12” CHIPPER
•
Check the clearance between the knives
and the anvil. The clearance for the
knife to anvil should be between .045”
and .065” (1.14 – 1.65 mm). Use a
feeler gage that measures within that
range. The gage should fit easily
between the knife and the anvil without
force and without too much free space
on either side. Check clearance at the
top and bottom of each knife assembly.

One person will need to be in the infeed
chute area to check the clearance
between the anvil and the knives. While
another person is outside to make the
adjustments and to turn the cutter disk.
The disk will have to be rotated fully to
check both knife settings.
This is one time that the cutter disk
lock pin will not be in position so
extreme care needs to be taken for
safety. Before allowing anyone to be
in the infeed chute, make sure there is
no obstruction or binding in the cutter
disk by turning it by hand from the
outside first. If the cutter disk does
not turn freely, find and remove the
obstruction and then proceed.

If clearance needs to be adjusted, loosen
the two anvil bolts; just loose enough to
be able to move the anvil with the
adjuster bolts.
