Sharpening knives for a crusher of wood
Proper sharpening of knives for wood crushers is not only a guarantee of long and effective work, but also an important safety factor. Stepstood knives not only reduce performance, but also increase the risk of injuries. Imagine that you are trying to crush the branch using a dumb knife - this is not only hard, but can also lead to the fact that a piece of wood will bounce and injure you.
Selecting the correct sharpening tool

Sharpening technique and important recommendations
When working with crusher knives, it is important to observe safety precautions. Before starting work, make sure that the crusher is turned off and disabled from the electric network.

If you notice that the knife bent strongly or has significant damage, it is best to replace it with new ones in order to avoid serious injuries.
Prevention and care for knives
Regular sharpening is not only a guarantee of safety, but also the key to a long service of knives. Frequent checks of knife sharpness will help to avoid breakdowns and injuries. Check knives after each work cycle or as they dull. It is also important to provide knives for proper storage.
