CHECK THE ANVIL TO KNIFE CLEARANCE
1. This clearance should be checked on a weekly basis or as knives are changed. To check the anvil
clearance, follow all pre‑maintenance shut down procedures. Once all safety procedures are
completed the anvil to knife clearance can be checked.
2. In order to check the clearance one person will need to climb into the infeed hopper. Use a feeler
gauge or the anvil to knife gauge supplied by Bandit to check the clearance of the first knife to the
anvil. Check the clearance at the top and bottom of the anvil.
3. Once that knife has been checked climb back out of the infeed hopper, remove the disc lock pin, and
very carefully rotate the chipper disc so the other knives can be checked.
4. Once all knives have been checked adjust the anvil according to the closest knife. The anvil to knife
clearance should be .045 to .065 inches (1.1 to 1.7 mm).
5. Set the closet knife to this distance.
Do Not under any circumstance attempt to rotate the chipper disc while someone is inside the infeed
hopper. They may become seriously injured, Do Not Do This!
ANVIL ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
1. To adjust the anvil first loosen two of the hex nuts on either the inside or outside of the anvil puller
block. If the anvil needs to be adjusted closer to the disc, loosen the outside anvil adjuster hex nuts.
If the anvil needs to be adjusted away from the disc, loosen the inside anvil adjuster hex nuts.
2. Loosen the anvil mounting bolts.
3. Once the components have been loosened, move the anvil to the correct clearance using the anvil
adjuster bolts and hex nuts.
4. Once the knife is set to the correct clearance, .045 to .065 inches (1.1 to 1.7 mm), retighten all
components.
5. The anvil handle can be removed if it is stopping the anvil from reaching the correct knife clearance.
If removed keep the anvil handle for later use.
6. If the anvil is rotated or flipped to a new working edge, apply Loc‑Tite 242 (blue) on the anvil handle
and set screw.
7. Make sure bolts are torqued to their specific bolt torques refer to bolt torques on page 37.
8. Carefully rotate the chipper disc to make sure all the knives clear the anvil.
