REVERSING & REPLACING THE BLADE
The chipper has a two-sided reversible blade that is attached to a rotating support plate. When one
side of the blade becomes dull, it can be turned over in order to use the other side.
Replace or properly sharpen any dull blade.
NOTE:
ALWAYS handle the blade with care as it is sharp.
■ Turn o the chipper and remove the power plug from the outlet.
■ Unscrew the hopper locking knob counterclockwise until the housing cover can be opened (Fig. 8).
■ Carefully lift up the upper housing cover to expose the 2 side reversible blade (Fig. 9).
■ Use a screwdriver or wooden dowel (not provided) to secure the blade support. First, slot the
screwdriver into the access hole as shown. Then carefully turn the blade support until one of the two
blocking apertures appears and aligns with the access hole. Secure the blade support from rotating
by slotting the screwdriver right through it (Fig. 9).
WARNING
To avoid damage or electric shock, do not use strong solvents or detergents on the plastic housing
or plastic components. Certain household cleaners may cause damage and may also cause a shock
hazard.
