FOREST MASTER ELECTRIC WOOD CHIPPER 4HP DIRECT DRIVE
The FM4DDE is a patented GB2008049.5 compact electric wood chipper capable of chipping wood up to 50mm (2 inches) in diameter. The FM4DDE’s 4hp 2800-watt electric motor can rotate the chipper drum at a maximum of 2800 rpm. This enables it to easily chip all kinds of freshly cut wood from hard to soft. It is a direct drive for better performance and this also means that there are no belts that you have to keep adjusting. Although it is a powerful 2800-watt electric motor, it still runs off standard 240v household mains electricity. The UK model of the wood chipper is fitted with a UK 3-pin plug and the EU model arrives fitted with an EU Plug.
The FM4DDE has twin reversible blades so that when one side becomes worn from use the blades can simply be turned around to use the second side. This saves the need for constant resharpening and effectively doubles the life of the blades. The lightweight and compact size of the chipper enables it to be extremely manoeuvrable and easy to store. Both the feed hopper and the discharge chute have a hinged chute design, enabling the user to access the drum for quick maintenance easily. The end of the FM4DDE’s discharge chute can be angled to direct the chips.
The entrance leading directly to the cutter (hopper chute) is 95mm x 95mm. The upper section has a CE plate fitted. This safety plate is not required for USA or Canada.

Really great machine did get clogged a few times as we had rain the night before but it’s quite easy to clear, it helped me to have a garden blower to clear debris but it’s not necessary just made it easier for myself. Small tip.
Good at fresh stick to the declared diametert but and little limited because there is no option to move the chute so as to convert to use as a mulcher when it pretty much looks like the same basic motor and stand. Also there should be “wheelbarrow” handles so you can move it about easily – as a fixtrue, not an optional extra
Works well so far. Wheel caps are a bit tricky to get on.
Easily assembled with one exception of a bolt damaged in transit but was easily replaced. The chipper works well on green fresh wood that has any side branches trimmed but does not like older dry branches of more than 30mm. I use a mini chain saw to prepare the wood and the through put is great. Any jams or blockages are easily cleared and 10mm spanner kept in the pocket is essential. I have been using it for the past three days clearing Leylandiy and pine and am very impressed with this bit of kit.
