24.6 Turning or replacing the counterblade
Risk of injury from sharp cutting blades!
When performing maintenance work on the cutting drum, there is a risk of the operators being
injured by the sharp cutting blades.
• When working on the cutting drum, work particularly carefully and prudently.
• Always wear work gloves when working on the cutting drum.
• Turn the cutting drum clockwise on the belt pulley only and, when the correct position is
reached, lock with the locking bolt.
NOTE
The counterblade and the counterblade support must be clean and flat. If required, replace the
components.
Fig. 660
Both sides of the counterblade (1) can be used. The counterblade must be turned or replaced if
one or both sides (1a, 1b) of the counterblade are worn.
A worn counterblade (cutting edge round) can be detected by the fact that the cutting quality is
not satisfactory. The distance from counterblade to chopping blades (kerf) must be set correctly
in order to minimse wear, refer to chapter Operation “Grinding the Chopping Blades”.
Furthermore the chopping blades must be ground correctly, refer to chapter Maintenance
“Readjusting or Changing the Cutting Blades”.
