4.3. Sawing

To transfer the log for cutting,
shift the control lever to the
front, in direction A, (Fig. 4.2).

Ensure that the log stays on the
in-feed conveyor throughout
the feed operation.

As soon as the end of the log
comes into contact with the
length limiter, cut the log by
pulling the control lever to the
rear, in direction B.

As the lever is actuated, the
crosscut saw-bar goes down
and the saw-motor starts up.

To start the splitting operation,
move the control lever into its
extreme position C and then
return it to its initial position.


During the transfer, the operator must be at the operating controls and absolutely not by the
moving log. While the log is lying on the in-feed deck and on the feed roller during transfer,
always make sure that neither your hands nor other parts of your body get squeezed between
the log and parts of the machine.

Do not put your hand inside the protective net.

If the log bumps into the edge of the cutting opening or any other part of the machine, the feed
movement of the conveyor must be stopped. Correct the position of the log, and check that it is
not too large.

The log must stay in position on the in-feed conveyor throughout the execution of the last cut. If
the remaining part of the trunk is not long enough for two full-length pieces of firewood, leave
the full-length part on the in-feed conveyor, place the shorter end on the splitting chute, and do
the cutting in this position. This is to ensure that the longer and heavier part of the log is not left
hanging without support, which would make it rise up from under the saw-bar. The length scale
is located above the in-feed conveyor and the zero-point is at the saw-bar.
4.4. Instruction for problematic situations

If the saw-bar gets stuck or does not bite into the log properly, lift the saw-bar up, and try to
saw anew at the same place. If the sawing is still not successful, move the log a little.
Crooked trees

Cut crooked trees where they bend.

When cutting crooked trees, make sure that the log is properly supported by the in-feed deck.
Big trees

Make sure that the rotational speed of the saw-blade is correct. Min. 400 r.p.m, max .450 r.p.m.

Make sure that the saw-chain is sharp and properly lubricated.
