Page 13: Sawing
4.3. SAWING The barsaw is always operating. The sawbar movement is performed using the sawbar activation handle (H-Figure: 7), during which the sawed log must be held using the retaining handle (P-Figure: 7). When the sawing begins, the trapdoor (13-Figure: 8) moves away automatically, so the log can fall freely into a splitting chute after the cut. -
Page 14: Adjusting The Height Of The Splitting Wedge
4.4.1. ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE SPLITTING WEDGE By using a splitting wedge handle (L-Figure: 10), the splitting wedge can be gradually lifted or lowered depending on the diameter of the logs - so the logs are split in center. Splitting wedge adjustment can be performed most easily when the splitting chute is empty or at the point when the splitting cylinder start to move. -
Page 15: Proper Use Of Splitting Wedge
4.4.2. PROPER USE OF SPLITTING WEDGE To ensure the durability of your splitting wedge, follow these instructions: 1. The splitting wedge is designed exclusively for wood splitting up to the max. diameter specified on your RCA machine. Dmax Dmax 2. The log in the splitting chute must always be longitudinally directed towards the splitting wedge. This prevents unnecessary overloads and downtime. -
Page 16: Machine Cover With Safety Switch
4. Ensure that the splitting chute and splitting wedge are never obstructed. Always remove any wedged pieces of wood. 5. Adjust the height of the splitting wedge to be slightly less than the mechanism permits. This allows the splitting wedge to still “breathe” during the splitting so as not to burden the mechanism and the lower blades of the wedge. -

STOP 4.4.4. “START-STOP” SWITCH (RCA 380 E) Electrical system of the wood processor RCA 380 E includes, besides the main switch, also the “Start-Stop” switch (S-Figure: 1). The “Start-Stop” switch is used to turn ON/OFF the electric driving motor, which powers the cutting chain and whole hydraulic system. -
