OPERATION
22. Sharpening Blades:
The rotor and stationary blades need to be sharp for the chipper to perform as expected. It is
recommended that the rotor blades be removed from the rotor when sharpening. Always sharpen
the blades at a 45° angle to provide the best cutting effect as it meets the stationary blade. Be
sure to tighten the blade mounting bolts to their specified torque when re-installing the blades to
the rotor. The stationary blade is designed with 4 sharp corners that can be utilized. When the
corner facing the rotor blade rounds over, remove the blade and re-install with a different corner
facing the rotor blade. Use the stationary blade to set the clearance to the rotor blade when re-
installing. Be sure to tighten mounting bolts to their specified torque.
