•  Disconnect battery at negative terminal. 

•  Remove both access covers from the chipper basic machine. 

•  Rotate the chipper disk until the three countersunk screws and nylock nuts attaching 

the knife to the flywheel are visible through the access doors. 

•  Clean out the heads of the allen screws with an awl or sharp tool. 

•  Insert a 3/16” allen wrench into the heads of the screws. 

•  Use a ½” socket and ratchet to remove the nylock nuts from the screws. 

•  Remove all three allen screws and nuts in this manner. 

•  If your chipper has two knives, rotate the flywheel 180 degrees and repeat above 

process. 

 

•  You should never attempt to sharpen the chipper knife (or knives) freehand. 

•  It is extremely important that the 45 degree angle be maintained consistently for 

proper performance. 

•  The chipper knife (or knives) should be taken to a machine shop for proper 

sharpening. 

•  If your chipper is equipped with two knives, it is extremely important that they be 

balanced to equal weights to eliminate vibration. 

•  If your chipper is equipped with two knives, replace in pairs only. 

•  Excessive heat generated during the sharpening process will damage knives and 

weaken the metal.  Be sure the knives are not overheated. 

 

•  The chipper knife should be checked routinely for sharpness. 

•  Using a dull knife (knives) will decrease performance and cause excessive vibration 

that will cause damage to the chipper. 

•  How many times a knife can be sharpened is determined by how much material needs 

to be taken off to sharpen or to compensate for dents or gouges. 

•  A new chipper knife has 5/16” measurement between the short side bevel edge and 

the knife mounting holes.  See figure 2.
