WC68 Operator’s Manual
TOOL USE AND CARE
•
Always be sure the operator is familiar
with proper safety precautions and operation
techniques before using machine.
•
Do not force the tool.
Tools do a better and safer job when used in the manner for which
they are designed.
•
Turn off the tractor engine
and disconnect the PTO shaft before servicing, adjusting,
installing accessories or attachments, or storing. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
•
Storing the wood chipper.
When the wood chipper is not in use, store it in a dry, secure
place or keep it well covered and out of reach of children. Inspect the wood chipper for good
working condition prior to storage and before re-use.
•
Maintain your wood chipper.
It is recommended that the general condition of the wood
chipper be examined before it is used. Keep your wood chipper in good repair by adopting a
program of conscientious repair and maintenance in accordance with the recommended
procedures found in this manual. If abnormal vibration or noise occurs, turn the wood chipper
off immediately and have the problem corrected before further use.
•
Keep blades sharp and clean.
Properly maintained wood chipper blades are less likely to
bind and make feeding-in brush easier.
•
Cleaning and Lubrication.
Use only soap and a damp cloth to clean your wood chipper.
Many household cleaners are harmful to plastic and rubber components on the wood chipper.
•
Use only accessories that are recommended
by the manufacturer for your model.
Suitable accessories for another wood chipper may create an injury risk when used on this
wood chipper.
•
Always
operate the machine with all safety devices and guards in place and in working order.
DO NOT modify or make changes to safety devices. DO NOT operate the machine if any
safety devices or guards are missing or inoperative.
•
Never leave wood chipper running unattended.
•
Never use the equipment to chip brush with trunks exceeding 6” (152 mm) in diameter
or for any purpose other than chipping brush as described in this manual.
