Protecting Yourself and Those Around You

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 WOOD 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 WOOD. 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 DR 10 HP 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 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 WITH THE CHIPPER HOPPER OR DISCHARGE CHUTE REMOVED.

•DO NOT OPERATE THE ENGINE WITH THE AIR CLEANER OR COVER OVER THE CARBURETOR AIR- INTAKE REMOVED, EXCEPT FOR ADJUSTMENT. REMOVAL OF SUCH PARTS COULD CREATE A FIRE HAZARD. DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE SOLUTIONS TO CLEAN AIR FILTER.

•ALWAYS OPERATE THE MACHINE FROM THE OPERATOR ZONE (SEE FIGURE 4 ON PAGE 18). NEVER PASS OR STAND ON THE DISCHARGE SIDE OF THE MACHINE WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING OR THE FLYWHEEL IS TURNING.

•NEVER TRY TO PICK UP, MOVE, OR TRANSPORT THE MACHINE WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING OR THE FLYWHEEL IS TURNING.

•THE MUFFLER AND ENGINE BECOME VERY HOT AND CAN CAUSE A SEVERE BURN; DO NOT TOUCH.

•CLEAR THE AREA OF OBJECTS SUCH AS WIRE AND ROPE ETC. INSERTING THESE OBJECTS INTO THE CHIPPER HOPPER COULD DAMAGE THE FLYWHEEL AND/OR CAUSE INJURY.

•NEVER, UNDER ANY CONDITIONS, REMOVE, BEND, CUT, FIT, WELD, OR OTHERWISE ALTER STANDARD PARTS ON THE DR 10 HP CHIPPER. THIS INCLUDES ALL SHIELDS AND GUARDS. MODIFICATIONS TO YOUR MACHINE COULD CAUSE PERSONAL INJURIES AND PROPERTY DAMAGE AND WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
