Assembly

Tools required for assembly (not supplied):

•6 mm Allen key –to secure the wheels to the axles

•13 mm spanner –to secure the rubber feet to the legs of the machine

•Square drive bit with drill/driver –to separate the chaff cutter from the

pallet

The chaff cutter will come with two wheels detached from the shafts, and a pack

containing a number of fasteners:

1. Two m8x16 hex bolts

2. Two m8x20 cap screws

3. Four m8 spring washers

4. Two large m8 washers

5. Two small m8 washers

6. Two rubber feet

Steps to assemble the chaff cutter

Using a 13mm spanner, fasten the rubber feet to the bottom of the

front legs of the machine. Use an m8x16 bolt (item no. 1), spring

washer (item no. 3) and small washer (item no. 5) to fasten each

foot.

Using a 6 mm Allen key, fasten the wheels to the axles on the

bottom of the back legs of the machine. Use an m8x20 cap screw

(item no. 1), spring washer (item no. 3) and large washer (item no.

4) to fasten each wheel to the axles. Ensure the air valve is facing

outward.

Safety

Preventing accidents is the responsibility of every equipment operator. Ensure every operator is familiar with the safe operation

procedures of the machinery, how to identify hazards and the steps required to avoid injury while handling and operating the

machine. Relevant information is contained in this manual.

Do NOT modify the design of the chaff cutter

Operator competency

Only people over the age of 16 are to operate the chaff cutter. Ensure that every person operating the chaff cutter understands

and follows the safe operating procedures as specified in this manual.

Do NOT allow persons to operate the machine without full and proper instruction in the use and safe operation of the

chaff cutter and maintenance as detailed in this manual.

Hansa F3 Chaff Cutter O&M Manual - OM-016 Revision B 14/05/2019

Ambient Conditions

Only use the chaff cutter in an environment that is between -5°C and 40°C. Do not use the chaff cutter in the rain or in wet

environments. Processing wet material may result in blockages inside the machine.

Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate machines in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Machines

create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a machine. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

a) Machine plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)

machines. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased

risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose machines to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a machine will increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the machine. Keep cord away from heat, oil,

sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a machine outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use

reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a machine in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD

reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a machine. Do not use a machine while you are

tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating machines may result in

serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety

shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack,

picking up or carrying the machine. Carrying machines with your finger on the switch or energising machines that have the switch

on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the machine on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the

machine may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the machine in unexpected

situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes,

jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly

used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of machines allow you to become complacent and ignore machine safety

principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

Machine use and care

a) Do not force the machine. Use the correct machine for your application. The correct machine will do the job better and safer at

the rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the machine if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any machine that cannot be controlled with the switch is

dangerous and must be repaired.

Hansa F3 Chaff Cutter O&M Manual - OM-016 Revision B 14/05/2019

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the machine before making

any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing machines. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the

machine accidentally.

d) Store idle machines out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the machine or these instructions

to operate the machine. Machines are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain machines and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other

condition that may affect the machine’s operation. If damaged, have the machine repaired before use. Many accidents are

caused by poorly maintained machines.

f) Keep cutting machines sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting machines with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind

and are easier to control.

g) Use the machine, accessories and machine bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working

conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the machine for operations different from those intended could result in a

hazardous situation.

h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow

for safe handling and control of the machine in unexpected situations.

Service

a) Have your machine serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety

of the machine is maintained.

Identifying hazards and risks

Identify hazards and risks, and take preventative steps to avoid accidents and minimise risk. Possible hazards include, but are not

limited to, moving parts, thrown objects, weight of chaff cutter and components, and the operating environment.

Inside the feed chute past the safety screen

Inside or near the outlet area

Near any moving part

Remove any guards on the machine unless its cable is unplugged from an electrical outlet

Leave the chaff cutter connected to a power supply while it is unattended

Power supply

The F3 chaff cutter requires a 220-240V AC 50Hz earthed power connection. The chaff cutter is rated at 8.4 A. It is recommended

that the chaff cutter is only connected to a power socket which is protected by a circuit-breaker that would activate with a residual

current not more than 30 mA. It is also recommended that the chaff cutter is always used with an RCD (residual current device)

having a rated residual current of 30 mA or less. Always check and test your RCD every time you use it.

If extension cords are used, they must meet these requirements:

Rated at 10 A minimum

Minimum conductor cross section is 1.0 mm2

Maximum length of all cords connected must be less than 40 m

Comply with H05VV-F or H07VV-F

Be in good condition

Used away from sharp edges and water

Ensure the power supply cable is kept away from moving hazardous parts

Ensure the power supply cable is kept away from any sources of water

If the power supply cable becomes damaged, do NOT attempt to operate the chaff cutter

Before proceeding, ensure the ‘safe setup procedure’ has been followed on page 3 of this

manual.

Start/Stop

Plug the power supply cable into a suitable power socket.

To start the chaff cutter, press the green power button on the control panel.

To stop the chaff cutter, press the red power button on the control panel.

Forward/Reverse

To change from forward to reverse operation (or vise-versa), flick the rotary switch either

left or right to the desired setting. While set to reverse, the green power button must be

held down in order to run the machine. Note that there is also a time delay of 3 seconds

when switching the feed direction to allow the motor to slow down before switching

direction.

Emergency stop

The F3 Chaff cutter comes with an emergency stop, which acts as an immediate kill

switch to the machine. To engage the emergency stop, push the red button. To

disengage the emergency stop, twist the red button clockwise until it releases outwards.

Use it when foreign matter such as sand, stones, woody material or metal enter

the inlet of the machine

Use it in response to an immediate hazard/danger to an operator or onlooker

Inspect the machine before resetting the emergency stop

Storage

Store the chaff cutter out of the reach of children

Store the chaff cutter out of the rain

Water can rust the steel body of the chaff cutter

If necessary, the inlet chute of the machine can be folded down for storage. To do so, undo the wingnut (anticlockwise)

on the outside of the machine, lift the inlet chute up slightly while pushing forward on the wingnut, then drop the inlet.

To raise the inlet back up to its operating position, lift the inlet up until the wingnut clicks into place, then tighten

(clockwise) the wingnut to secure it in place.

Transportation

The F3 Chaff Cutter is designed to be moved by one person using the handles at the top of the inlet chute to lean the machine

backwards and transfer its weight onto the wheels. The chaff cutter can then be wheeled to and from the work location.

Ensure the power supply cable is properly secured when moving the chaff cutter around

Do NOT use the wheels to move the chaff cutter up and down stairs or kerbs.

Take care when wheeling the chaff cutter up slopes. The mass of the machine is approximately 150 kg.

For long distance transport by means of a vehicle, the chaff cutter has two tie-down points on both the front and back of the

machine. When using a strap to secure the machine, ensure the straps are sufficiently tight around these points, but not too tight

so as to flex the body of the chaff cutter.
