DELIVERY

All Timberwolf TW 280TDHB/(a) machines have a full pre - delivery inspection before leaving the factory and are ready to
use. Read and understand this instruction manual before attempting to operate the chipper. In particular, read pages 6-
8 which contain important health and safety information and advice.

MANUAL CONTROLS

Roller control boxes: a control box is located on either side of the feed funnel. Their function is to control the feed roller
whilst processing material. They do not control the main rotor.
RED SAFETY BAR: This is the large red bar that surrounds the feed tray and side of the feed funnel. The bar is spring loaded
and connected to a switch that will interrupt the power to the rollers. The switch is designed so that it only activates if the
bar is pushed to the limit of its travel. The rollers stop instantly, but can be made to turn again by pressing either the green
feed or blue reverse feed control.
Red Safety Bar Test
To ensure the safety bar is always operational it must be activated
once before each work session.
GREEN FEED CONTROL: forward feed - push the feed control once -
this activates the rollers and will allow you to start chipping (if the
rotor speed is high enough).
BLUE FEED CONTROL: reverse feed - allows you to back material out
of the rollers. The rollers will only turn in reverse as long as you keep
pressing the feed control.
Control Box Diagram
There are two control boxes, located on either side of the
feed tray.
Note: Emergency Stops shown are only included on the
