Lower the guard, place the splitter's operating lever to the Run position and re-activate the splitting
process with the activation pedal G (in Figure 19).

Jamming the cutting blade
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. Moreover, sawing with an evenly dull chain is inefficient, and the chain must be sharpened or
replaced (see Section 6.2).
With the Easy model,
also ensure that the lowering speed/pressure of the cutting flange is not
excessive in proportion to the log size! The pressure of the cutting flange's downward motion can be
adjusted by using the pressure adjustment cartridge in the figure.
Figure 35.

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. In this way, the wood will stay firmly under the wood press. The sawing will be steady
and safe when you help the wood press by pressing it against the wood with the handle B (in Figure 19).
Drive the last wood piece directly into the splitting section, and start the splitting process with the pedal.
The pressure adjustment
cartridge for the cutting
flange's downward motion. To
increase the pressure, tighten
the hex socket screw. To
reduce the pressure, loosen
the screw. There is no
separate design value for the
cartridge. The operator should
adjust the pressure as
necessary.
