16. Blades:
There are 2 types of blades used on the Wood
Chipper. They work together to cut, shear
and shred the wood as it moves through the
machine.
a.
Rotor blades:
The rotor is equipped with 4 blades
placed at 90° to each other to keep the
rotor in balance. If one needs to be
changed, the one opposite should be
changed.
b.
Stationary blade:
Each machine is equipped with a station-
ary blade that acts as a stop for the mov-
ing rotor blades.

17. Clearance:
It is recommended that the clearance between
the rotor and stationary blades be set and
maintained at 1/32 inch to obtain the best per-
