Adjusting the rolling tension – how hard the roller holds the tree.
There is 1 handle on each side.
Chipper's knives
IMPORTANT: The machine must be completely turned off and stopped before changing the
blades!
The flywheel and stationary blades must be sharp to get the chipper to do the work as expected.
When the blades have become lethargic, they can be turned 180 degrees as a result of which a
new knife appears. Open to the chipper's flywheel and loosen the 4 bolts that hold the blades and
then turn them over.
Be sure to tighten
the
mounting bolts of the blades when reinstalling the blades on
the
flywheel.
The stationary blades are designed with 4 sharp corners. When the corner opposite the
flywheel rounds, the knife is dismantled and another is installed. When installing new blades,
or when changing already existing blades, the blades are set in relation to the counter cutter
found by looking down into the flywheel. The blades should not hit the counter cutter, but
should drive as close to it as possible.
Adjustment of the counter cutter, is done by adjusting the bolts and their associated nut, as
shown in the photo below.
These are found under thesv ing wheel, under the machine.
Be sure
to re-tighten the bolts and nuts.
Roller speed control
On the left side of the insertion funnel, the roller speed
adjustment is found. 1 = slow - i.e. the chipper cuts the wood
into nicer pieces
10 =fast - ie.
the wood chipper cuts
the
wood into coarser
pieces
