Only use a fault-free power take-off drive shaft and attach the chain for the 
shaft-guard. The rotational speed of the PTO-shaft is 450–500 r.p.m. 

 

Only operate the machine on a sufficiently firm and level surface. 

 

Only operate the machine in an adequately lit space.  

 

Always check that all the covers are intact and properly fastened. 

 

Always check that the crosscut saw-bar is intact. 

 

Always ensure that the electric conductors are intact. 

 

Always check that all the controls are operational. 

 

Always check the oil level and that the hydraulic hoses and components are 
undamaged. 

 

Before starting the work, make sure  that the machine is 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 by 
the cut-off deck at the cutting point. Danger of rolling over!  

 

Exercise particular caution when cutting knotty or crooked logs, because, as 
a  result  of  faulty  cutting,  the  log  might  roll  over  or  twist  the  saw-bar  with 
enough force to break it.  

 

Keep the working space clean and clear of foreign objects.  

 

Always stop the machine before servicing.  

 

Only cut one log at a time.  

 

Danger! Stay away from moving parts. 

 

1.10 Noise emission and vibration  

 

Equivalent continuous A-weighted sound-pressure level at the workstation is 
89.5 dB (A) and the sound power level is 100.5 dB (A).  

 

The vibration emission values do not exceed the limit 2.5m/s2. 

 

1.11 Responsibilities of the operator  

 

All  the  safety-related  devices  are  necessary  to  ensure  a  sufficient  level  of 
safety. 

 

The machine operator is responsible for the flawless operation of the safety-
related  devices  and  for  ensuring  that  the  machine  is  serviced  in  a  due 
manner. 

 

Modifying the construction of the machine is prohibited. 

 

The machine may only be used to produce firewood. 

 

The operator is responsible for ensuring that no one else is subjected to any 
danger.  

 

As the operator, remember that you are responsible for any injuries caused 
if any  safety-related  devices  have  been  removed from  the  machine  or  if  its 
operation has been modified in any way. 

 

The  KS  50s  is  a  very  safe  machine  provided  that  it  is  operated  carefully 
following the instructions and that it is serviced regularly. 

 

1.12 Operating conditions  

 

Always place the machine on as level a surface as possible.
