Split the Log
1. Push the splitter control lever forward to split the log. Push
the log most of the way through the wedge. When there
is enough space in the splitting cradle for the next block,
retract the cylinder.
2. Pull the lever fully back into the detent. (The lever resets to
neutral once the cylinder is fully retracted.)
Advance the Log
3. Push the infeed conveyor valve handle down to advance log
up to stop guide, ready for the next cut.
Fig. 64 – Splitter Control Lever
If the firewood is less than 24", it is not necessary
to push the block completely through the splitting
wedge. Split it partially, then let the next block
following finish it.
For the best efficiency, advance the log for the next
cut as the splitter is retracting.
End of the Log
4. Use the length guide on the side of the infeed conveyor as a
reference for final log cuts. The guide indicates the length of
log remaining, measured from the saw.
