ROTATING / CHANGING TEETH
ROTATING AND CHANGING THE TEETH
The carbide teeth should be rotated every 125 hours or
when cutting rate has noticeably decreased. Depending
on cutting conditions, the teeth may need to be rotated
sooner or later. Most wear occurs on the outside edge of
the tooth. A tooth needs to be rotated when the cutting
edge becomes rounded. Rotate them 90° so that the top
edge faces out.
nOTE: When the tooth comes in contact with the ground,
the bottom edge will wear as well. If both the bottom and
outside edges of the tooth are worn, rotate the tooth 180°.
A 1/4” hex bit socket and a ratchet are needed to remove
and fasten the teeth.
nOTE: Tighten to 40 to 50± Torque
Do not run a cutting disc with teeth missing or broken
The backing block behind the tooth will wear very
quickly without a tooth in front of it. If the backing
block becomes worn do to a missing tooth, it will have
to be cut off and a new backing black welded on.
