Operating the machine
4.1.
Performing a test run on the machine
The machine may not be used before a test run has been performed and all the functions of the machine have
been tested. Both the test run and testing can only be performed by a person who has studied the machine’s
manual.
Before the test run, all of the components of the firewood processor must be checked. If any faults or wear
and tear that may affect the safe use of the machine are discovered, the processor must not be used until the
faulty or worn component is replaced and safe use can be ensured.
1.
Make sure that you are familiar with the functions of the machine's controls. If necessary, see
2.
Operate in-feed conveyor C (
) empty, and ensure that the rollers run freely and in the right
direction.
3.
Operate chain conveyor A empty, and ensure that the chains run freely and in the right direction.
4.
Load logs on chain conveyor A, and use one log to test the operation before beginning actual work.
If a fault occurs during the test run, determine the cause of the fault and take remedial action as deemed
necessary. The machine must be shut down and disconnected from the power source for the duration of both
the diagnostics and repairs.
4.2.
Loading logs onto the chain conveyor
Use a forklift with a sufficiently long fork to ensure safe loading.
-
Always load logs from the chain conveyor side.
-
Lower the logs on the chains carefully. Never drop logs on the chains.
-
Load logs in the machine with the stem end first, and ensure that the centre of gravity is in the middle
so that the logs cannot tip to the side off the conveyor.
-
Do not exceed the load-bearing capacity of the table (
), and leave enough room for the free
operation of dispenser B.
-
Smaller logs can be stacked on top of each other, but a total height of 50 cm must not be exceeded.
Note! Ensure that there are no other people in the vicinity of the machine when loading logs!
Note! Ensure that the log’s centre of gravity stays on the conveyor!
