Tips:

It is best to trim off any side twigs from the main branch being chipped (Figure 32). Green branches process quicker and easier than dry branches and soft wood is easier than hardwood.

Use caution with small diameter green saplings and branches. Chip these grouped or bundled together to provide support for each other (Figure 33).

Make sure the Chipper finishes chipping material in the Hopper before shutting the engine off.

Important! Use common sense when using the machine. Learn to recognize the change in sounds when it is overloaded. Stop the engine immediately if the machine becomes jammed to prevent damage to the drive system.
