Following advice from other owners, I taped a cardboard spacer inside the chute in order to fill the gap. Viola, perfect chip collection.
Again, I don't specifically know about your machine, but you might want to unscrew the plastic DC outlet and have a look at the chip path. Cardboard and tape is pretty cheap.
