5. Use of the firewood processor, splitting operation
5.1. Splitting wedges

Keep the splitting wedge sharp and make sure during
handling that the logs do not contain anything that could
damage it.

The height of the splitting wedge can be adjusted. To
adjust the height in the basic model, turn open the
attachment screw A, Fig. 5.1, and lift or lower the wedge
to the desired height.
Standard wedge:

The 2/0 wedge – a short straight wedge for splitting the
wood in 2 ways or, if the wedge is lowered, no splitting will take place.
Optional wedges:

The 2/4 wedge for splitting the wood in 2 or 4 ways.

The delivery of the optional wedge includes an
adjustment lever, by means of which the splitting
wedge can be lowered steplessly, in the direction A,
Fig. 5.2, or raised in the direction B.
5.2. Disturbances during the splitting
operation and their remedy

If the logs are big and have big branches, the force of the pusher may not be sufficient.

If the billet sticks to the wedge, open and shut the protective net to reverse the pusher to its
initial position.

Raise the splitting-wedge and retry to split the billet by launching the splitting operation by
pulling the control lever to the rear. Changing the position of the billet often helps.

If the billet does not split, open and shut the protective net to reverse the pusher into its initial
position. Open the protective net again, after the pusher reaches its initial position. Now it is
safe to remove the billet.

Open the protective net and hit the stuck billet loose using another piece of wood.

If there is a big branch on the billet, turn the billet around so you are able to split the branch by
pushing the billet against the wedge with the butt-end first. Doing it this way requires the least
power.

If the billet rises up during splitting, open and shut the protective net to reverse the pusher into
its initial position.
