General Safety

Operating this chipper safely is necessary to prevent or minimize the risk of

DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY

. Unsafe operation

can

create a number of hazards for you. Always take the following precautions when operating this chipper:

 Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people, their

property, and themselves.



Your MACKISSIC GRAVITY SELF FEEDING CHIPPER is a powerful tool, not a plaything. Exercise extreme caution at all

times. The design

of this machine is to chip wood. Do not use it for any other purpose.

 Know how to stop the chipper quickly; see “stopping the engine” in chapter 4.

 Operate this machine on a level surface only. Never operate your unit on a slippery, wet, muddy, or icy surface.

Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling.

 Keep your face and body back from the chipper hopper to avoid accidental bounce back of any material.

 When feeding material into the chipper hopper, be extremely careful that pieces of metal, rocks, or other foreign

objects are not included. Personal injury or damage to the machine could result.

 Never allow an accumulation of processed material to build up in the discharge area as this will prevent proper

discharge and can result in kickback from the chipper hopper.



Whenever you leave the operating position or if you have to remove processed material, leaves, or debris from the

machine,

always shut down the engine, wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop (the flywheel will

continue rotating for a while after the engine is shut down), disconnect spark plug wire, keeping it away from the

spark plug to prevent accidental starting, then wait 5 minutes before removing processed material, leaves, or debris

from the machine.

 Always stop the engine when moving the MACKISSIC GRAVITY SELF FEEDING CHIPPER.

 Keep combustible substances away from the engine when it is hot.

 Never cover the machine while the muffler is still hot.



See manufacturer’s instructions for proper operation and installation of accessories. Only use accessories approved by

MacKissic, Inc

 If the cutting mechanism strikes a foreign object or if your machine should start making an unusual noise or vibration,

shut down the engine, wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop (the flywheel will continue rotating for a

while after the engine is shut down), disconnect spark plug wire, keeping it away from the spark plug to prevent

accidental starting, then wait 5 minutes before inspecting for clogging or damage. Vibration is generally a warning of

trouble. Clean and repair and/or replace damaged parts.

 Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.

 Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic. Never carry passengers on your machine.

 Never overload or attempt to chip material beyond the manufacturer’s recommendation; see “using the chipper

hopper” in chapter 4. Personal injury or damage to the machine could result.



While using the MACKISSIC GRAVITY SELF FEEDING CHIPPER, don't hurry or take things for granted. When in

doubt about the

equipment or your surroundings, stop the machine and take the time to look things over.

 Never operate the machine when under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.

 Use the machine only in daylight.

 Keep all nuts and bolts tight and keep the equipment in good operating condition.
