Start/Stop - Hansa C3e Operation, Maintenance And Safety Manual

If extension cords are used, they must meet these requirements:
Rated at 10 A minimum
Minimum conductor cross section is 1.0 mm
Maximum length of all cords connected must be less than 40 m
Comply with H05VV-F or H07VV-F
Be in good condition
Used away from sharp edges and water
Ensure the power supply cable is kept away from moving hazardous parts
Ensure the power supply cable is kept away from any sources of water
If the power supply cable becomes damaged, do NOT attempt to operate the chipper
If the power supply cable becomes damaged, do NOT touch the damaged cable unless it has been disconnected from its
power source
Do NOT attempt to repair any damaged cables unless you are competent to do so

Start/Stop

Before proceeding, ensure the 'safe setup procedure' has been followed on page 7 of this manual.
Plug the power supply cable into a suitable power socket and press the green power button to start the chipper. To stop the
chipper, press the red stop button. Note that the cutting rotor will take approximately to 30 seconds to fully stop.
Be sure to stop the machine, remove the plug from the socket, and check that all moving parts have come to a complete stop:
- Whenever you leave the machine
- Before clearing blockages or unclogging the chute
- Before checking, cleaning or working on the machine
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. The resulting output is not as consistent as that of branch material due to the fibrous
nature. When processing fibrous material, take note of the following points:
Blades must be sharp to process fibrous material
Fibrous material is best introduced to the machine as a bundle
Fibrous material should be introduced slowly into the machine. Tease the material in and out while feeding it into the
cutting mechanism, ensuring it is not drawn through the machine without being cut properly
Do NOT extend hands past the rubber flap while doing so
Fibrous material is processed more effectively when it is green rather than when dried
