IMPORTANT: Every time you perform maintenance or any kind of service or check
on the blade, be sure to check the gap between the blade and wear plate for proper
setting.
If the cutting mechanism strikes any foreign object or if your machine should start
making an unusual noise or is vibrating, stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug
wires from the spark plugs. Allow the engine to cool before you:
• Inspect and examine for obvious damage.
• Check for loose parts, bolts and nuts.
1. When not in use, your chipper should be stored out of reach of children. Be sure
there is no gasoline fumes in the storage area. For long periods of storage (over
winter), refer to the engine owner's manual.
2. After every 8 hours of operation, lubricate the chipper side and drive side bearings.
To do this, wipe all dirt, etc., from the grease fittings with a clean cloth, then apply no
more than 3 shots of quality general-purpose grease with a hand-pumped grease gun.
Over lubrication can also damage bearings. Also, check the bearing collar set screws
regularly to be sure they are tight. If they are loose, reset them with Loctite,
obtainable at any hardware store.
3. You will find information included referring to operation and maintenance of the
chipper engine.
4. When the steel chipping knife needs replacing or sharpening, refer to the section on
removal, sharpening and re-installation.
5. When you install the new OEM blade, the clearance between the blade and anvil
plate must be checked and set. This clearance or gap should be set to 1.58mm.
6. To adjust this clearance, loosen the three nuts and bolts holding the wear plate in
place. The anvil plate can be slid up or down (in or out) to achieve the correct gap
setting.
7. If the gap between the wear plate and the blade is not set correctly, you will have
excessive vibration when chipping and the blade will seem to be dull. This should be
checked every 8-10 hours of operation.

ATTENTION! Always wear safety gloves when working with blades. This machine is
equipped with two reversible blades. When they lose their edge, the blades can be
turned to use the second edge. When the second edge is spent, they have to be
replaced. If you notice an increase in vibration it could be due to the cutting edges
being worn, you will also notice that your cut material is in long strips when the blades
are dull or worn.
