*Tips * The hardness of the wood varies, of different wood type, the time between pruning and chipping and how dry the branches are. This machine performs best if the branches are chipped fresh right after pruned. *CAUTION* Dry wood will wear blade faster than normal, even damaging the blades.
5. USING THE MACHINE 5.1. CHIPPING BRANCHES 1. Stand to the side of the hopper, ensuring you have a stable stand and firm footing. 2. When placing long branches into the feeding chute, remove twigs and smaller branches so that you are feeding a thin, straight piece into the machine. 3.

big diameter, always feed the bigger ends into the chute first. The chipper/shredder will work best if the blades are sharp. Rotate, sharpen, or replace the blades as soon as chipper/shredder performance begins to deteriorate. If the engine is slowing down while chipping, reduce the feeding rate of the branches.
Page 25
5.3. ROTOR JAMMED The rotor may be blocked due to blunt blades, incorrect usage of emergency button while chipping, machine not completely emptied before stopping the engine, or engine has stopped due to overloading of the chipper with too much branches and etc.
6. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE WARNING: Turn OFF the machine, allow all moving parts to come to a complete stop, and disconnect the spark plug wire before moving the machine, emptying the bag, unclogging the inlets or outlets, filling the gas tank, or performing any maintenance and repairs.

6.3.5. BLADES AND ANVIL *CAUTION* Blades are extremely sharp, take care please! Torque scale: 60-70Nm for blade and 35-45Nm for anvil. Blades and anvil need cleaning after every chipping job, to protect it from corrosion. Sharpen or replace the blades as soon as the chipping performance begins to deteriorate, or if you notice signs of chips or cracks.
Page 31
*NOTE*: Check the gap between the blades and the anvil. The gap should be no smaller than 0.5mm and not bigger than 1mm. (See Figure 18). Figure 16. Figure 17. Figure 18. Sharpening: Blades must only be sharpened by grinding on a bench grinder. Do not sharpen with hand held equipment.
