BLADES
HOW TO REVERSE YOUR BLADES
YOUR CHIPPER IS EQUIPPED WITH DUAL REVERSABLE CUTTING BLADES.
1.
Turn engine key off, remove key and unplug the spark plug.
2.
Open the large feed chute.
3.
Before removing the bolts that mount the blades, place paper towels in the area
opening between the drum and the drum housing. This will prevent bolts from
dropping into the drum housing.
4.
Remove the first 4 bolts.
5.
BEFORE REMOVING THE LAST BOLT BE SURE TO SUPPORT THE BLADE FROM
SLIDING DOWN INTO THE DRUM. More paper towels or a shop towel does a good
job.
6.
Remove the blade, reverse it to the new sharp edge and reinstall it. Use only DK2
POWER OEM blades.
7.
Use Loctite on the bolt threads when replacing bolts.
8.
Use the supplied T-Handle tool to remove and replace bolts.
9.
Wear protective gloves, the blades are very sharp.
10.
Remove the paper towels, any paper left in the chipper will be cut up on the next
running operation.
