4. Remove the four (4) M10 X 35 mm flat head bolts and M10 lock nuts that fasten the
blade to the flywheel using a 6 mm hex key on the bolts and a 17 mm socket/wrench on
the lock nuts. Take care not to drop the hardware into the lower flywheel housing.
However, should this occur, a telescoping pen magnet can be used to retrieve them.
5. Repeat Steps 3 & 4 above to remove the remaining three blades. If this is the first time
the blades have been removed following either the original wood chipper purchase or a
recent blade sharpening, the blades can be reversed to utilize the other cutting edge.
Or, the entire blade can be removed and sharpened or it can be replaced with a new
blade. Torque the M10 X 35 mm flat head bolts to 40-45 ft•lb (54-60 N•m) when
installing blades. Always replace the M10 lock nuts with a new set when changing or
reversing blades. Refer to section,
“Blade Sharpening”
for blade sharpening instructions
6. Once the blades have been reversed or new blades installed, proceed to section,
"Setting the Bed Plate Gap"
, to properly set the spacing between the blades and bed
plate.
