Cutting the last log
Fig. 21
Always observe the remaining length of the log.
If you intend to cut pieces of firewood 30 cm in length, then you must cut the so-called
equalizing piece at the latest when the remaining length of the log is 2 times the cutting
length (in this example 2 x 30 cm). This ensures that the last piece cut is never too
short. The clamp (Fig. 3) cannot prevent a log that’s too short from swinging against
the saw-blade. The swinging of the log may break the blade.
5.9 Feeding the last log for splitting
Drop the last piece of the log, without allowing it to touch the blade, onto the dropping
plate (Fig. 3) and from there to the splitting chute for splitting (Fig. 4, lever 16). In this
case launch the splitting motion manually (Fig. 4, lever 20) after first ensuring that the
log has fallen into the chute in the correct position.
The scale above the infeed conveyor helps to cut the equalizing piece.
