Right, the log is supported by the rollers, Figure 18.
The log is supported by both rollers.
No risk of rolling over
4.5 Cross-cut operation
Press the log smoothly against the saw-blade
Support the log with your hand.
Be especially careful when cutting knotty or crooked
trees.
4.6 Disturbances during cross-cut operation and
their remedy
Crooked trees
Cut crooked trees where they bend.
When cutting crooked trees, make sure that the log is properly supported by the rollers.
Big trees
Make sure that the rotational speed of the saw-blade is correct.
If the cutting sound is soft, the cutting speed and the saw-blade revolutions are correct.
If the cutting sound is loud and cracking, the blade is proceeding too fast and the
sawdust grooves get clogged. Check the rotational speed or reduce the advancing
speed.
If the log is stuck in the saw-blade due to incorrect performance of sawing operation:
Stop the machine immediately. Stop machines powered by
electricity or combustion engine with their emergency stop
button, and the machine powered by tractor by pulling the clutch
A, Figure 12. Also disengage the power take-off shaft.
Inspect the stuck saw-blade before continuing the cutting and
verify no cracks have appeared in the roots of the teeth.
A faulty saw-blade must not be used for cutting.
4.7 Cutting the small trees
It is also possible to cut small trees, 3 - 8 cm in diameter, two at a
time. First remove the wedge. Push the processed firewood directly
onto the conveyor (Figure 19).
5 Use of the firewood processor, splitting operation
5.1 Splitting cylinder
The machine can be equipped with a splitting cylinder
of either 3.5 tons or 5.6 tons.
5.2 Manually-operated high-speed valve, Figure 20
As standard, the machine comes equipped with a
manually-operated high-speed valve (Figure 20) which
increases the splitting speed by about 30%.
