6 USE OF THE FIREWOOD PROCESSOR, SPLITTING OPERATION
6.1 Splitting cylinder

The machine can be equipped with a splitting cylinder of either 10 tons or 16 tons.
6.2 Splitting wedges
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 2/8 wedge for splitting the wood in 2 or 8 ways. Normally requires a cylinder of 10
tons.

The 2/10 -wedge for splitting the wood in 2 or 12 ways. Normally requires a cylinder of
16 tons.

The 2/12 -wedge for splitting the wood in 2 or 12 ways. Normally requires a cylinder of
16 tons.
6.3 Height adjustment of the splitting wedge

The machine is equipped with a hydraulic system for height adjustment of the wedge.

It is possible to both raise and lower the wedge during the operation.
6.4 Disturbances during the splitting operation and their remedy
A stuck log:

As the logs are big and have big branches, the cylinder force might not be sufficient,
and the log might stick to the blade. To make the log come off, do the following.
1. Reverse the cylinder using the manual control.
2. Raise the splitting-wedge and retry the splitting using the manual control. Changing
the position of the log will help in many cases.
3. If the log will not split, open the cover and knock the stuck log loose using another
log.
4. If the log has a big branch, make the branch split by turning the log and pushing it
towards the wedge with the root end first. Doing it this way requires the least
power..
If the log has fallen into the splitting chute in a wrong position:

After the cutting operation, if the log for some reason falls into an upright position, then
the splitting motion may be prevented by pushing the control lever for forced splitting to
the left (Fig. 4, lever 20), and simultaneously lifting up the cutting blade. In this case the
automatic splitting operation does not start.

After that, correct the position of the log and start the splitting motion manually by psu-
hing the lever for forced splitting to the right.
