The BX Wood Chipper is a strong, rugged machine
that is built to a straight-forward design which
provides consistent chipping of logs.
Capacity:
5" (13cm) in diameter for the BX52S.
Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE)
whenever operating the machine. This includes but
is not limited to a hard hat, protective shoes with slip
resistant soles, protective goggles or face shield,
heavy gloves, hearing protection and protective
clothing.
Do not place metal, bottles, cans, rocks, glass
or other solid material into the wood chipper. If
something like this gets into the machine, stop the
machine immediately for a detailed inspection.
If opening up any guards for inspection, always put
the machine in Safe Condition:
• disengage the PTO
• shut off the engine
• ensure all components have stopped moving
• remove and pocket the ignition key
• block & chock the wheels
• set rotor lock if required.
Inspect machine for damaged or loosened parts,
repair or replace parts as required before resuming
work.
a. Delimb large branches and trees, the limbs
on the branches may catch the roller feed
control bar as they pass by them and shut
the rollers off.
b. Be aware of the size and shape of the
material, crotchety, curved branches and logs
can move in unpredictable ways as they pass
through the feed rollers. Large curved pieces
should be cut to smaller straighter sections.
c. Hold small diameter branches / limbs together
in a bundle and feed in simultaneously.
d. Place short branches on top of longer ones,
to avoid reaching into the hopper.
e. Before beginning to feed, ensure the motor
is warmed up and the rotor is up to speed.
f. Move the feed control bar into the feed
position to start the feed rollers turning
g. Stand to the side of the feed table, slowly slide
material into the feed table and move it into
the feed rollers.
4.10.4 CHIPPING OPERATION
Z94120
h. Do not force the material into the rollers, as
the material engages the roller, the roller will
draw the material in.
i. Ensure your wood chip pile is contained and
doesn't affect the immediate work area.
Caution: Do not reach into the feed
hopper at any time, use a stick or branch
to push any piece of material into the
rollers that does not move on its own. If the jam
persists then stop the engine and wait for the rotor
to stop and then clear the jam.
Do not chance getting your hand caught in
the rollers.
4.10.5 OPERATING HINTS:
1. Delimb branches that are greater than 1"
(2.5cm) before you feed them into the hopper.
This will prevent the tree from jamming in the
feed hopper and prevent feeding.
2. When feeding large bushy branched material,
have some one positioned at the roller control
bar to keep branches from hitting the roller
control bar and deactivating the rollers.
3. Line up the chipper to the material to feed
straight in to the feed table, loading will be easier
and limit the amount of material handling time.
4. Keep the working area clean and free of debris
to prevent slipping or tripping. Operate only on
level ground.
