Site Considerations

Location

The chipper/shredder must be placed on a firm, flat, grass or dirt surface to prevent the machine from tipping. DO NOT place the machine on con- crete, asphalt, or other hard surfaces. The chips could bounce up from the hard surface and cause injury.

Working Clearances

Consider the length of the material to be pro- cessed through the machine and make sure that there is enough height above the chipper/shred- der to accommodate the material.

Make sure the unit is located close to the area where the chips are going to be used to reduce carrying.

Stay clear of the discharge area. Make sure all bystanders, children, pets, or objects that you do not want damaged or covered in chips, are clear of the discharge area.

This control is instrumental in preventing burning or damaging the material being sanded. Additionally, the sander is equipped with a dust collection port, ensuring a cleaner workspace by effectively removing debris and dust generated during the sanding process.

The digital readout on the machine's control panel offers precise measurement of the drum height, allowing for consistent and repeatable results. This feature is particularly advantageous when sanding multiple pieces to the same thickness.
