INSPECT/CHANGE KNIVES
•
Cutter disk knives need to be kept sharp
and free of chips to keep the chipper
running smoothly. Visually inspect
knives daily for dull edges, chips, and
other damage. Dull or chipped knives
do not cut well adding stress to the
engine and requiring more power to cut
through the wood. This can cause heat
to build up and cause knife failure.
•
Check the knives if the wood chips are
too large, if the material will not feed
properly, or if the engine lugs down.
•
Always wear leather gloves when
handling knives. Edges are extremely
sharp and could cause severe injury.
