So the moral of this tale is

 

Do not enter the chipper discharge area while the chipper is running

 

Had a premier 550 throw a set of blades in to a chip box, stuck chunks into a sheet of 10mm ply

 

Scared the bejesus out of me.

One of our guys after being told not to chip up rotten fence posts even if all of the metal has been removed put a 6 inch straining post through our TW150. We just had the blades sharpened up and they were trashed within 5 minutes of use as the muppet put the straining post thru with the wire n staples still on the post. His excuse was "I thought it was a shredder. I thought it could take metal going through it." He helped me put the sharpened blades on the prune. Needless to say i was not amused and neither was the boss. I had to use bolt croppers to remove the wire from the feed rollers and a big chunk of stock fencing wire from the axle of the flywheel. A few F's n B's were thrown his way during his rollocking.
