Always check the oil level and make sure that the hydraulic hoses and components are
free of damage.
Before starting the work, make sure that the machine is firmly in position.
During operation
Carelessness during the cut-off operation constitutes a major hazard!
During the cut-off operation, make sure that at the cutting point the tree is always sup-
ported by the support rollers of the crosscut deck: danger of rolling over!
Exercise particular caution when cutting knotty or crooked logs, because, as a result of
faulty cutting, the log might roll over or twist the saw-bar with enough force to break it.
Keep the working space clean and clear of foreign objects.
Always stop the machine and disconnect the power supply cable or the power take-off
shaft before servicing.
Only cut one log at a time.
Danger! Stay away from moving parts.
1.8 Noise emission and vibration
The equivalent continuous A-weighted sound-pressure level at the workstation is about 88
dB (A) and the sound power level is about 102 dB (A). The vibration emission values do
not exceed 2.5 m/s2.
1.9 Responsibilities of the operator
The machine may only be used to produce firewood.
All the safety-related devices are necessary to ensure a sufficient level of safety.
The Power 100 is a very safe machine provided that the instructions supplied are
properly followed, the regular maintenance routines are duly executed and the work is
carried out without haste.
It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure before the work is started that all the safety-re-
lated devices are in perfect order and the machine has been serviced in a due manner.
The operator is responsible for ensuring that no one else is subjected to any danger.
Modifying the construction of the machine is prohibited.
The machine must never be operated under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Remember that as the operator you are responsible for any injuries caused if safety-
related devices have been removed from the machine.
1.10 Operating conditions
Always place the machine on as level a surface as possible.
Prevent risks, such as slipping in winter, by organising the work site in a due manner.
Otherwise the weather conditions do not set any restrictions on the operation. When
starting the machine in severe frost, allow it to idle at about 1/4 of the maximum speed
for about 5 to 10 minutes.
Only operate the machine in an adequately lit space.
It is recommended that a suitable stand be purchased or made that enables the trees
to be processed where the logs are ready at the level of the in-feed deck. Hence, un-
necessary lifting may be avoided and the work can proceed much faster. We recom-
mend using either the Palax Mega log-deck or the Palax Log log-stand.
The most suitable temperature range for operation is approximately - 20 to +30 de-
grees Centigrade. Otherwise, the weather conditions do not set any restrictions on the
