BASIC WOODCHIPPING SAFETY

The operator should be aware of the following points:

MAINTAIN A SAFETY EXCLUSION ZONE around the chipper of at least 10 metres for the

general public or employees without adequate protection. Use hazard tape to identify this

working area and keep it clear from debris build up. Chips should be ejected away from any

area the general public have access to.

HAZARDOUS MATERIAL - Some species of trees and bushes are poisonous. The chipping

action can produce vapour, spray and dust that can irritate the skin. This may lead to

respiratory problems or even cause serious poisoning. Check the material to be chipped before

you start. Avoid confined spaces and use a facemask if necessary.

BE AWARE when the chipper is processing material that is an awkward shape. The material can

move from side to side in the funnel with great force. If the material extends beyond the funnel,

the brash may push you to one side causing danger. Badly twisted brash should be trimmed

before being chipped to avoid thrashing in the feed funnel.

BE AWARE that the chipper can eject chips out of the feed funnel with considerable force. Always

wear full head and face protection.

ALWAYS work on the side of the machine furthest from any local danger, e.g. not road side.

WARNING

SAFE WORKING

The chipper will feed material through on its own. To do this, it relies on sharp

blades both on the feed rollers and the chipper rotor. To keep the blades sharp,

only feed the machine with clean brushwood. DO NOT put muddy/dirty wood,

roots, potted plants, bricks, stones or metal into the chipper.

OPERATOR'S PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

Chainsaw safety helmet fitted

with mesh visor and

recommended ear defenders to

the appropriate specifications.

Work gloves with elasticated

wrist.

Close fitting heavy-duty

non-snag clothing.

Face mask if

appropriate.

DO NOT

wear rings, bracelets, watches,

jewellery or any other items that

could be caught in the material

and draw you into the chipper.

Steel toe cap safety boots.

GENERAL SAFETY MATTERS

DO’S AND DON’TS

DO NOT operate chipper unless available light is

sufficient to see clearly.

DO NOT use or attempt to start the chipper

securely in place.

DO NOT stand directly in front of the feed funnel

when using the chipper. Stand to one side.

DO NOT allow -

DO NOT smoke when refuelling.

DO NOT let anyone who has not received

instruction operate the machine.

DO NOT climb on the machine at any time.

DO NOT handle material that is partially engaged

in the machine.

DO NOT touch any exposed wiring while machine

is running.

DO NOT use the chipper inside buildings.

- to enter the machine, as damage is likely.

ALWAYS stop the chipper engine before making

any adjustments, refuelling or cleaning.

ALWAYS check rotor has stopped rotating and

remove chipper ignition key before maintenance

of any kind, or whenever the machine is to be left

unattended.

ALWAYS check the machine is well supported and

cannot move.

ALWAYS operate the chipper with the engine set

to maximum speed when chipping.

ALWAYS check (visually) for fluid leaks.

ALWAYS take regular breaks. Wearing personal

protective equipment for long periods can be

tiring and hot.

ALWAYS keep hands, feet and clothing out of feed

opening, discharge and moving parts.

ALWAYS use the next piece of material or a push

stick to push in short pieces. Under no

circumstances should you reach into the funnel.

ALWAYS keep the operating area clear of people,

animals and children.

ALWAYS keep the operating area clear from

debris build up.

ALWAYS keep clear of the chip discharge tube.

Foreign objects may be ejected with great force.

ALWAYS ensure protective guarding is in place

before commencing work. Failure to do so may

result in personal injury or loss of life.

ALWAYS operate the chipper in a well ventilated

area - exhaust fumes are dangerous.

DELIVERY

OPERATOR’S PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

STARTING THE ENGINE

TURN the fuel valve to the ‘ON’ position.

MOVE the choke lever to the ‘CLOSE’ position. NOTE: Do not use the choke if the engine is

warm or the air temperature is high.

MOVE the throttle control lever slightly to the left.

TURN the ignition switch to the ‘ON’ position.

PULL the starter handle lightly until resistance is felt, then pull briskly.

CAUTION: Do not allow the starter handle to snap back against the engine. Return it gently

to prevent damage to the recoil mechanism.

AS the engine warms up, gradually move the choke lever to the ‘OPEN’ position.

POSITION the throttle control lever for the desired engine speed.

MANUAL CONTROLS

TIMBERWOLF

TW 13/75G

9OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Turn the ignition switch to the 'Off' position (as shown above).

EMERGENCY STOPPING

STOPPING THE ENGINE

MOVE the throttle control lever to idle and allow to run for one minute.

TURN the fuel valve to the ‘OFF’ position.

LOCATE the machine on firm level ground.

CHECK engine oil level.

CHECK the fuel valve is open.

CHECK all guards are in place.

CHECK the discharge unit is pointing in a safe direction.

CHECK the feed funnel to ensure no objects are inside.

For parts location see diagrams on pages 3 & 4.

DAILY CHECKS BEFORE STARTING

CHECK that the chipper is running smoothly.

STAND to one side of the feed funnel.

PROCEED to feed material into the feed funnel.

Wood up to 75 mm in diameter can be fed into the feed funnel. Enter it into the funnel butt end first.

Release the material before it engages the rotor. Some pieces of wood may move around significantly

whilst being chipped.

The wood will be drawn into the cutting blade quite quickly, be ready for this to happen. Stand well clear.

A piece of wood which is too tough or too large for the chipper will slow the engine down. When this

happens it is possible to hold back the branches that are being chipped and allow the engine to regain

its speed again.

If a piece of wood gets stuck in the funnel and it cannot be chipped due to its size or shape, it will need

to be removed. Trim the branch until it is a suitable shape for the chipper to accept.

STARTING TO CHIP

CHIPPING

WARNING Do not use or attempt to start the chipper without the protective

guarding and discharge unit securely in place. Failure to do so may

result in personal injury or loss of life.
