Limit the size of the pieces you insert. DO NOT feed the machine with material that is larger than it is rated for.
5.12.8.
Stay free and clear as you feed. Stand to the side of the infeed chute, pushing materials in with a wooden push tool or long branch and
feeding branches in butt-end first and placing shorter branches on top of longer ones.
5.12.9.
Before starting the machine, look into the feeding chamber to make certain that it is empty.
5.12.10. Keep your face and body away from the feed intake opening.

8
discharge zone when operating this machine
5.12.11. When feeding material into the machine be extremely careful that pieces of metal, rocks, bottles, cans or other foreign objects are not
included.
5.12.12. If the cutting mechanism strikes any foreign objects or if the machine should start making any unusual noise or vibration, shut off the
power source and allow the machine to stop. Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug (electric unit disconnect from supply)
and inspect for damage check for any loose parts and tighten.
5.12.13. Have any damaged parts replaced or repaired with parts having equivalent specifications.
DO NOT allow processed material to build up in the discharge zone. this may prevent proper discharge and can result in kickback of
8
material through the feed intake opening.
5.12.14. If the machine becomes clogged at the inlet opening or discharge chute shut-off the power source and disconnect the spark plug wire
or remove the ignition key before clearing debris in the inlet opening or discharge chute.
5.12.15. Keep the power source clear of debris and other accumulations to prevent damage to the power source or possible fire. Remember
that operating the starting mechanism on engine powered machines will still cause the cutting means to move.
5.12.16. Keep all guards and deflectors in place and in good working condition.
DO NOT tamper with the power source governor settings. the governor controls the safe maximum operating speed and protects the
8
power source and all moving parts from damage caused by over-speed. Seek authorised service if a problem exist.
DO NOT transport this machine while the power source is running.
