Power supply The C3e requires a 220-240V AC 50Hz earthed power connection. The C3e is rated at 8.4 A. It is recommended that the C3e is only connected to a power socket which is protected by a circuit-breaker that would activate with a residual current not more than 30 mA.
Processing fibrous material The C3e 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.
Transportation The C3e 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 wheels. The chipper can then be wheeled to and from the work location. The chip catcher bag should be removed from the chipper when transporting or moving to avoid damage to the bag.
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 power source is unplugged, the cutting means can still move.
