Wood chippers are usually composed of multiple parts, and different types of wood chippers have different powers to help you deal with different scenarios. If you are interested in the classification of wood cutting machines, this article will help you:

• Read To Know What Is Wood Chipper

Most people associate wood chipping machines with different types of wood, but there are many other materials that can be put into the machine for chipping work.

But are these materials really safe to shred? Should you really put these in your machine? In this article, I'll show you what to put in and what not to.

At the same time, I will also show you how to use the wood chipper safely and how to protect the performance of the wood cutting machine.

What you can put in a wood chipper

Maybe you can put these things in your machine, you'd better follow your guide before putting it, I need to give everyone a warning and a disclaimer, no matter what anyone says, always follow your manual.

If your wood chipper doesn't have the following materials as what you should put in the machine, please don't do it! If something goes wrong, the responsibility is yours.

• Leaves

If you want to put leaves into a wood chipper, then you need to make sure your wood chipper has a separate shredding function. If you put the leaves in a machine that does not have a shredding function, the machine will cause a malfunction.

So when you want to put leaves in the chipper, go to your manual to see if the machine can handle the item, or you'll just damage your machine.

• Wet wood

When it rains, many branches are often blown down, and your garden may be cluttered at this time. So when you want to clean your yard, you need to first determine what your machine is powered by.

Usually, electric generators are more difficult to handle wet wood and can pose some safety hazards. So you'd better wait until the wood is dry after rain before cleaning your garden.

Not just wet wood, be vigilant when you put other wet items!

What you can not put in a wood chipper

Following the manufacturer's guidelines is not only for your safety, but also to keep your machine in top working order.

People are curious and sometimes want to try and chop up a lot of things that aren't part of a wood chipper's job, and end up hurting themselves. Here are the items you should not put in the wood chipper, please pay attention!

• Bamboo

Bamboo is a very hard natural material. Although it is very durable, wood chipping machines cannot break down such a strong material. And if you try to use the machine to handle this item, it may cause damage to the machine.
