1 Cutting
The lever for operating cutting and operation of the feeding conveyor forwards and backwards
(E) has several functions:
The saw chain is hydraulically operated and starts when the lever is moved towards (D).
The lever also releases the splitting function when it is moved towards (B) as illustrated.
Thin wood material that is not to be split
When cutting thin wood materials, you may cut several continuous lengths and let them fall into
the splitting cradle without activating the splitting piston. This makes for a far faster cycle.
The splitting function is always released by moving the cutting lever to position B.
2 Safety hand operated log holder
Avoid placing your hands close to the saw chain. This is obtained by using the log holder B and
the handle A 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 B by means of the handle A so that the user does not receive an unexpected backlash
from the final piece.
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 as much as possible during cutting of such
wood materials to prevent that fingers/hands are squeezed.
3 Sideways adjustment of the transporter
The transporter may be adjusted in 3 positions to each side; i.e. 7 positions in total. To release
the locking, the handle A is activated. The transporter is released and may be moved sideways.
The handle A will engage in the first fixing hole (sideways position) when the transporter is
moved sideways. If you want to make a sideways adjustment to the extreme outer position, it is
recommended to move the transporter sideways to the first stop and then release the handle A
to arrive at the next position.
4 Jammed wood materials
If the splitter does not manage to split the wood – the piston is moved backwards by pulling the
lever A towards the right.
The log must be removed manually. The safety cover B is opened with the handle for this
purpose. This movement closes the machine’s hydraulic functions. The log may be introduced
again for another attempt.
