6.6 Last Log
As you finish the last log, you will find it is too short to
winch in. At that point:
1. Move the log using a log peavey as a lever
inserted into holes at side of chute.
CAUTION!
Risk of serious injury. Never attempt to push a
log through the stabilizer opening by hand. The
stabilizer could drop suddenly and cause serious
injury. Always use appropriate procedure and
tools to push or pull the log through the opening.

2. Lever the log up to the cutting guide, until it is fully
processed.
3. Be aware of the heavy log stabilizer. Use caution
when finishing up the last log.
6.7 Efficient Processing
We recommend following this procedure for an
effective work flow:
1. Move log into position with winch or peavey.
2. Cut log and let it roll into the splitting cradle.
3. Engage splitter.
4. While the log is being automatically split, use the
winch to move the next log segment into position.
5. Cut the next log segment.
6.
The previous log has finished splitting and the ram
has returned to its start position.
7. Allow the cut log to roll into the cradle, begin
splitting, while winching the log into position for the
next cutting.
8. Repeat until complete.
6.8 Pull Angle
CAUTION!
Risk of machine tip over. Do not exceed ±25° pull
angle from the horizontal axis of the machine.
When winching a log, do not exceed ±25° from the
horizontal axis of the machine. Exceeding that angle
risks tipping the machine over.
Use a log peavey to move the log in line with the Wood
Processor.
Fig. 35 – Pull angle must be less than 25°
