SAFETY PROCEDURES
SAFETY PROCEDURES
DANGER
The words Danger, Warning, Caution, and
Notice are used on the safety decals and throughout
this manu al, to make you aware of the safety
procedures. These procedures are very important,
read and obey them.
YOUR SAFETY IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US!
This machine is equipped with safety decals, guards
and designs for your protection.
Don’t ever take the machine for granted, always
be ca utiou s and car eful whe n opera ting yo ur
equipment.
Read and follow all the instructions in your manual
thoroughly. Your safety is dependent on your knowledge
of how to operate and maintain this machine. You may
obtain additional copies of this manual from your Bandit
Dealer.
Before operating machine, you must have all potential
operators; read and understand manuals and decals,
watch the video and follow the recommendations.
Regardless of how hard a manufacturer tries to
produce a safe machine, accidents still happen.
Normally accidents are caused by people making
mistakes. They do not read the manual, they ignore
warning decals or do not use lockouts provided for
their safety. This normally happens after the person
has become accustomed to the machinery. In the
initial start up and operation of the machinery, they
are cautious, they are very careful because they do
not understand the machine.
This equipment is intended for use by personnel
who are experienced with similar equipment. Always
operate safely. There should be at least two qualied
and trained operators at the work site. They should
be positioned in safe working locations, following
safety procedures and instructions, and aware of each
others whereabouts. There should, also, be at least
two people on site during maintenance and service
procedures in case an accident should occur. Never
operate any machine while under the inuence of drugs
or alcohol.
Keep children, bystanders and animals clear of
working area. Never operate equipment that is in need
of repair or adjustment.
DANGER
Before starting the machine, take a minute to check
a few things. The machine should be in an area
restricted from people passing by. This area around
the machine must be free of all objects that can obstruct
your movement when working with the machine. The
machine should be checked for loose tools or foreign
objects, especially in the infeed hopper area. All tools
not in use should be secured in a tool box.
WARNING
Operators must at all times be located within easy
reach of all controls and shut-off devices when the unit
is running. They must be attentive and prepared to
activate the devices.

SAFETY PROCEDURES
DANGER
Always block the tires while the machine is in use
for operational stabilization.
DANGER
Pay attention to the direction of the discharge chute
before chipping. Never stand in front of the chipper
discharge chute. Never direct the chute towards
anyone or anything that could cause an accident or
problems. Always stop chipping and warn anyone
that comes near the discharge area. Failure to do this
could result in severe injury. Wood chips ying out of
the discharge chute can be very dangerous!
DANGER

on this machine while it is running, operating, or in
transit. You will be injured.
WARNING
It is very important after you have operated a new
machine for approximately an hour to shut down the
machine and recheck all nuts and bolts. It is normal
for nuts and bolts to loosen once on a new piece of
machinery. If you tighten them now, there is a good
possibility they won’t loosen again. Certain nuts and
bolts should be checked periodically such as anvil and
knife nuts and bolts, etc. for torque and t.
Most of the nuts used on the machine are self locking.
After a nut or bolt has been removed ve times, it
should be replaced to insure proper tightness. This is
especially critical on the chipper knife nuts and bolts!
After the engine is started, let the chipper disc/drum
turn at the lowest RPM’s possible. Listen for any type
of noise that is foreign. Any steel on steel noise is
foreign. If you hear a noise, stop the engine, nd the
problem and x it.
DANGER
DO NOT operate this machine indoors! Exhaust
fumes can be fatal. Never refuel while the machine is
running. Never refuel in the shop or building. Always
refuel in a well ventilated area, away from sparks or
open ames, DO NOT SMOKE. Extinguish all smoking
materials. Wipe up all spilled fuel before restarting the
engine. Do not ll above 1/2” (12.7mm) from top of
tank.
To obtain the most from your machine, for the least
amount of cost, it is a good practice to set up and follow
a scheduled preventative maintenance program. It will
eliminate many possible problems and down time.
