25 Timber Ax
Knife Replacement
Insert rotor lock pin. Refer to “Rotor Locking Pin
Installation” on page 18.
Remove the 5/8" bolts (1), lock nut (2), and knife (3).
Carefully clean surface under knife before installation.
When re-installing new knife, the bolt must be inserted
through the knife mount from inside the rotor to allow the
nut to be on the outside as shown above.
Apply a thread-locking compound to the nut and tighten
to torque values listed in chart on “Torque Specifications”
on page 53.
IMPORTANT:
If a knife is replaced, the knife on the
opposite side of rotor must also be
replaced to maintain the balance.
CAUTION: Do not operate the Timber Ax
with a missing knife. The rotor will become
out of balance when spinning and severe
damage to the Timber Ax could occur.
Knife Sharpening
The Timber Ax knives need to be kept sharp for the
most effective operation. Sharpening intervals will vary
based on usage and operator skill level. Daily inspection
and touch up is recommended. Use a 7" to 9" diameter
angle grinder for the most efficient method of sharpening
knives on the machine.
As the condition of the knives deteriorates to the point
where hand grinding is no longer adequate, consider
replacing a complete set of knives with a spare set that
have been resurfaced in a machine shop. This practice of
rotating in a complete set of precision sharpened knives
will help maintain the same balance and performance as
a new machine.
NOTE: Knives will only need to be discarded when
they no longer extend beyond the divider ribs
between the knife pockets.
NOTE: The knives can either be removed from the
attachment or remain installed for sharpening.
CAUTION: Install the rotor locking pin before
attempting to remove or sharpen the knives.
WARNING: Rotor must be stabilized with the
locking pin to prevent accidental rotation any
time the rotor is exposed for service work.
Do not remove the locking pin for any reason
when one or more knives are missing from the
rotor assembly. The imbalance could cause
the rotor to turn without warning causing
serious personal injury.
