A: The K33 Chipper is developed in Cumberland WI, and manufactured in China.

A: Here is what is listed in the owner's manual The chipping knives of this unit can be rotated or sharpened to provide a new cutting surface as required. When inspecting the knives be careful to avoid touching the sharpened edges. To inspect the chipping knives: 1. Disconnect the spark plug wire and secure it away from the spark plug. SEE FIGURE 14. 2. Remove the nuts securing the chipper cone to the front of the chipper. Remove the chipper cone to access the knives. SEE FIGURE 13. 3. Using the recoil starter, slowly pull the starter rope to rotate the rotor into position so the blades can be seen. To sharpen or replace the chipper knives, see the Troubleshooting and Repair section. CHIPPING KNIFE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION To inspect or replace the chipping knives: 1. Bend the lock plate tabs away from the bolts securing the chipping knives. 2. Remove the two bolts and the chipping knife. SEE FIGURE 20. 3. Inspect or replace the chipper knife. 4. Reinstall the chipper knife and tighten the bolts to 18-20 ft-lb (24-27 N.m.). Ensure that the knife is sitting squarely against the stop that has been formed into the rotor. If it is not sitting square, the knives will perform as if they are extremely dull. Always use a new lock plate when installing knives. Two of the bolt faces should align in parallel with the lock plate tabs. Note: We recommend the use of high-strength thread locker on mounting bolts. 5. Bend the lock plate tabs up to prevent bolt rotation. The tabs should sit flat on a face of the bolt. SEE FIGURE 18.
