PERFORMING ANY MAINTAINANCE TO THE CHIPPER.
WARNING
NOTE:
Only for dry branch chipping, not designed for leaves, vines, or bamboo.
NOTE:
ALWAYS handle blade with care as it is sharp.
The chipper has a two sided reversible blade that is attached to a rotating support plate.
When one side of the blade becomes dull, it can be turned over in order to use the other side.
Replace or properly sharpen any dull blade.
HOW TO REPLACE CHIPPER BLADE
• Turn off chipper and remove power plug from outlet;
• Turn the upper housing’s lock knob counterclockwise until the housing cover can be opened;
• Lift up the housing cover to expose the 2 side reversible blade (1);
• Using a screwdriver or wooden dowel
，
align the upper screw hole of the gear box with the hole on
rotating blade support (2) and slide through to secure blade support (2) from rotating.
• Use the supplied 6mm Hex Key found on the power cord to loosen and remove the screw (3) that
holds blade to rotating blade support;
• Take out the old blade. Either reinsert the blade with the sharp edge in position as the cutting surface
or insert a replacement blade.
• Replace and tighten blade screw to secure the new blade to the rotating blade support.
• Position the removable upper hopper panel onto the lower hopper base section of unit and lock
into place using the hopper locking knob (4). Return hex key to power cord location for future use.
