Mike thank you so much for the reply,it did help. I guess I should of also said I got it USED and it did not come with any paper work,The only thing that came with it was a girl that help with the chipping, and she did not know anything about it.But she dose work good and looks Great.

Where the hell can you get a chipper like that from (with a good looking nd hard working female)? Go on tell us, I'm all ears!

I think you focus more on the girl than the chipper nd that's where your problem is. Am I getting the right picture or is my imagination's running wild?

Maybe she was ment to be your manual!

The blades will do 63.8% of the pulling on softer wood. As the wood gets harder, the blades do increasingly more of the pulling. Maxing out at 71.5% when used with dried oak. Unless your model had the optional titanium coated blades. I do not know the balance on those.

There was a man in my town who was pulled into a wood chipper (he's dead of course). I think his glove got snagged on a branch. I would not advise pushing anything into one of these. Does yours have a plate that you stand on that has a switch to power the unit? If not, its too dangerous to use. Being distracted by a female does not help either. Better think this over!

Older chippers have a pair of drums carrying the chipper teeth. These drums also pull the branch into the chipper.

Newer, safer, chippers have a disk which does the chipping and a pair of drums that do the pulling. Material is pulled into the chipper in a more controlled manner and these chippers have a safety bar across the infeed that shuts off the feed it you hit it.

Hello contaxman,

Are you able to tell me the Model Number please?
