How do the safety-related devices affect the machine's
functionality
Protective net for the splitting chute
The protective net must always be closed when the machine is being operated.
The machine's hydraulic functions are not operational, if the protective net is open.
If the net is opened amid the splitting operation, the splitting movement will stop and the
cylinder will return to its rear position.
Active log-clamp
Figure 21
The hydraulic log-clamp A, Fig. 22, is an easy-to-operate device that prevents the log from
moving during cutting.
The grooved roller of the log-clamp efficiently prevents the log from turning during cutting. Long
and straight logs stay in position on the deck by their own weight during the cutting.
The log-clamp shall always be used when cutting short or slender trees, because otherwise the
saw-chain could easily "bite" in these small and light trees causing a hazard.
As necessary, the pressing force of the clamp can be increased
via the lever B, Fig. 23.
Length of the log-clamp can be changed. When cutting long
pieces log-clamp can be set to shortest position to add clamping
force.
