Adjusting the log-stop, Fig. 8
The log-stop A can be set to any position between 25 and 55 cm.
Set the desired cutting length using the scale, and tighten the log-stop screws with a
wrench.
As the crosscut blade lowers, the log-stop automatically turns away from the log,
allowing it to fall down freely.
The log-stop is equipped with two shear-pins B.
The shear-pins are intended for protecting the log-stop structure against damage that
may occur if a tree of excess length ends up in the splitting chute and the pusher
pushes it to a vertical position against the log-stop.
Bolt size M 8 x 100, partial thread, strength class 8.8, M8 Nyloc nut.
NOTE !
Always put the nut on the log-stop plate side.

OPERATION OF THE FIREWOOD PROCESSOR POWERED BY
DIFFERENT POWER SOURCES
3.1
Powered by a tractor
The PTO shaft must be able to transmit an output of about 26 kW: for example,
BONDIOLI 143, WALTERSCHEID W 2300 or EGT40.
No safety clutch is required for the PTO shaft.
Only use fault-free PTO shafts and always attach the chains for the shaft-guard to the
machine.
When you disconnect the PTO shaft from the tractor, hang it in the hook on the
machine.
If the power take-off of the tractor has a high-speed range, it is recommended to use it,
because the horsepower requirement of the Firewood Processor is small. The suitable
range of speeds for the PTO shaft is from min. 450 to max. 540 rpm.

Emergency stop switch of the tractor powered machine, Fig. 9
The tractor-powered machine is equipped with a special Rapid Stop Device which
disengages the transmission from the angular gear to the machine in a matter of
seconds and stops the operation of the machine completely.
In an emergency situation, push lever A upwards to the point where it locks. In this
