Instructions

- 1
  Read the instructions for your chipper thoroughly. Even if you've used a wood chipper previously, don't assume they all operate in the same way.
- 2
  Locate reverse and emergency stop buttons prior to operation.
- 3
  Look for and remove metal or stones before feeding branches, as these can dull the blades.
- 4
  Stand to the side of the wood chipper to feed in the branches.
- 5
  Feed large branches into the machine feeder by the butt end first.
- 6
  Use large branches or a pusher tool if your machine has one. Never reach inside the feeder to push down branches or to clear jams.
- 7
  Place short branches on top of the longer branches to feed them into the chipper.
