5. Operation
Locate your processor only on firm, level ground. Site must be free of
slippery surfaces and tripping obstacles.
Danger!
NEVER operate your chainsaw fi rewood processor on slippery, wet,
muddy, or icy surfaces. The location you choose should be flat, dry, and
free from any interference.
Secure the conveyor stand against possible slipping by means of the
special limit chain located at the base of the conveyor.
Now swing down the infeed conveyor on the right hand side of the ma-
chine and let the stay rod underneath it snap into the special holder on
the chassis (see figure 1).
Close the protection grid over the log splitter section and make sure that
all safeties and protections are well in place and properly working.
Load timber on the infeed belt (Figure 2). Feed the timber all the way
against the special length-gauge (stop plate) located on the other side
of the chainsaw. (See figure 3), operating the multifunctional control
lever down with your right hand whilst advancing the timber with the
hold-down using your left hand.(see figure 3) and adjust to the desired
position.
PLEASE NOTE: this machine is conceived for cutting one single
timber piece at a time. DO NOT EVER CUT BUNDLED FIREWOOD!!
To engage the chiansaw and start the cycle, push the multifunctional
control lever down with your right hand whilst keeping the hold-
down firmly clamped on your timber with your left hand. Keep
the multifunctional lever down to the first step until the chainsaw
has completely cut the timber through. Logs that are cut off the
saw automatically roll down into the splitter trough. Now, pull the
multifunctional control lever a further step down to operate the push-
block of the log splitter section and start splitting.
When splitting is completed, shift the multifunctional control lever back
into the original start-position. The push-block slides inside the splitter
trough pushing the log towards the 4-way wedge that splits into 2,
4 or 6 pieces depending on the number of wings. The push-block is
operated by an hydraulic ram that automatically slides back to start-
position as soon as it reaches against stroke-end (maximum stroke is
completed and pressure is released).
While the push-block slides back, the machine is ready for feeding the
remaining timber against length gauge and start a new cycle again.
