15.2 Processing logs

15.2-1. Test the log splitter according to the instructions in Chapter 14.
15.2-2. Place the middle section of the splitting blade into the middle of the log, and
specify the log length according to the instructions in Chapter 13.
15.2-3. Increase the speed to up to 500 RPM.
15.4-4. Select the logs that you want to process. Note that the diameter of the cutter
opening is 42 cm (16.5 in.). Branches and the shape of the log may increase the log
diameter.
WARNING! Logs must be fed into the log splitter so that it does not put the
operator or machine at risk.
15.2-5 Turn the input conveyor control lever into the position where it feeds logs to the
cutter (Chapter 5-c3). Once the log reaches the measuring device, stop the feeding. The
log is now ready to be cut. If your log splitter is equipped with an optical measuring
device, the input conveyor stops automatically.
WARNING! When feeding logs to the cutter on the input conveyor, make sure that
the logs remain firmly on the conveyor. Adjust the conveyor speed to a safe level.
When logs are fed to the cutter, the operator must stand next to the control console,
never near the conveyor!
WARNING! When there are logs on the input conveyor, avoid getting your hands or
other parts of your body caught between the wood and the parts of the log splitter.
WARNING! If a log hits the edge of the cutter opening or some part of the log
splitter and stops moving, you must stop the conveyor and turn the conveyor control
lever into the position where it brings the log back (Chapter 5.c1).
WARNING! If you need to remove a log from the input conveyor, make sure that it
does not put the operator or machine at risk.
15.2-6. When the log stops for cutting, return the control lever to its initial position
(Chapter 5-C0).
WARNING! Before cutting the log, check that its shape or branches are suitable for
cutting and that no danger or damage will ensue.
NOTE!The saw must be on (the blade must rotate) before it is pressed against the log.
