Machine maintenance
The splitter must be disconnected from its power source before maintenance, adjustment, replacement or
cleaning procedures. Only use spare parts supplied by the manufacturer or your retailer. If the guards of the
machine have to be removed for maintenance, they must always be reattached before activating the
machine. After maintenance and adjustment measures, the splitter must have a test run according to the
instructions in Section 4.1.
5.1.
Cutting blade and drive end
If the machine's cutting blade does not properly penetrate the wood or the cut is skewed, the blade chain is
most likely dull. It is a good idea to keep a replacement chain handy so that you do not need to interrupt
your work for sharpening the chain.
5.1.1.
Replacing and tightening the blade chain
Replace the blade chain as follows:
1.
Shut down the splitter and disconnect it from its
power source.
2.
Open the guard.
3.
Put on protective gloves and manually press the
drive end down, as show in the figure. Discharge
the pressure by lowering the drive with the
controls.
4.
Loosen the flange bolts B.
5.
Fully loosen the adjustment screw A for blade
chain tension.
6.
Remove the old blade chain.
7.
Install the new blade chain, and ensure that the
cutting teeth come first in relation to the rotating
direction.
8.
Lift the flange from the front section to tighten
the chain as you are attaching the flange bolts.
9.
Use the adjustment screw A to tighten the chain.
Figure 27.
To check the tension of the blade chain, wear protective gloves and pull the lower edge of the chain. The
tension is correct if you can pull out three teeth by applying moderate force.
