8.2. REPLACING THE BLADES
Sharpen or replace the blades as soon as the chipping performance begins
to deteriorate, or if you notice signs of chips or cracks.
To preform this procedure:
1. Turn off the machine, allow all moving parts to come to a complete stop,
and disconnect the spark plug wire.
2. Remove the feeding chute.
3. Put a block of wood into the hole (see Pic. 25). Pull the starter cord some
more until the rotor is blocked. Now it is safe to unscrew blade bolts.
Always use gloves when handling the blades.
4. Remove the blade anvil (see Pic. 26).
5. Give a really good clean of chipper blades and anvil and make sure there
is no dirt. Put the anvil back to the chipper and screw on (make sure to
keep anvil bolts loose as you need to adjust it later). Use threadlocker on
blade bolts (make sure you don't use too much, normally just a small dip)
and screw on the blades (make sure all bolts are tightened).
