adjustments and inspections. STAY CLEAR OF THE CHIP CHUTE AT ALL TIMES.
• Take all possible precautions as recommended in this manual when leaving the machine
unattended.
• Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, shut off the engine and make certain the
flywheel and all moving parts have come to a complete stop. Disconnect the spark
plug wire(s) and keep the wire away from the spark plug to prevent accidental starting.
• Keep all guards and safety devices in place and operating properly. Do not operate the
machine if all safety guards are not in place.
• Do not use the unit with the chipper hopper removed.
• Do not overload or attempt to chip material beyond 5 inches.
• Only use accessories approved for this machine by the manufacturer. Read, understand,
and follow all instructions provided with the approved accessory.

or in dark areas where your vision may be impaired.
• Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the machine towards you. NEVER move
the machine while it is running.

safe operation speed and protects the engine. Over-speeding the engine is dangerous
and will cause damage to the engine and to the other moving parts of
the machine.
• Start the engine according to the manufacturer's instructions. Keep
hands and feet away from the inlet and discharge areas.
• Do not operate while under the use of alcohol, drugs, or medication. A

• When feeding material into this equipment, be extremely careful that pieces of metal,
rocks, or other foreign objects are not included. Personal injury or damage to the
equipment could result.

discharge area as this will prevent proper discharge and can result in
kick-back from the chipper chute.
• Do not allow any part of the engine, especially around the cooling fins
and muffler, to become clogged with processed material, leaves, oil,
grease or any other combustible material.
• Do not operate the engine if air cleaner or cover over carburetor air-intake is removed,
except for adjustment. Non-removal of such parts could create a fire hazard.
