13. Safe transport
Before the machine is moved, the feeder conveyor and transporter (both in an up-right position
as outlined in the illustration) are to be strapped to secure that they do not fall down. The loading
strap has a fixing point at the lower part of the feeding conveyor and secures the conveyor belt
from falling off during transport.
14. Contact with electric wires and similar during transport.
Be aware that the wood machine may be taller than the tractor during transport and there is a
risk of contact with eletric wires, railroad underpasses etc!
If the machine has been set up for splitting of 60cm wood lengths, it should be set back to 40cm
before moving. This is because the machine will protrude on the right side if it transported in
"60cm set-up". If you choose to move the machine in “60cm set-up”, you should be very
attentive of the fact that there is a protrusion beyond the width of the tractor on the right hand
side.
15. Crushing risk – Rotating parts in the transporter
Never put your hands or limbs into the output transporter. This part has rotating parts may cause
severe injuries.
16. Transport conveyor - transporter
Avoid staying under the transporter when this is under tension in order to avoid injuries in case
of any uncontrolled downfall during use. Also avoid contact with the transporter’s moving parts
during use.
17. Safe cutting
Avoid placing your hands close to the saw chain. This is obtained by consequently using the log
holder A and the handle B to operate it.
For cutting the last log of wood, it is important to retain a “suitable” length and cut a shorter piece
as the next to last. During this operation, it is especially important to use the hand operated log
holder A so that the user does not receive an unexpected backlash from the final piece.
You are advised to use the “count-down ruler” for the last three lengths so that these may be cut
to a somewhat shorter even length than the desired length.
When you want to cut twiggy or crooked logs, it is important to make sure that these are
securely placed. Use the hand operated log holder A as much as possible during cutting of such
wood materials to prevent that fingers/hands are squeezed.
Before start-up after maintenance you should check that all tools have been removed and
brought back into place.
Before the machine is elevated or lowered, you should check that no-one is close to or touch the
machine.
If any warning signs are removed during repair or service, new signs must be fitted
immediately!
