back up the infeed chute. Some side branches may require pre-cutting so that the branch will
‘self-feed’ more efficiently.
While operating the machine keep a wooden stick handy, approx 100 mm diameter x 600 mm
long. This stick will be useful for pushing in short, brushy and very leafy materials and to keep the
infeed chute clear.
It is always advisable to process freshly cut materials, as wooden branches get very hard and
springy when dried out. They are then more awkward to handle and the knives blunten much
quicker.
Do not allow processed material to build up in the discharge area; this may prevent proper
discharge and can result in kickback of material through the feed opening. The chipper can clog
up with soft, wet or fibrous materials. However, if you feed soft materials intermittently with
branches, there should be no problem, as the wood chips tend to clean out any residue left in
the machine.
If the machine becomes clogged, shut off the engine (or motor) and disconnect the spark plug
wire (electric unit unplug) before cleaning debris.
See the Hansa operator’s manual for more information.
