Cut
B. Second log:
As you finish the first log, you will find it is
too short to winch in. At that point another
log can be used to move the first one into the
cutting area. When working with a second
log, follow this procedure:
1. Ensure the log in the Wood Processor is stable,
release the rope and hook.
2. Grasp the hook on the winch rope, and pull the
rope out to the second log.
3. Wrap the winch strap around log. You may need
to roll the log onto the scrap using a log peavey.
4. Attach the winch hook onto the winch strap.
5. Engage winch drive mechanism with the winch
gear lever.
6. Use the winch to pull log into log lead in chute.
Ensure the log does not catch on the front lip of
the lead in chute.
7.
Continue to winch the log up to the first log.
8.
Use the second log to push the first one up to
the cutting guide.
9. After a few cuts , reposition the winch strap
to the far end of the second log, and continue
winching and cutting.
