Greenteeth® – Maintenance & Torque Guide

1. When to Rotate or Replace Greenteeth®

Rotate or replace your Greenteeth® when:

• the cutting edge becomes rounded by approx. 1 mm,
• you experience slower cutting,
• the machine needs more force,
• you notice increased vibration or dust,
• the tooth is visibly damaged.

Rule:

👉 If performance drops — rotate.

👉 If rotation doesn’t help — replace.
