16. Blades:
There are 2 types of blades used on the Wood chipper.
They work together to cut, shear and shred the wood as
it moves through the machine.
a. Rotor blades:
The rotor is equipped with 4 blades placed at
90° to each other to keep the rotor in balance. If
one needs to be changed, the one opposite
should be changed.
b. Stationary blade:
Each machine is equipped with a stationary
blade that acts as a stop for the moving rotor
blades.
17. It is recommended that the clearance between the
rotor and stationary blades be set and maintained at
1/32 inch to obtain the best performance. Use the
stationary blade mounting bolts to set the clearance
as required 18. Twig Breaker:
