Protecting Yourself and Those Around You

6 30.00 COMMERCIAL DR

RAPID-FEED™ CHIPPER

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 30.00 COMMERCIAL DR RAPID-FEED 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.

• DO NOT OPERATE THE ENGINE WITH THE AIR CLEANER OR THE CARBURETOR AIR INTAKE

COVER REMOVED. REMOVAL OF SUCH PARTS COULD CREATE A FIRE HAZARD. DO NOT USE

FLAMMABLE SOLUTIONS TO CLEAN THE AIR FILTER.

• 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.
