Ps: While the chipper is operating I do wear my chainsaw safety helmet with face shield and ear protection as well as goggles.
If anyone can offer pointers on farther safety it would be welcomed.

Actually, I think the previous owner gave you the best safety lesson there is.

I know for me, seeing the results on someone that you have spoken too, speaks volumes.
