Branches up to 3" in diameter can be fed into the chipper chute. See Figure 6.Observe the following guidelines when chipping branches:

Keep both hands firmly on the branch as you feed it into the chipper chute.

Never feed more than one branch into the chipper chute at a time.

Never feed anything other than branches (or wood) into the chipper chute.

Use the tamper to assist in feeding branches into the chipper chute.

Apply intermittent pressure (force, in short pulses) while feeding larger (2- 3-inch diameter) branches into the chipper chute, to avoid bogging or stalling the engine.
