4.
Cut the log by pressing the button B (Figure 10) of the joystick D. The button activates the blade chain.
Then, lower the cutting flange by moving the joystick D backwards.
5.
Return the cutting flange to the raised position by pushing the joystick D forwards, which
automatically stops the splitting function.
Note! Ensure that the wood being fed does not collide with a lowered wood press or flange.
4.3.1.
Blade jamming
Ensure that the cutting flange's downward motion has not been adjusted (flow valve B in Figure 9 of Section
3.2) to be too fast in proportion to the size of the wood.
If the cutting blade is jammed in the wood, stop sawing and try again in another position. If the cut is
misaligned because the flange drags to one side, the sharpness of the blade chain must be checked. A chain
that is not evenly sharp always drags to the duller side, which makes cutting a thicker log impossible. On the
other hand, sawing with an evenly dull chain is inefficient, and the chain must be sharpened or replaced (see
Section 5.1.1).
4.3.2.
Sawing the last log
When sawing wood, the second to last piece should be sawed in such a way that the remaining piece is of a
sufficient length. This ensures that the wood will stay firmly under the hydraulic wood press and that the
sawing will be steady and safe.
Drive the last wood piece directly into the splitting section, and start the splitting process with the pedal G in
Figure 9.
4.4.
Splitting wood
The splitting beam performs the splitting motion automatically whenever the cutting flange is lowered all the
way down (control D in Figure 9 of Section 3.2 up/down) and raised back up again.
You can also start the splitting motion with the pedal (G in Figure 9) by briefly pressing it. Do not keep the
pedal pressed for long – about one second is enough. The foot pedal is primarily intended for splitting the last
piece of wood. By using the pedal, the operator has no need to unnecessarily lower the cutting flange.
Instead, the splitting can be activated more quickly and easily with the pedal.
If there is a problem with splitting and the splitting beam must be prematurely returned to the initial position,
open the guard of the cutting and splitting section, which stops the splitting function. Then, press the pedal F
in Figure 9 down and hold it down until the beam has fully returned to the initial position.
4.4.1.
Jamming wood on the splitting blade
If a piece of wood gets jammed on the splitting blade in a situation where the splitting force is insufficient to
push the piece past the blade, do the following:
1.
Restore the splitting beam to the initial position with the reverse pedal (pedal F in Figure 9).
2.
Lift the splitting blade to the highest possible position (control C in Figure 9).
3.
Cut a sufficiently thick piece of wood (approx. 20–25 cm) into the splitting groove, and activate the
splitting process with the pedal (G in Figure 9). The new piece will then push the jammed piece past
the blade.
4.
Lower the blade by approx. 10 cm and repeat step 3. Repeat step 4 until the jammed wood has
passed the blade piece by piece.
