Blade Maintenance
•
The blades must be keep sharp for optimal chipping. The BWC Wood Chipper blades are made from high
quality tool steel. Our blades are designed to last, however, they will dull over time and require sharpening.
Performing regular maintenance will extend the life of the blades and the wood chipper.
•
For optimal results:
-
Blades perform better when chipping fresh, green limbs. The moisture content of the material being
chipped lubricates the blades and reduces friction extending the life of the blade.
-
Chipping dry material will wear down the cutting edges of the blade much faster than fresh material.
-
Avoid using dirty material as dirt and sand is very abrasive and wears down the blade edges much
faster.
-
If at all possible avoid material with foreign objects that can cause premature wear and or damage to
the blades.

’
s edge must be cut at (Check blades for correct angel) 33 degree angle for optimal performance.
