Test whether the emergency stop switch functions properly. Once the emergency stop switch is pushed down, pressing down the button switches on the log lock handle and the log saw handle simultaneously cannot activate the rotation of the chain saw to cut wood and pushing down the cylinder control switch on the electric box cannot activate the push block into forward stroke to split wood, although the machine is still in power.

6. Lock the cross wedge to the proper position by the wedge adjusting handle and the wedge lock handle based on the log’s size. Check whether the sawed log that drops into the splitting area needs to be repositioned. If necessary, open the steel mesh to place the sawed log to the proper position for splitting and then hook the steel mesh to hold down the limit switch.
FREE A JAMMED LOG Open the main steel mesh, dismantle the protecting wire net and take out the jammed log and cross wedge. Knock the jammed log with a hammer off the cross wedge. Put the cross wedge into the groove. REPLACING OIL The hydraulic system is a closed system with oil tank, oil pump and control valve.
Use a drain pan to aid in the removal of all used oil and particles. Dismantle hydraulic oil filter to take out filter net, lift nose wheel, and place a drain pan under oil outlet to drain oil from the hydraulic transmission system. Examine oil for metal chips as a precaution to future problems.
