SUPERAXE
WS300/400/450
OPERATION
The Superaxe works on the leverage principal. It develops enormous cutting force
close to the pivot point of the blade and less force at the tip of the blade. The edge
of the sharpened blade should contact the face of the block close to the post. This
is the area of greatest splitting power.
To get the best performance from the
Superaxe the blocks should be cut into even lengths to suit the blade height
setting of the Woodsplitter or the blade height setting altered to suit the
average length of timber.
(See Page 7)
The axe has 4 positions of height adjustment, which will cater for 9”, 12” 15” 18”
blocks.
TO CHANGE THE AXE HEIGHT- (18mm spanner or shifter required)
1. Set axe in a horizontal position and turn engine off.
2. Remove main pivot pin and raise or lower axe and replace pin. (Wear hand
protection)
3. Remove lower ram pivot pin and raise or lower ram and replace pin. Be sure
ram and axe pin holes correspond (See below)
