WORK AREA
Keep everyone — especially children — away from the area of operation.
Anyone who has not read this manual and received instructions from a
qualified person should not be in the area.
Provided labels on the unit advise the user of proper hitch dimensions and
maximum safe operating speed. Check that proper danger labels are supplied with
the drive-line (replacements are available from your drive-line supplier). Provide
easy-to-understand instructions for proper drive-line operation, maintenance and
repair in the operator’s manual.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
chipper. Do not use a chipper while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating a chipper
may result in serious personal injury.
Do not attempt to operate the chipper until you have read and understood the
owner’s manual.
Always keep the guards and chip deflector installed properly while operating
the chipper.
Keep the decals in place and in good repair. The factory or your dealer will furnish
new decals upon request.
Keep hair, hands, feet and other extremities out of and away from the hopper.
Make sure there are no loose ends or strings to be caught by the machine.
Point the discharge chute away from doorways, sidewalks, or any areas where
your view is obstructed. The chute should be pointed downwind when possible or the
fines will blow into your eyes and down your neck.
WEAR PROTECTIVE GEAR:
EYES — Wraparound ANSI-approved safety glasses.
EARS — Ear plugs
HANDS — Leather gloves
FEET — Steel-toed boots
LEGS — Heavy pants
ARMS — Long-sleeved shirt
Always use the appropriate eye and ear protection and other safety equipment.
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and a hardhat used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Avoid accidental starting. Disconnect chipper from PTO when not in use, and when
moving chipper to another work area.
