23. Sharpening Blades:
The rotor and stationary blades need to be
sharp for the chipper to perform as expected.
It is recommended that the rotor blades be
removed from the rotor when sharpening.
Always sharpen the blades at a 45° angle to
provide the best cutting effect as it meets the
stationary blade. Be sure to tighten the blade
mounting bolts to their specified torque when
re-installing the blades to the rotor.
The stationary blade is designed with 4 sharp
corners that can be utilized. When the corner
facing the rotor blade rounds over, remove the
blade and re-install with a different corner fac-
ing the rotor blade. Use the stationary blade
to set the clearance to the rotor blade when
re-installing. Be sure to tighten mounting
bolts to their specified torque.
