About Your Product
This manual is for models:
FM6DD - 6hp Petrol Engine
FM4DDE - 4hp Electric Motor
The FM6DD and FM4DDE are wood chippers specically designed to chip all kinds
of wood that has been freshly cut up to 50mm (2”) diameter. NOTE: Do not insert
wood over the diameter specied, roots or trunks, stones, plastic, metal or any
other objects that are not specically wood branches. Do not insert seasoned wood
as the chippers are designed for freshly cut soft and hard wood.
Please thoroughly read the safety instructions and guidelines and make sure you
are familiar with them before use.
CE Regulation Parts
To comply with CE regulation (countries with the EU), the Hopper Safety Plate (9)
and M3 Discharge Chute Safety Bolts (39) must be installed for your own safety
(Check exploded diagram for parts).
For non-CE regulation (e.g. use in the United States or outside of Europe) these
parts can be removed to make the chipper easier to use, but at the risk of your own
safety. Forest Master Ltd will accept no responsibility for injuries caused by using
the chipper without these parts installed.

and operation of the machine and must have read the manual.
• Operators must be over the age of 18 and must not be under the inuence of
alcohol, drugs or any other substance that has an adverse eect on reaction
speed.
• The material to be fed into the machine should only be wood that is free from
nails, screws etc.
• The machine should be positioned on dry, level ground in the proper upright
position and there must be no tripping or slipping hazards in the vicinity that
could cause harm to the operator.
• Make sure the blades are in good condition and secure.
• Check that all bolts are tight and secure, especially on the hopper and discharge
chute.
• Only use the chipper in adequate lighting (i.e. sunlight or sucient articial
light).
Operation Safety
• When operating the chipper, always wear gloves, ear protection, safety glasses
and appropriate clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
• The chipper should be operated by one person only. Any other bystanders must
always be at least 50 feet from the work area.
• Do not chip wood over the specied maximum diameter (50mm/2”).
• Do not chip seasoned wood, the chippers are designed for freshly cut soft and
hard wood.
• Do not operate the FM6DD inside or in a conned space; the exhaust from the
engine contains carbon monoxide which is poisonous.
• Never overload or attempt to chip woods beyond the manufacturer’s
recommendation. It could result in personal injury or damage to the machine.
• Never place any part of your body inside the feed hopper or the discharge chute.
Fragments of wood that have not self-fed into the machine should only be
pushed with other pieces of wood that you are feeding into the chipper.
• If the chipper gets jammed you must immediately stop the engine or motor.
• Obstructed fragments inside the hopper should only be removed when the motor
is turned o and the drum has stopped rotating.
• Never leave the chipper unattended while the motor is running.
• Never move in front of the discharge chute.
• Ensure no wood fragments remain inside the chipper when turning it o.
• Always take into account the time delay needed from switching the machine o
for the knife drum to come to a halt.
Safety Instructions
Forest Master Model: FM6DD/FM4DDE6
• If the machine starts to make an unusual noise or vibrate, shut down the engine,
disconnect the spark plug wire (FM6DD) or plug socket (FM4DDE), wait 5 minutes
for the engine or motor to cool down, then inspect for damage. Vibration is
generally a warning of trouble. Check damaged parts and clean, repair and/or
replace as necessary.
• If the machine topples over during operation, immediately turn o the engine or
motor and for the FM4DDE model, disconnect the power cable.
• When using the FM4DDE, always use with a circuit that has an RCD to prevent the
chance of an electric shock.
Safety with Maintenance
• Inspection and maintenance must be done with the motor and driving unit
switched o and the spark plug (FM6DD) or power cable (FM4DDE) disconnected.
Wait 5 minutes for the engine or motor to cool down.
• Any worn or damaged parts must be replaced, to ensure that the chipper
is maintained and in a safe state. Only use Forest Master spare parts for
replacements. Contact us to arrange.
• Never use the wood chipper with damaged or worn cables.
• Never, under any conditions, remove, bend, cut, t, weld or otherwise alter
standard parts on the wood chipper. This includes all shields and guards.
Modications to your machine could cause personal injuries and property
damage and will invalidate your warranty.
• Never use a pressure washer or running water to clean the chipper. This might
lead to water ingress in the engine or the bearings (invalid warranty). Do not use
any aggressive cleaning products.
• Never transport the chipper with the motor still running.
• Prior to transport, use appropriate xing materials to fasten the chipper to the
xing points on the load surface.
• Prior to storing the machine, make sure that it has been restored to a sucient
state (i.e. clean and free from debris). Apply oil to the knives, the knife drum
and the bearings to protect them from corrosion. This is especially the case for
storage during long periods of inactivity of the appliance.
• Store the machine in a dry, closed room, out of children’s reach.

Safety
Safety with Petrol (FM6DD)
Petrol is a highly ammable liquid. Petrol also gives o ammable vapour that can
be easily ignited and cause a re or explosion. Never overlook the hazards of petrol.
Always follow these precautions:
• Never run the engine in an enclosed area or without proper ventilation as the
exhaust from the engine contains carbon monoxide, which is an odourless,
tasteless and a deadly poisonous gas.
• Store all fuel and oil in containers specically designed and approved for this
purpose and keep away from heat, open ame and the reach of children.
• Replace rubber fuel lines and grommets when worn or damaged and after 5
years of use.
• Fill the petrol tank outdoors with the engine o and allow the engine to cool
completely. Don’t handle gasoline if you or anyone nearby is smoking, or if
you’re near anything that could cause it to ignite or explode. Re-install the fuel
tank cap and fuel container cap securely.
• If you spill petrol, do not attempt to start the engine. Move the machine away
from the area of the spill and avoid creating any source of ignition until the gas
vapours have dissipated. Wipe up any fuel to prevent re hazard and properly
dispose of the waste.
• Allow the engine to cool completely before storing in any enclosure. Never store
a machine that has gas in the tank, or a fuel container, near an open ame or
spark such as a water heater, space heater, clothes dryer or furnace.
• Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine running. Shut down the
engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, keeping it away from the spark plug
to prevent accidental starting, wait 5 minutes before making adjustments or
repairs.
• Never tamper with the engine’s governor setting. The governor controls the
safe operation speed and protects the engine. Over-speeding the engine is
dangerous and will cause damage to the engine and to the other moving parts
of the machine. If required, see your authorised dealer for engine governor
adjustments.
• Keep combustible substances away from the engine when it is hot.
• Never cover the machine while the exhaust is still hot.
• Do not operate the engine with the air cleaner or carburettor air intake cover
removed. Removal of such parts could create a re hazard. Do not use ammable
solutions to clean the air lter.
• The exhaust and engine become very hot and can cause a severe burn; do not
touch.
This list of warnings and cautions cannot be all-inclusive. If situations occur
that are not covered by this manual, the operator must apply common sense
and operate the wood chipper in a safe manner. Contact the dealers for
assistance in your area.
