Translation
When the valve is turned clockwise, the descending speed decreases, and when
turned counter-clockwise, it increases.
For thick logs, it pays to reduce the speed. This decreases the load on the transmis-
sion and the crosscut blade.
Reducing the proceeding speed slightly does not affect the total processing time,
because splitting a thicker log also takes more time.
