5. Use of the firewood processor, splitting operation
5.1.
Splitting speed and force

Normally the splitting movement is executed at the highest possible speed when the splitting
force is the lowest.

As the force requirement increases, the machine automatically adopts a greater splitting force.
The splitting force is increased in steps so that it can be about 5, 10 or 16 tons. The change of
the splitting force affects inversely to the splitting speed. When the force is low, the speed is
high and vice versa.

As the log starts splitting, and the force requirement is reduced, the machine adopts a lower
splitting force, which means the splitting speed is increased.
5.2. Splitting wedges

Keep the splitting wedge sharp and observe during handling that the logs do not contain
anything, which could damage it.

The height of the splitting wedge can be adjusted hydraulically using the lever in the control
panel.
Standard wedge:

The 2/6 wedge for splitting the wood in 2 or 6 ways.
Optional wedges:

The short straight wedge for splitting the wood in 2 ways or, if the wedge is lowered, no
splitting will take place.

The 2/4 -wedge for splitting the wood in 2 or 4 ways.

The 2/8 wedge for splitting the wood in 2 or 8 ways.

The 2/10 -wedge for splitting the wood in 2 or 12 ways.

The 2/12 -wedge for splitting the wood in 2 or 12 ways.
