blade is made from tempered steel and is extremely hard -
do not attempt to sharpen with a hand file. We recommend
that youtakethebladeto aprofessiortal sharpening service

uniform along the beveled edge oniy, being sureto maintain
the original 45° cutting angle.
TO REMOVE AND INSTALL THE

Rotate the impeller assembly by hand until you locate the
Chipper blade in the Chipper chute ~pening.
Prevent the impeller assembly from turning in a
counterclockwise direction by wedging a block of wood
between one of the fan blades and the wall of the housing
