Protective cover of splitting trough, Figure 25
The splitting motion does not operate unless the net cage
of the splitting trough is in the closed-position.
If the protective net is lifted by about 30 mm, the splitting
motion will stop and the cylinder will reverse to its initial
position.
Warning
! To ensure the required safety level, do not
remove any of the safety features from the machine.

Operation of the splitting device
6.1 Sensor, Figure 26
The sensor is placed in the splitting-trough so that the
falling log always hits it straight on.
Small logs are also capable of starting the splitting motion.
6.2 Parts of the splitting device, Figure 27
1. A device which prevents the start of the hydraulic valve
2. Safety wedge
3. Limiter bearing
4. Sensor
5. Control rod for manual start
6. Limiter of splitting hub
7. Launch rod
6.3 Operational principle of
launching
1. As the wood falls into the splitting-
trough, it hits the tip of the sensor,
Figure 26.
2. The sensor rod 4 (Figure 27) lifts up the launch rod, 7, which is released from behind
the fixed limiter bearing 3.
3. The launch rod 7 starts the splitting motion by means of the spring force.
6.4 Hand-start of the splitting motion, Figure 28
The splitting motion can also be started with the hand-start
lever by pushing the lever in the direction of the arrow.
The hand-start lever affects the control lever 5 (Figure 27)
which pushes the slanting surface of the launch rod 7. Thus
the launch rod comes up from behind the limiter bearing 3 and
the splitting motion starts.
