General
IMPORTANT: Do not process toward the cab
1. Once the tree has been delimbed it is ready to be
crosscut into desired products.
2. Depending on log size when cross cutting it will be
necessary to support the large end.
3. If a multiple of log grades are being processed, it
is necessary to ensure planning has taken place to
ensure placement of various grades in order to be
recovered by following operations.
4. When working on confined landings, ensure safety
procedures and practices are in place and adhered to.
Debarking
1. The process is similar to the above, with the major
difference being the predominant use of debarking
feed wheels to remove bark from stems.
2. The tree is feed through the harvester head until the
harvester bark is removed by the action of the wheels.
The tree is then processed.
Measuring
1. Inspect the butt of the tree and re-cut as required.
2. Look at the measuring wheel while processing. If you
see the measuring wheel slipping while processing,
restart the tree from the beginning, resetting measuring
at the butt.
3. Keep the measuring wheel in view when selecting a
log length. Any sudden movements of the harvester
head may cause the wheel to stop or spin.
4. A support log may be required for longer logs to
prevent breakage: the log being measured should
slide smoothly along the log underneath. If not, try
another stack of logs.
5. Avoid reversing when measuring. Returning to the end
of a log and starting again will provide more accurate
length measuring.
6. Before activating the saw, check the diameter and
length readouts.
7. If measuring equipment is being used, carry out
calibration checks at regular intervals.
8. When handling two stems, align their butts either by
a saw cut or using the find end before measuring to
length.
