Jamming Of The Cutting Blade; Jamming Of The Wood On The Splitting Blade - Hakki Pilke Raven 33 Manual

5.1

JAMMING OF THE CUTTING BLADE

If the cutting blade gets jammed in the log, stop sawing and try again on another section of the log. If the cut is
misaligned because the bar drags to one side, the sharpness of the saw chain must be checked. A chain that is
not evenly sharp will always drag towards the blunter side, which will make cutting a thick log impossible. Moreo-
ver, sawing with an evenly dull chain is inefficient, and the chain must be sharpened or replaced (see Section 4.6).
5.2

JAMMING OF THE WOOD ON THE SPLITTING BLADE

If a piece of wood gets jammed on the splitting blade in a situation where the splitting force is insufficient to push
the piece past the blade despite several attempts to do so, do the following:
Return the splitting cylinder to the initial position with lever C (Figure 15).
Ensure that the log to be split does not exceed the maximum allowable dimensions.
Lift the splitting blade to the highest possible position with lever D (Figure 15) and activate the splitting.
If necessary, cut a sufficiently thick piece of wood (approx. 10 cm), place it into the splitting groove behind the
jammed piece, and activate the splitting process. The new piece will then push the bottom part of the jammed
piece past the blade. Lower the blade by approx. 5 cm and repeat step 3. Repeat step 4 until the jammed wood
has passed the blade, piece by piece.
