Chipper Blade Sharpening
•
Free the blade of any grease, dirt, or clippings prior
to sharpening.
•
Check the blades to make sure they are not bent or
cracked.
•
Depending on style of the blade, balancing the
blade maybe different than described in this
manual. Most chippers require all blades to be the same height. Start with the shortest blade
and use it for a reference, then move on to the others in the set.
•
Only sharpen blades that are long and wide enough to safely hold on to.
•
As with any sharpening process on the grinder move only in one direction and apply minimal
inward force.
LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
•
Check daily for any unsafe conditions and fix immediately.
•
Check that all nuts and bolts are properly tightened.
•
On a weekly basis clean the machine and the area around it.
•
Lubricate threaded components and sliding devices.
•
Apply rust inhibitive lubricant to all non-painted surfaces.
•
Vacuum and remove dust and debris build-up from the machine and the machine belt track.
•
Verify proper belt tracking.
Note: Proper maintenance can increase the life expectancy of your machine.
WARNING:
Make sure the electrical disconnect is OFF before working on
the machine.
Maintenance should be performed on a regular basis by qualified personnel.
Always follow proper safety precautions when working on or around any machinery.
