5.7 Adjusting the speed of the splitting blade adjustment cylinder, Figure 23
‰
A = Flow regulation valve

B = Control valve of splitting cylinder
Adjustment
‰
The speed of the adjustment cylinder is increased by
turning the valve A open.
NOTE! Use as small a flow as possible as the diverted oil
flow is lacking from the flow to the splitting cylinder.
5.8 Disturbances during the splitting operation and their remedy
Stuck wood
‰
As the logs are big and have big branches, the force of the cylinder may fall short.
‰
If the tree sticks to the wedge, reverse the cylinder using the pedal.
‰
Raise the splitting-wedge and retry the splitting using the manual control. Changing the
position of the log will help in many cases.
‰
If the log does not split, depress the splitting cylinder stopper pedal. Thus the cylinder
reverses and the control valve locks-up. Now it is safe to remove the log.
‰
Open the net cage and hit the stuck wood loose using another piece of wood.
‰
If there is a big branch in the tree, turn the tree to such a position that you can push it
towards the wedge with the root end first to make the branch split. Doing so requires
the least power.
5.9 Re-splitting the logs safely
If you want to produce small-size firewood from large logs, even wood split by the 4 or 6-
way wedge may still be too large in size.
Proceeding in the following way will help you to split the wood safely into even smaller
pieces.
‰
Open the net cage.
‰
Put the wood you intend to split into the splitting-trough, e.g. one on top of the other.
The pieces of wood will stay in this position, if you hit them carefully against the wedge.
‰
Close the net cage.
‰
Start the splitting operation with the manually-operated start lever.
