6.4  Splitting

After each cut, the log will roll onto the splitting cradle. 

When splitting, follow this procedure:

1. 

Using the wedge height lever, set the height of the 

wedge according to the diameter of the log. 

2. 

Push both splitting control levers down into detent. 

The splitting ram will begin the auto-cycle—it extends 

to split the wood, then retracts automatically. 

The control levers reset to neutral when the auto-cycle 

completes.

next cut. Continue cutting and splitting to finish the 

log.

As the first log finishes, it will be too short to winch in. 

At this point, winch in another log behind the first one 

and use it to push the first log into the cutting area.

1. 

Ensure the log in the Wood Processor is stable, 

then release the rope and hook.

2.

roll the log onto the strap using a log peavey.

4. 

Attach the winch hook onto the winch strap.

5. 

Engage winch drive mechanism with the winch 

gear lever.

6. 

Use the winch to pull log into log lead in chute. 

Ensure the log does not catch on the front lip of the 

lead in chute.

7. 

Continue to winch the log up to the first log. 

8. 

Use the second log to push the first one up to the 

cutting guide. 

9. 

After a few cuts , reposition the winch strap to the 

far end of the second log, and continue winching 

and cutting.
