I've wondered about jam protection.

I didn't feed it max sized chunks our of concern for jamming.

Don’t worry about maxing it out, you can do it all day (as I did today as a matter of fact) stress control will deal with it.

It can happen if you turn it off before it’s emptied the chamber, because the wheel stops quickly (direct drive) a small piece can drop between the anvil and the blade.
It can happen once a year or never, but I once took the dog for a walk leaving the men to chip up a birch and they tried to start it for fifteen minutes, next day the flywheel bearings collapsed.

I am not concerned about chipping a max log, it's the odd, large chunk, especially by itself.

Maybe unfounded.

Hell, that can happen on my 1250. Probably any chipper.
Always let it run a few to clear the throat and blades before shut down

I'll even foward and reverse the feed a couple times in case something needs bumped looseto finish out

Keep it wide open and hit it with a blower in the infeed chute.
