Processing Material

•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 MIGHT 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 DR ROAD-TOWABLE CHIPPER.

•USE EAR PROTECTORS OR EAR PLUGS RATED FOR AT LEAST 20 DBA TO PROTECT YOUR HEARING.

•Your DR ROAD-TOWABLE CHIPPER can process dry or green material.

•Green material will process quicker and easier than dry material.

•Soft wood processes easier than hard wood.

•Your operator experience will teach you how different materials chip and how fast you can process different materials.

•When chipping branches, sometimes a tail will remain at the end of a branch. To avoid this, rotate the branch while feeding it into the Chipper Hopper.

•Rotating the branch as you feed it into the machine will improve chipping performance.

•It is best to trim off any side twigs from the main branch that you are chipping.

•Use caution with small diameter green saplings and branches less than 2" in diameter. Chip these grouped or bundled together to provide support for each other. If the material is 2" or larger, feed only one at a time into the Chipper Hopper.

•Make sure the DR ROAD-TOWABLE CHIPPER finishes processing material in the Hopper before shutting the engine off.

USE COMMON SENSE WHEN USING THE MACHINE. LEARN TO RECOGNIZE THE CHANGE IN SOUNDS WHEN OVERLOADED. TURN OFF THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY IF THE MACHINE BECOMES JAMMED TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE DRIVE SYSTEM.
