Processing fibrous material The C7 can process palm fronds, flax, cabbage tree leaves and other similar fibrous material. The machines cutting disk is cantilevered (supported on the engine side with two bearings), therefore there is no risk of anything fibrous wrapping around the shaft and working its way into the bearings.
Water can rust the steel body of the chipper Transportation The C7 is designed to be moved by one person using both handles at the top of the inlet chute to lean the chipper backwards and transfer its weight onto the Handles wheels.
Blunt knives result in damage to the chipper How to re-sharpen the knives If you don’t have a surface grinder or are unsure how to re-sharpen the knives, contact a professional saw doctor or Hansa to arrange re-sharpening. WARNING! Be careful when working around the sharp knives. Be aware that even though the engine is switched off, the cutting means can still move.
