, ensure this is done outside
Do NOT
smoke when using or refuelling the chipper
Never remove fuel cap or add fuel with the engine running
Never refuel the chipper indoors
Never store the chipper or fuel container inside where there is an open flame, such as a water heater
If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine. Wipe up the spilled fuel and move the chipper away from the
area of spillage before starting
