GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE
What can happen:
¥ Spilled petrol and its vapours can become ignited from cigarette sparks, electrical arcing,
exhaust gases and hot engine components such as the muffler.
¥ Heat will expand fuel in the tank which could result in a fire.
¥ Operating the tool in an explosive environment could result in a fire.
¥ Muffler exhaust heat can damage painted surfaces, melt any materials sensitive to heat
(such as siding plastic, rubber or vinyl) and damage live plants. Keep hot tool away from
other objects.
6
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS (cont.)
¥ Improperly stored fuel could lead to accidental ignition. Fuel improperly secured could get
into the hands of children or other unqualified persons.
How to prevent it:
¥ Shut off engine and allow it to cool before adding fuel to the tank.
¥ Use care when filling the tank to avoid spilling fuel. Move tool away from fuelling area
before starting engine.
¥ Keep maximum fuel level 20mm below top of tank to allow for expansion.
¥ Operate and refuel in well ventilated areas free from obstructions. Never re-fuel indoors.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) Work area
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b)
Do not operate petrol tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a petrol tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
petrol tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as a
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key
that is left attached to a rotating part of the petrol tool may result in personal injury.
d) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the petrol tool in unexpected situations.
e) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
f) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities
ensure that these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce
dust-related hazards.

Preparation
1) Do not allow children to operate this equipment;
2) Do not operate this equipment in the vicinity of bystanders;
3) Do not run engine powered machines in an enclosed area since the exhaust from an engine contains
carbon monoxide, which is colourless, odourless, and tasteless; carbon monoxide can be extremely
dangerous in enclosed areas;
4) Wear ear protection and safety glasses at all times while operating the machine;
5) Avoid wearing clothing that is loose fitting or that has hanging cords or ties;

WOOD CHIPPER SAFETY WARNINGS
6) Only operate the machine in open space (e.g. not close to a wall or other fixed object) and on a firm,
level surface;
7) Do not operate the machine on a paved or gravel surface where ejected material could cause injury;
8) Before starting the machine, check that all screws, nuts, bolts, and other fasteners are properly secured
and that guards and screens are in place. Replace damaged or unreadable labels;
9) Use extra care in handling fuels. They are flammable and the vapours are explosive. The following
points should be observed:
− Use only an approved container;
− Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel with the power source running. Allow engine and exhaust
components to cool before refuelling;
− Do not smoke;
− Never refuel the machine indoors;
− Never store the machine or fuel container inside where there is an open flame, such as a water
heater;
− If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the power source, but move the machine away from the area
of spillage before starting;
− Always replace and securely tighten the fuel cap after refuelling;
− If the fuel tank is drained, this should be done outdoors.
Operation
1) Before starting the machine, look into the feeding chamber to make certain that it is empty;
2) Keep your face and body away from the feed intake opening;
3) Do not allow hands or any other part of the body or clothing inside the feeding chamber, discharge
chute, or near any moving part;
4) Keep proper balance and footing at all times. Do not overreach. Never stand at a higher level than the
base of the machine when feeding material into it;
5) Always stand clear of the discharge zone when operating this machine;
6) When feeding material into the machine be extremely careful that pieces of metal, rocks, bottles, cans
or other foreign objects are not included;
7) If the cutting mechanism strikes any foreign objects or if the machine should start making any unusual
noise or vibration, shut off the power source and allow the machine to stop. Disconnect the spark plug
wire from the spark plug (electric unit disconnect from supply) and take the following steps:
− Inspect for damage;
− Check for and tighten any loose parts ;
− Have any damaged parts replaced or repaired with parts having equivalent specifications.
8) Do not allow processed material to build up in the discharge zone; this may prevent proper discharge
and can result in kickback of material through the feed intake opening;
9) If the machine becomes clogged at the inlet opening or discharge chute shut-off the power source
and disconnect the spark plug wire or remove the ignition key before clearing debris in the inlet
opening or discharge chute. Keep the power source clear of debris and other accumulations
to prevent damage to the power source or possible fire. Remember that operating the starting
mechanism on engine powered machines will still cause the cutting means to move;
10) Keep all guards and deflectors in place and in good working condition;
11) Do not tamper with the power source governor settings; the governor controls the safe maximum
operating speed and protects the power source and all moving parts from damage caused by overspeed. Seek authorised service if a problem exists;
12) Do not transport this machine while the power source is running;
13) Shut off the power source and disconnect the spark plug lead (electric unit disconnect from supply)
