Emergency stop
The emergency stop acts as an immediate kill switch to the engine. It does not stop the cutting rotor from spinning. The cutting
rotor will continue to spin for some time due to its rotational inertia. To engage the emergency stop, push the red button. To
disengage the emergency stop, twist the red button clockwise until it releases outwards.
Use it when foreign matter such as sand, stones or metal enter the inlet chute
Use it in response to an immediate hazard/danger to an operator or onlooker
After the cutting rotor comes to a halt, follow the regular shutdown procedure in addition to using the emergency stop
Inspect the machine before resetting the emergency stop
Under normal conditions, Do NOT use the emergency stop in place of the regular shutdown procedure
Storage
Always allow the chipper to cool before storing
Store the chipper out of the reach of children
Store the chipper where fuel vapor will not reach an open flame or spark
Switch fuel lever to off position
For extended storage periods, run the unit dry of fuel
Store the chipper out of the rain
Water can rust the steel body of the chipper
