The standard equipment of the output conveyor
includes a debris removal device. It separates smaller
debris and sawdust from the processed firewood. Due
to its lower kinetic energy and smaller size, this waste
material does not fly over the separation plate A with
the split wood. Instead, it falls to the bottom of the
conveyor, after which it is led to the middle section of
the conveyor and expelled through the discharge
opening.
Figure 19. Adjustment of the debris removal
device
The following things significantly affect the operation of the debris removal device: the angle of the discharge
conveyor, the speed of the belt and the distance of the separation plate A from the upper roller of the
conveyor. In other words, the debris separation result is better the steeper the angle (however, no more than
40 degrees), the lower the speed and the longer the distance between the separation plate A and the upper
roller. The distance of the separation plate A is optimised at the factory in conjunction with the machine's
testing. However, the adjustment can be changed, if necessary. The optimal running speed for the belt can be
determined by trying different settings. The split wood should only just pass over the plate. The adjustment
plate can be adjusted with the separation plate screws B.
The operator must ensure that the distance between the debris discharge opening and the pile of debris that
accumulates under it is at least 20 cm.

After use
1.
After you have finished making firewood, stop the output conveyor, shut down the machine and
remove the firewood from the splitting groove and conveyor.
2.
Ensure that the machine has not been damaged.
3.
Place the output conveyor into a position that allows the conveyor and log splitter to be moved safely
off the processed firewood.
4.
Clean the log splitter.
If you will not be using the splitter for a while, do the following:
5.
As necessary, use your tractor's hydraulics or a forklift to hoist the log splitter and carefully move it to
a location where you can place the input and output conveyors as well as the working platform into
their transport and storage positions.
6.
Place the conveyors into the transport and storage position.
7.
Clean and maintain the machine.
8.
Store the splitter according to the instructions in Section 10.
