Use a stick or branch to push material into the rotor that does not move on its own. Do not run the risk of having
your hand trapped in the rotor.
BLADES

chip and cut the wood while it is being fed into the machine.
Rotor blades

positioned at an angle of 90° from each other to keep the rotor
in balance. If one blade is replaced, the opposite blade must
also be replaced.
