Before using the machine, the operator must ensure that
the machine has not sustained any damage
the machine’s operating environment is in accordance with Section 1.4
the machine is positioned on a solid foundation
no unauthorised persons are within the machine’s danger zone
all guards and safety devices are in place and functional
opening the splitting and cutting guard stops the machine’s hazardous functions (see items 3.3, 9 and 13
in Section 14)
the hydraulic hoses, connectors and pipes are undamaged. The hydraulic hoses and pipes must be re-
placed if they exhibit tears or depressions, if they leak, or if the surface layer of the hydraulic hose has
worn all the way down to the supporting weave.
the machine does not leak oil
the machine functions properly (Section 3.3)
Note! Do not use the machine if the requirements listed above are not met!
3.3.
Performing a test run on the machine
1.
Check that the guard for the firewood processor's cutting and splitting section is down.
2.
Check that the in-feed and out-feed conveyors are in the operating position.
3.
Ensure that the splitting groove is empty.
4.
Make sure that you are familiar with the functions of the machine's controls. If necessary, refer to Section
3.1.
5.
Activation.
a.
Tractor drive: Start the tractor and connect the output, starting with a slow speed and increasing
the speed to a maximum of 500 rpm.
b.
Electrical drive: Connect the cable to the socket of the firewood processor, start the machine by
pressing the start button and wait until the electric motor operates at full speed.
6.
Activate the machine’s splitting motion by lowering the saw bar fully into the lower position and lifting it
back up using lever D (Figure 11). The splitting motion must be normal. The splitting motion can also be ac-
tivated by pulling lever A to the right (Figure 11).
7.
Do the following to ensure that the saw chain lubrication functions automatically: (If necessary, see Sec-
tion 4.12.)
a.
Use lever D (Figure 11) to perform a few sawing motions without any actual logs.
b.
Turn off the machine and disconnect it from the power source.
c.
Open the guard and ensure that the saw chain has been supplied with oil and that the chain oil
hose has filled with oil and contains no air bubbles.
8.
Ensure that the saw chain starts running when you lower the saw bar by about 2 cm using lever D (Figure
11).
Note! In cold weather, the saw valve shaft may be sluggish at first, which means that the saw bar must be driv-
en to the bottom position a couple of times for the saw chain to run.
9.
Start the splitting cycle and stop it by opening the cradle guard of the cutting and splitting section.
10.
Ensure that the splitting blade returns to the initial position (in the middle of the splitting motion) also by
pushing lever A (Figure 11) to the left.
11.
Test run the feed and return motion of the in-feed conveyor using lever D (Figure 11) by pushing the lever
to the upper right (belt runs to the right) and upper left (belt runs to the left).
12.
Start the out-feed conveyor by using control E (Figure 11) to adjust the speed to an appropriate level for
the conveyor.
13.
Ensure that the guard does not open when the saw bar is spinning.
14.
Ensure that the splitting motion or saw blade cannot be activated with the guard open.
