What this sheet is for
Know when the blades were last turned or sharpened and what the clearance was set to, so a chipper that starts to labour is fixed at the blade, not the engine.
Who it is for
Tree surgeons, landscapers, estate and grounds teams, hire yards and anyone with a petrol or PTO chipper or shredder.
How to use it
- Fill the specification block once — blade set and anvil part numbers, and the bolt torque and clearance from your maker's handbook.
- Log every blade turn, sharpen or replacement, with the clearance set and the bolts checked.
- Log engine, belt and feed-roller servicing by hours in the lower table.
- Note when chipping quality drops off; that is usually the blade telling you.

Questions
Why is the blade-to-anvil clearance not printed?
Because it is set by the maker for that machine and that blade, and getting it wrong either ruins the chip or damages the anvil. The sheet leaves a blank for your handbook's figure and a column to record what it was set to each time.
Is this for a shredder as well as a chipper?
Yes. A shredder with flails or hammers instead of blades uses the same columns — treat the flail set as the blade set and ignore the anvil column if there is none.
