General regulations and restrictions
Maximum length of the log that can be cut is 4 metres. If no log-stand or log-deck is used.
Maximum diameter of the log that can be split is 40 cm.
The machine is exclusively intended for the production of firewood.
The machine may be operated by one person only.
The danger zone around the conveyor is 5 metres to the sides and away from the conveyor.
The machine must be equipped with additional lights for transport on public roads.
The in-feed deck and the discharge conveyor must always be lifted up and locked in the transport
position for transport.
Only persons over 18 years of age are allowed to operate the machine.
Never remove any safety-related devices from the machine.
The operator
Every person operating the machine, must thoroughly study the entire user manual.
Always use eye guards and hearing protectors.
Always wear protective shoes.
Always wear work gloves.
Do not wear loosely-fitting clothing.
Before use
Always carry out the required preparations on both the machine and the conveyor before
starting the machine.
Make sure that all other people stay outside the work area.
Only use a fault-free PTO shaft and attach the chain for the shaft-guard. The permissible
revolutions range of the PTO shaft is 400–450 r.p.m.
Operate the machine on a sufficiently firm and level surface.
Only operate the machine in an adequately lit space.
Keep the tractor-powered machine connected to one of the drawbars. Ensure that sufficient
space is provided for the PTO shaft and its guard.
Always check that all the covers are intact and properly fastened.
Always ensure that the saw-chain is in perfect condition.
Always ensure that the electric conductors are intact.
Always check that all the operating controls are operational.
Always check the oil level and make sure that the hydraulic hoses and components are free of
damage.
Before starting the work, make sure that the machine stands firmly in position.
During operation
Carelessness during the cut-off operation constitutes a major hazard!
During the cut-off operation, make sure that the log is always supported on the in-feed belt at
the cutting point: danger of rolling over!
Exercise particular caution when cutting knotty or crooked logs, as faulty cutting might roll the
log over or twist the saw-bar with enough force to break it.
Keep the work area clean and clear of foreign objects.
Always stop the machine and disconnect the power supply cable or the PTO shaft before
servicing.
