4. Use of the firewood processor, crosscut operation
4.1.
During the operation

Exercise caution, always keep your hands away from the saw-blade.

During the crosscut operation, make sure that the log always is supported on the in-feed deck
at the cutting point.
Placing the wood on the deck
WARNING! Wrongly positioned trees may get turned over on the deck by the cutting force. This
might badly twist the saw-bar, causing it to break.

The machine is equipped with an in-feed conveyor driven by a hydraulic motor, and a log-
clamp equipped with a hydraulic cylinder and motor. The toothed roller transfers the log to
the exact length set by means of the hydraulic log length limiter.

Select the log that you wish to process. Note that the maximum diameter of the log allowed
for the machine is 34 cm. The presence of branches and the shape of the tree may increase the
classified diameter of the trunk. When transferring the log to the machine, be careful not to
endanger or harm the operator or the machine.

The operator must take into account the weight of the large logs, and ensure that he does not
get injured while lifting them.

We recommend using a log-deck, such as Palax Mega or Palax Midi, to make the work easier.

To transfer the log for cutting, shift the control lever
of the in-feed conveyor to the front and to the right,
in direction A, (Fig. 4.1). Lift up the log-clamp by
simultaneously pulling back the lever of the log-
clamp. Lower the log-clamp onto the trunk as soon
as the head of the trunk has passed by the clamp.
When the log reaches the length limiter, stop the in-
feed belt by returning the joystick to its initial
position.

Ensure that the log stays on the in-feed conveyor
throughout the feed operation.

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 conveyor 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.

If the log bumps into the edge of the cutting opening or any other part of the machine and
stops, stop the in-feed conveyor and turn the control lever to the left, in direction B, to make
the conveyor reverse. 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.
