Chipping/Shredding

What can my Chipper process?
DO NOT exceed 100mm diameter
Pruning's, stalks, roots, vegetable matter, hay,
grass and bark
Dry Manure
Branches
Palm Frons
Dead and hard timbers (dull blades quicker,
similar to a chainsaw
Bones
Soil, root balls, sand, stone, metal
When feeding the material into the chipper shredder, be extremely
careful that pieces of metal, rocks, bottles, cans or other foreign
objects are not included.
The fresh cut trees branches and straws can be chipped directly.
Due to different hardness and moisture content, the engine may
stop midway or the machine body may start shaking.
Recommend max. Chipping capacity is based on trees, bamboo
and straws. If chipping the perennial plant, you should shorten the
chipping diameter and decrease the material feeding into the Inlet
chute.
• Feed only clean material into the chipper shredder. Foreign
matter like soil, sand, grit, stones, pieces of metal, etc. will
damage the sharp edge of the cutting knives. Root balls and
dead wood will also blunt the blades quickly. Operating the
machine with blunt blades causes excessive vibration which
may result in damage to the machine.
• When chipping short or block wood material, it is strictly
forbidden to stand in front of the Inlet chute opening. The
operator should stand on the side of the inlet chute and
put the materials into the inlet chute in order to prevent any
personal injury.
• Do not feed short, stubby pieces of wood into the chipper
shredder, as they tend to bounce and spin in the Inlet
chute. Feed these short pieces together with longer pieces.
After becoming familiar with the machine, prune to suit its
capabilities.
• Because the chipper is self-feeding and has a large infeed
opening, the machine can easily be stalled with branches
that are too big for processing. You will have to hold these
branches back and feed the machine with care until you are
familiar with its capacity.
• Do not overload the chipper. If the drum is slowing down, feed
the material in slower.
The ideal chipping for this machine is suitable for fresh cut with 80%
moisture content. During the chipping process, you should obey the
following rules;
• Do not bulk feed all the branches into the Inlet chute. Only
insert one branch at a time into the Inlet chute.
• Insert big side first followed by smaller sides of the branch.
• Insert trunk of the branch first.
• Insert branches and leaves together with the bulk or segment
of big trees.
• Block and short materials are not allowed to be chipped
separately. For the safety of the operator they are better to be
crushed with the branches.

Warning
Never put your hands or fingers in the chipper chute.
For the protection of others, do not leave the machine
unattended when it is running.
1. Branches up to 100mm diameter can be chipped using the
chipper tube. Green timber will chip much faster than dry
timber. Do not chip wood that contains nails.
Yes

Important

Do not move the unit with the engine running. The
Yes
resultant tilting may starve the engine of oil and cause it
to seize.
Yes
Yes
2. If the engine is slowing substantially while chipping, reduce the
rate you are feeding branches into the machine. This will also
Yes
make the resultant chips smaller and will extend the life of the
drive. Alternatively, check if the blades are blunt.
No
3. If the chipper becomes jammed, the engine should be stopped
No
immediately (if it has not stalled). Disconnect the spark plug
wire and move it away from the spark plug. Remove the
offending material before restarting. This may involve lowering
the shredder mesh, turning the shredder assembly backwards
and prising the material out of the tube.
Note
DO NOT continue chipping if the drive belt is slipping
or smoking. To readjust the belt, see maintenance
information.
Warning
A. Do not push material into the shredder chute with
your hands. Use a green branch or a piece of
softwood.
B. Wear eye protection.
C. Small dry branches may bounce inside the Inlet
chute.
Important
Do not attempt to shred objects such as glass, metal,
plastic bottles or rocks.
4. Wear gloves when feeding small branches into the shredder
chute, hold the branches loosely and release them long before
they contact the rotating blades.
Important
Beware of a sudden jerk as the branches are tugged
into the shredder.
5. Control the rate of feeding material into the shredder chute so
that the motor is not overloaded. In particular, try to avoid rapid
changes in engine speed caused by instantaneous bulk feeding
1. Wear safety glasses at all times while operating the machine.
Hearing protection is also recommended, especially for
extended operating periods.
2. Avoid wearing any loose fitting clothing.
3. Before starting the machine, check that all screws, nuts, bolts
and other fasteners are properly secured. Replace damaged or
unreadable warning and operating decals.
4. Warning
Use extra care in handling fuels. They are flammable and the
vapours are explosive.
a) Use only an approved container for fuel.
b) Never remove fuel cap or add fuel with engine
