4 FULL-HYDRAULIC CONTROL
Crosscutting, automatic starting of the splitting and operation of the in-feed conveyor are
effortlessly controlled using the fully hydraulic joystick-valve.
4.1 Mastering the safety devices
While the protective net for the splitting chute is closed, access is prevented to the operat-
ing area of the crosscut saw-blade and the pusher. As the protective net for the splitting
chute is opened, the crosscut saw-blade cover is activated and the operation of the cross-
cut saw-blade, the pusher, the wood length adjuster (Palax Optimi) and the adjustment of
the splitting wedge are impeded.
