VERSION 1-2015
Before the actual operation of the machine, a test run and functional test must be carried out. Both the
test run and testing can only be performed by a person who has studied the machine’s manual.
Before the test run, all of the components of the firewood processor must be checked. If any faults or wear
and tear that may affect the safe use of the machine are discovered, the processor must not be used until
the faulty or worn component is replaced and safe use can be ensured.
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 11, 12
and 15 in Section 3.3)
the hydraulic hoses and pipes are undamaged. The pipes must be replaced if there is a tear in the
hoses or pipes, 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!
3.2 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 input and output 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:
-
Tractor drive: Start the tractor and connect the output, starting with a slow speed and increas-
ing the speed to a maximum of 410 rpm.
-
Electrical drive: Connect the cable to the socket of the firewood processor, start the machine
by pressing the start button and wait a moment. This will activate the electric motor at full
speed.
6.
Start the splitting motion by pushing up lever C. The splitting beam must move forward by pushing
the lever up, and must stop immediately when the lever is returned to the initial position. The split-
ting beam must move backwards by pulling the lever down, and must stop immediately when the
lever is returned to the initial position.
7.
Do the following to ensure that the saw chain lubrication functions automatically: (If necessary, see
Section 4.10).
a.
Use lever C (Figure 15) 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 see if the saw chain has been supplied with oil.
8.
Ensure that the saw chain starts running when you lower the saw bar by about 2 cm using lever C
(Figure 15).
