Wear safety glasses at all times when operating the
machine. Do not wear loose fitting clothing. The opera-
tor should always wear heavy boots, gloves, pants and
shirt. use common sense and practice safety to protect
yourself from branches, sharp objects and other harm-
ful objects.
noTe
The heavy rotor will continue to turn for some time after
the engine or tractor has been shut off. you can tell
that the rotor has stopped when no noise or machine
vibration is present. Inserting a branch into the chipper
chute to contact the blades will slow the rotor and shorten
stopping time.
