5.1 JAMMING OF THE CUTTING BLADE
If the cutting blade gets jammed in the log, stop sawing and try again on another section of the log. If the
cut is
misaligned because the bar drags to one side, the sharpness of the saw chain must be checked.
A
chain that is not evenly sharp will always drag towards the blunter side, which will make cutting a thick log
impossible. Moreover, sawing with an evenly dull chain is inefficient, and the chain must be sharpened or
replaced (see Section 4.6).
5.2 JAMMING OF THE WOOD ON THE SPLITTING KNIFE
If a piece of wood gets jammed on the splitting knife in a situation where the splitting force is insufficient to
push the piece past the knife despite several attempts to do so, do the following:
Return the splitting cylinder to the initial position with lever C (Figure 15).
Ensure that the log to be split does not exceed the maximum allowable dimensions.
Lift the splitting knife to the highest possible position with lever D (Figure 15) and activate the splitting.
If necessary, cut a sufficiently thick piece of wood (approx. 10 cm), place it into the splitting groove behind
the jammed piece, and activate the splitting process. The new piece will then push the bottom part of the
jammed piece past the knife. Lower the knife by approx. 5 cm and repeat step 3. Repeat step 4 until the
jammed wood has passed the knife, piece by piece.
