Over-heating results, burning out the engine. • Chipping dead wood or lumber and not sharpening the knives more often. • Forcing branches down the chipper when the knives are dull and not self-feeding. • The occasional, if accidental, railroad spike, brick, 2 x 4, barbed wire, and/or gardening tool “down the hatch” routine. .
