washed away with large amounts of water. Make sure that you do not wash the

electrolyte to another part of the face or body.

1.59 Gasses from charging batteries are highly flammable and great care should be taken

to charge in well ventilated areas.

1.59.1 There is an explosion risk if the battery terminals are short circuited, when

connecting / 0dis-connecting ALWAYS exercise great care so that the terminals or

battery leads are NOT allowed to touch and cause a spark. ALWAYS use suitable

insulated tools.

1.60 Vibrations (where applicable).

1.61 Prolonged use of hand held (operated) machines will cause the user to feel the

effects of/from vibrations. These vibrations can lead to white finger (Raynaud’s

phenomenon) or carpal tunnel syndrome. This condition reduces the ability of the

hand to feel and regulate temperature, causing numbness and heat sensations and

may cause nerve damage and circulatory tissue death.

1.62 Not all factors that lead to white finger disease are known, but cold weather, smoking

and other diseases that affect blood vessels and blood circulation as well as large

and long-lasting impact of shocks are considered factors in the formation of white

finger. Note the following to reduce the risk the white finger and carpal tunnel syndrome:

1.63 Wear gloves and keep your hands warm

1.64 Take regular breaks

1.65 All of the above precautions may help reduce the risk of white finger disease but not

rule out carpal tunnel syndrome. Long-term and regular users are therefore

recommended to observe the condition of your hands and fingers. Seek medical

attention immediately if any of the above symptoms should occur.

7

1.70 Noise (where applicable).

1.71 The operating noise of the machine can damage your hearing. Wear hearing

protection such as earplugs or ear defenders to protect your hearing. Long- term and

regular users are advised to have hearing checked regularly. Be especially vigilant

and cautious when wearing hearing protection because your ability to hear alarm

warnings will be reduced.

1.72 Noise emissions for this equipment is unavoidable. Carry out noisy work at approved

times and for certain periods. Limit the working time to a minimum. For your personal

protection and protection of people working nearby it is also advisable for them to

wear hearing protection.

1.73 See CERTIFICATE of CONFORMITY section for Outdoor Noise declaration of

conformity.

1.80 Machine specific safety.

1.81 Working with the chipper - The chipper is designed solely for chipping all kinds of

newly cut tree branches of diameters up to 100 mm for HYCH1500E-2 or 70mm for

HYCH7070[E]-2

1.90 Usage restrictions.

1.91 You should NOT use the chipper for chipping metal, stones, and plastics and other

hard materials that may damage your machine. If you are going to chip tree roots

check that the diameter is less than 70 / 100mm and remove all earth, sand, stones

etc.

1.92 After the first hour’s use check that the bolts of the blades and counter blade are firm

ly fixed and that the gap between blades and counter blade is 1 - 2mm adjust as

required.

1.A Description of machine - This chipper is a machine for chipping newly cut wood.

1.A1 The rotor has 2 blades each with a 300 mm width and is powered by a petrol engine.

Transmission is through two parallel drive belts. The chips of wood are discharged

through the discharge chute by the centrifugal force of the rotor. Because of the angle

of the blades and the positioning of the counter blade branches are pulled inside the

machine automatically. Side branches greater than 30mm should be sawn off before

loading into machine.

1.B Safety notes.

1.B1 The user of this machine MUST be over 18 years of age.

1.B2 The machine should be positioned on a firm and level surface.

1.B3 The user MUST wear safety gloves, ear-protection and safety goggles - not supplied

with machine.

1.B4 When working in a confined area, always make sure there is sufficient space around

the machine to reduce the risk of injury and there is good ventilation from exhaust

fumes.

1.B5 Only one person at a time should operate the machine.

1.B6 Pieces jamming the feed hopper can only be removed safely when the engine has

been stopped and the spark plug HT lead disconnected.

1.B7 If necessary, unbolt and tip the feed hopper and output chute to facilitate access to

the rotor. Use a wooden pole to remove pieces stuck in the rotor. NEVER under any

circumstances use your hands to remove stuck wood.

1.B8 NEVER leave the machine running whilst unattended.

1.B9 Changing the blades of the rotor or the counter blade and checking blade bolts

should only be done when the engine and rotor are stopped and the spark plug

HT lead is disconnected.

1.B11 Use only original parts for maintaining your chipper, otherwise the warranty will be

void.

1.B12 The chipper should ONLY be repaired by a skilled dealer / service-point.

1.B13 When in operation the chipper’s noise will exceed 90 dB (A). Therefore all users and

onlookers must wear ear-protection.

This series of highly efficient wood chippers have been designed with safety protection, reliability

and long operating life in mind. Main body parts are all made from high quality steel, blades are

made from high speed steel HSS, sharp cutting edges from hardened steel for durability and effi-

ciency.

The machine consists of main body 1, Feed hopper 9, discharge chute 10, wheels 2, front leg 4,

please see diagram. The chipping cylinder, belt drive and engine are all mounted to the main body.

Operating instructions and warnings

Please read carefully and understand the engine instruction manual before use.

The engine is shipped from factory without lubricant and fuel.

The HYCH1500E-2 requires 1.1L of 10w30 or 15w40 engine oil and the HYCH7070[E]-2 requires

0.6L of 10w30 or 15w40 engine oil.

On initial start-up, run the machine for 5 minutes without feeding any wood into it to warm the

engine up and allow the belts to bed in. Do not overload the machine by forcing too much or too

large diameter wood into the hopper.

Keep minors away from the machine.

Do not put hands or other body parts into hopper.

Do not get close to the discharge chute, the chips are expelled from discharge chute at high speed

and may cause injury.

If the machine produces abnormal vibration or unusual noises, immediately turn the machine off

and check it.

If the machine is failing to cut properly the blades may need to sharpened or adjusted, the blade

clearance should be 1-2mm.

Choice of chipping material: Fresh cut tree branches can be chipped directly. Due to different

hardness and moisture content, the engine may slow midway or the machine body may shake

during chipping, if this happens, reduce the amount of wood being fed into the hopper. The

recommended maximum chipping capacity is for soft wood, for hardwood the maximum chipping

diameter should be reduced by 30%. The ideal chipping for this machine is suitable for fresh cut

with 80% moisture content plant. During the chipping process, you should obey the rule: largest

diameter first followed by the smaller branches. In order to get good chipping, it’s better to put

branches and leaves together. Leaves and thin vegetation may not chip well. Do not feed in large

diameter logs.

Maintenance instructions

This series of machine requires regular greasing of the main cutting shaft bearings. See section 7.

secure – See section 3.03

4.01 Recoil starting procedure.

Set the ignition key switch on the key start module to the ON position or for recoil

only machines, switch to ON.

Check that the emergency STOP bar is not jammed in the STOP (down) position.

It should be up to start.

19

4.10 (cont) For COLD start move choke lever left to START position (LEFT)

Move the fuel tap right to the ON position (RIGHT). Move the throttle lever right to the

MIDDLE position.

N.B. For a WARM/HOT start you will not need to use full choke. If the engine is warm, use

half choke. If the engine is hot, do not use the choke. (Lever in RIGHT position)

COLD start refers to an engine that has not been run recently, hence the engine is cold.

Place one hand on the machine, and using the other hand pull the recoil until you

feel a resistance, then pull briskly. Repeat until machine starts. DO NOT let go of the

recoil handle instead return handle slowly. When the engine has started you need to

reduce the choke by slowly moving lever to the right to the RUN position if engine

falters move choke between START/RUN positions and adjust until engine runs

smoothly.
