On the other hand, the form of the top of the blade is of es-
sential importance for the performance and the speed of this
primary chipping. The angle of the
top of the blade
will deter-
mine the angle at which the wood is pulled inside the shred-
ding chamber. If this angle is rounded due to wear, the blades
must be reversed and/or replaced. (“read § 11.3.4 Reversing
and changing chipper blades” on page 37)
B)
The issue is to have the chippings leave the shredding
chamber as quickly as possible with regard to the secondary
chipping. The chippings, therefore, must be quickly reduced
until they are small enough to pass through the openings of the
calibrating sieve. Every contact with the cutting area of one of
the blades must, therefore, ensure that the chippings become
smaller. Therefore,
the sharper the full active cutting edge
of
the blades is, the more efficient chipping will be. Regular grinding
of the cutting edge is, therefore, required.
Cutting edge teething
ensures that the cutting power of the
blades increases and the cutting edge remains sharp for a longer
period of time. It is very important to never grind away the teeth
when performing maintenance on the blades. (“read § 11.3.3
Sharpening the blades.” on page 34)
The position of the blades on the blade shaft has been selected very specifically to obtain an alter-
native chopping configuration with regard to primary chipping and the correct circulation of the
chippings in the shredding chamber with regard to secondary chipping. You must, therefore, always
ensure that you respect the original set-up when reversing or replacing blades.
(“read § 11.3.4 Reversing and changing chipper blades” on page 37 where the rules are explained.)
11.3.3 Sharpening the blades.
Correct and timely Sharpening of the chipping blades will extend blade life. (ELIET recommend
the following: Grind after at least every 10 working hours.)
Preparatory warnings
• Always wear safety glasses and hearing protection when Sharpening blades. Wearing gloves is
also mandatory when performing any maintenance.
• NEVER rotate the blade shaft by grabbing the blades. Use a tool to grab the blades.
• The blade has two cutting edges (reversible blade). This means that you must take into account
when Sharpening that there is another razor-sharp blade side.
• Open the shredding chamber (see Annex 2).
