.
Check the direction of rotation when starting up the machine. If the circular saw is rotat-
ing in the wrong direction, try switching the positions of the two phases in the plug. If
you are not sure how to do this, leave it to a professional.
The machine is equipped with automatic star-delta starting.
Emergency stop of an electric motor-powered machine:
The emergency stop is carried out by depressing the emergency stop button on the
starter.
The button is released by resetting the key.
NOTE !
If a machine powered by electric motor is operated in temperatures be-
low -15 degrees Centigrade, it is recommended that a less viscous hydraulic oil be
used, such as ISO VG22S multigrade oil or synthetic hydraulic fluid, because a ma-
chine with electric drive takes the full revolutions right from the start of operation.
5.2 Control of the machine
Cutting the log, starting the splitting as well as operating the infeed conveyor are con-
trolled using just one lever (21, Fig.4).
See the chapter 2.4 for the operating controls and their illustrations.
When the control lever is in the neutral position, the operating cylinder of the wedge
and the engine of the infeed conveyor are not subjected to any pressure.
Advancing the infeed conveyor:
To feed the log forward, depress the lever upwards and to the right.
Reversing the infeed conveyor:
To reverse the log, depress the lever upwards and to the left.
Cutting the log:
1. Pull the lever down to make the saw-blade perform a work cycle and cut the wood.
2. To raise the saw-blade push the lever up.
3. The splitting cycle will start automatically as the saw-blade reaches its upper posi-
tion.
5.3 Use of the firewood processor, crosscut operation
The machine is intended for operation by one person only.
