
Using the operating lever (Fig. 3.1, 5.), bring the dropping plate deep into the splitting chute.
Transfer the last billet with the in-feed conveyor into the splitting chute. Using the operating
lever, drop the billet from the top of the dropping plate to the bottom of the chute, and
manually start the splitting operation (Fig. 3.1,4). Note. The in-feed belt does not run, if the
saw-bar is not in its upper position.
4.2. Crosscut operation

During the crosscut operation, make sure that the log always is supported on the in-feed deck
at the cutting point.

Be especially careful when cutting knotty or crooked trees.

When the log stops for cutting, return the feed lever to its initial position. Before cutting the
log, make sure it is not too twiggy or its form is not such that cutting it might be hazardous or
cause some damage.

Cut the log by pulling back the control lever for
feeding and cutting, in direction C (Fig. 4.2).

As the lever is actuated, the crosscut saw-bar goes
down and the saw-motor starts up.

Always execute the sawing movement by pulling the
handle completely to the rear. The lowering speed
of the saw-bar is automatically adjusted in
accordance with the cutting speed of the saw-chain.
You can increase the cutting speed by adjusting the
turning force of the saw-bar.

Keep the lever in its extreme position until the log is
cut. Always make sure that the cut-off log aligns with
the chute.

Return the saw-bar to its upper position in direction D. The splitting stroke will launch
automatically.
4.3. Instruction for problematic situations

If the saw-bar gets stuck or does not bite into the log properly, lift the saw-bar up, and try to
saw anew at the same place. If the sawing is still not successful, move the log a little.
Crooked trees

Cut crooked trees where they bend.

When cutting crooked trees, make sure that the log is properly supported by the in-feed deck.
Big trees

Make sure that the rotational speed of the saw-blade is correct. Min. 450 r.p.m., max 500
r.p.m.

Make sure that the saw-chain is sharp and properly lubricated.
Cutting small trees

Ensure that the log is travelling at the rear edge of the in-feed deck.

Only cut one log at a time.

Make sure that the log is kept firmly in position under the clamp during sawing.
