6.5. Maintenance of the cutting tools
Blunt knifes can affect the quality of the wood chips negatively.
If necessary the cutting tools can be re-sharpened or changed.
Important!
1. Block the knife disk with the provided blocking tool before changing the knives.
Use the bolts of the ejector cap (see picture).
2. Always keep the cutting unit in a sharp condition to guarantee an efficient and
slightly cut.
3. Do not grab the knife on the blade side – Danger of injury!
4. Attention! Excessive wear out of the cutting unit can cause a total loss of the
cutting unit.
5. Pay attention for the operating condition: the condition of the material can affect
the durability of the cutting tools (clean fresh wood or with abrasive materials
attached material).
