EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES
Safety of the operator and bystanders is one of the main concerns in designing and developing a wood
chipper. However, every year accidents occur which could have been avoided by a few seconds of
thought and a more careful approach to handling equipment. You, the operator, can avoid many
accidents by observing the following precautions and insist those working with you, or for you, follow
them.
In order to provide a better view, certain photographs or illustrations in this manual may show an
assembly with a safety shield removed. However, equipment should never be operated in this condition.
Keep all shields in place. If shield removal becomes necessary for repairs, replace the shield prior to
use.
Replace any safety sign that is not readable or missing. Location of such safety signs are indicated in
this manual.
