Operation of the splitting mechanism
The splitting mechanism has automatic operation, but it can be operated manually as well.
Automatic launch of the splitting stroke.
The splitting stroke is launched as soon as the saw-
bar is lifted up after the cutting operation. The
splitting stroke starts when the saw-bar comes close
to its upper position.
Manual start, Fig. 5.2
The splitting stroke is launched by turning its control
lever (A) momentarily to its extreme position in the
right.
The pusher returns automatically to its initial
position.
The pusher can be returned to its initial position in
the middle of its stroke by turning the control lever
for splitting momentarily to its extreme position in
the left.
