Technical Data
Weight without power saw .5 kg
Drive capacity from 1. kW
Working width 1 0 mm
Knife width 30 mm
Number of knives 4 units
Areas o Application
The bark-stripper is apt for peeling trunks of any strength. The thicker and
harder the bark, the more economical is its application. The constructive
formation of the peeling barrel causes a high chipping performance at minimal
effort. Hard metal pins arranged directly behind the knives are formed in such
a way that the distance of the peeling knives from the trunk wood is observed
automatically, and regardless of the bark strength, on the entire trunk length.
Branch departures and thin branches are easily and cleanly bevelled. The
barrel is straight and moulds a plane area similar to the parer. So, in working
at the side of the trunk and in peeling root departures, the device can be
applied in an angular or diagonal manner. The device may only be used as
intended for the listed operations.
Mounting the bark - stripper to the Chain Saw
The stripper can be assembled to ordinary power saws from 1. kW. The
fitting attached parts for the saws mentioned in the accompanying documents
and bills of delivery are included in delivery. The peeling head carrier is to be
assembled instead of the sword. For assembly, the chain folding plate, sword
and chain pinion must be removed. The chain pinion is replaced by the
coupling barrel with V-belt pulley (0 06). The peeling head carrier (0 01) is
fastened instead of the sword in connection with the chain wheel cap. The
peeling head (0 0 ) is slided onto the peeling head carrier (0 01). The V-belt
is laid onto the V-belt pulley (0 06) of the coupling barrel and the V-belt pulley
(0 04) of the peeling head. The V-belt is prestressed and the peeling head
(0 0 ) is fastened by tightening the clamping screw (0 07). Subsequent
clamping, as with the normal chain, is done with the chain adjuster of the
power saw. Sharp metal edges at the power saw – in the V-belt area – should
be rounded. The supply of chain oil must be prevented by shutting down the
oil pump or by emptying the oil tank.

Starting Operation o the bark - stripper
In this version, the device may only be operated in agriculture and forestry by
instructed persons. The relevant regulations for the prevention of accidents
are to be observed. Apply the bark stripper to the trunk surface at running saw
engine only at full revolution, and lead the bark stripper over the trunk
continuously and without pressure. Should the stripper cut too deep or even
chip, the knives are to be set back by around 0. mm. If the cutting depth is
too short, the knives are to be set forward by around 0. mm. The required
knife adjustment is based on the type of wood to be peeled and must be newly
adjusted as the case arises. It is to be observed that the hard metal pins on
the knife disc (0 11) always stand right to the knife edge. All 4 knives must
have the same adjustment and the same measure to the hard metal pins. Dull
knives can be reground by hand at normal grinding wheels. The edge angle is
40°.
Instructions or Use
Before every application, the trunks to be peeled are to be checked. Nails,
sticky sand and other foreign material must be removed before planing, as
otherwise the peeling knives will be damaged. On actuation, the machine is to
be safely supported and held tight, at which the peeling barrel must stand free.
Apply the peeling device to the plane trunk surface only with the saw engine
running at full revolution. For the use of the saw, read the operating
instructions of the saw manufacturer.

Adjusting the Knives on the EDER bark - stripper
For optimal performance of the bark - stripper, sharp, correctly adjusted knives
are required.
For adjusting, you need the provided hexagonal wrench and proceed as
follows:
1. Lay wrench onto the device as in illustration below.
. Make wrench and hard metal pin touch each other.
3. Hold wrench in this position, now turn back the peeling barrel, until the
knives stand in front of the wrench (viz. illustration)
4. Adjust distance to 0.5 to 1.5 mm.
5. All 4 knives are adjusted in the same way.
6. The clamping bolts for the knives are to be tightened at a torque of at least
35 Nm. A corresponding torque wrench can be obtained from EDER-
Maschinenbau as optional accessory or from the specialized tool trade.
7. The knives may never be positioned beyond the hard metal pins, as the
hard metal pins serve as depth limitation.
8. It’s absolutely necessary, that the hard metal pins show forward in direction
to the knife edge.

Protection rom Accidents
The safe state of the machine is to be checked each time before beginning to
work. This applies, above all, for the condition and the safe fit of the knives
and the fixing elements.
The machine may not be used if damage is noted.
If the machine is not used temporarily or transported, the engine is to be shut
down, or the chain brake to be activated, so that unintentional actuation of the
peeling barrel is avoided.
During operation, no person may stay within the working area of the device.
Splinters flying around are to be anticipated. A safety distance of at least 10 m
to other persons is to be observed.
The machine is to be held tight with both hands at work. A safe stand is to be
ensured at work.
It is to be operated in such a way that emissions are not inhaled as far as
possible. Devices with a combustion engine may not be used in closed rooms.
The machine is to be operated with as little noise and emissions as possible.
For checking the V-belt, subsequent clamping, changing the knives and
removing disturbances, the motor must be shut down.
On fueling the machine, the motor must be shut down, it must not be smoked,
and there must be some distance to open fires.
On working on the slope, it is to be observed that the person operating the
device is standing above or aside the trunk to be worked on.
Instructions or maintenance
Operations of maintenance and repair may only be executed by persons who
possess the necessary knowledge and abilities (e. g. professional workshop).
Before correcting disturbances and on interruptions of work, the entire engine
is to be shut down and its standstill is to be awaited. Apt measures are to be
taken against erroneous actuation and involuntary moves (e. g. pull the plug).
Foreign substance or material parts may not be removed from near moving

parts. Defective connections, or connections no longer valid, may not be
used. Apt tools are to be used for maintenance and installation. Only original
EDER spare parts are to be used or replacement!
Instructions or the Use o Personal Protective Equipment
On operating the bark - stripper, all regulations and security provisions as for
the operation of power saws are applicable. The service personnel must wear
equipment for the protection of the body, especially including eye and face
protection, ear protection, protective gloves and protective shoes. Leg
protection is recommended.
Protective Devices
The machine may only be used with the protective and security devices (e. g.
protective plate) provided for the purpose. Protective and security devices
may not be invalidated and must be cleaned if necessary.
