8.11 Adjusting the end stopper for the launch rod
The purpose of the end stopper for the
launch rod is to stop movement of the
launch rod so that no excess strain, caused
by the splitting mechanism, will be exerted
on the splitting valve.
The machine must be switched off. Turn on
the splitting movement using the manual
control lever.
Loosen the lock nut for the end stopper.
Adjust the screw so that the gap between
the screw and the launch rod is 0.5-1 mm.
Tighten the lock nut.
Return the splitting valve to the centre-
position.
8.12 Adjusting the launch lever pusher gap
Ensure that the splitting valve is in its
initial position and that the automatic
splitting feature is operational (the lever
is turned to the left).
Pull back the control valve for cutting
(sawing movement) and, at the same
time, pull the saw-bar down. Note. The
machine must be switched off!
Lift up the crosscut saw-bar slowly and
note when the pendulum (1, Fig. 8.9),
by means of the pusher (2), pushes the
launch rod (5) so far along that the
splitting valve will turn and lock up in the
splitting position.
If the linkage does not turn the splitting valve sufficiently to make the
splitting valve lock in the splitting position, the arm of the pusher (2) must be
extended by turning the nut (4) counter-clockwise.
Adjust the gap so that, as the splitting valve lever reaches its end position,
the pusher spring (3) is depressed by 1-5 mm until the pendulum is
released.
8.13 Adjusting the start moment of splitting
1. Open the saw-bar cover, and remove the control panel cover and the lower
cover from the rear end.
2. Ensure that the splitting valve is in its initial position and that the automatic
splitting feature is operational (the lever is turned to the left).
3. Pull back the control valve for cutting (sawing movement) and, at the same
time, pull the saw-bar down. Note. The machine must absolutely be
switched off!
