13. Safe transport Before the machine is moved, the feeder conveyor and transporter (both in an up-right position as outlined in the illustration) are to be strapped to secure that they do not fall down. The loading strap has a fixing point at the lower part of the feeding conveyor and secures the conveyor belt from falling off during transport.
Transport and handling before use The VM420 body is equipped with a fork pocket (A) for handling with fork truck or pallet forks. Be aware that one individual wood machine weighs about 875 kg. Use lifting equipment designed for such total weight! Preparation for moving with tractor.
Too short telescope length of the shaft entails a risk of overload of the tractor’s power take-off and the gearbox of the VM420. Please lubricate the PTO drive shaft before use.

1. Setting of cutting length The cutting length is set by releasing the screws at letter A and adjusting the rest B at desired cutting length. 2a. Setting of splitting length from 60 to 40cm The adjustment of the splitting length from 60 to 40cm consists of three elements: 1.
Practical use 1 Condition The machine may not be used before the operator has done the following: • Has read the instruction manual and knows how the machine works and how to operate • Has made himself acquainted with and observed the information regarding safety described on pages 8 to 12 in the instruction manual.

1 Cutting The lever for operating cutting and operation of the feeding conveyor forwards and backwards (E) has several functions: The saw chain is hydraulically operated and starts when the lever is moved towards (D). The lever also releases the splitting function when it is moved towards (B) as illustrated. Thin wood material that is not to be split When cutting thin wood materials, you may cut several continuous lengths and let them fall into the splitting cradle without activating the splitting piston.
Blunt chains and skewly sharpened chains entail great wear on the saw chain sword and risk of extra costs and complications. In order to avoid this, Duun VM420 is designed so that the saw chain always must be dismantled from the machine for any sharpening or replacement.

Chain tensioning and adjustment of the chain lubrication 1 Chain tensioning Use gloves during work with the chain! The chain is tensioned by releasing the two nuts (B). Then screw (A) is tightened to tension the chain proper. Afterwards, the nuts (B) are tightened. If you prefer to replace the chain, this is done by releasing the screw A (first release the screws B) as far so at to allow the chain to be removed in the back for maintenance or replacement.
Maintenance and adjustment of the mechanism The mechanism G is available via the cover as illustrated. Access to the impulse sender fro return of the splitter piston is in the opening to the right. The impulse for activation of the splitter blow comes via the small hydraulic cylinder in A. Impulse for return of stop of the splitter piston comes via bar H and the stoppers E.
Lubrication points and maintenance VM420 has many bearing points, of which many are only subjected to easy loads and are therefore equipped with pre-lubricated ball-bearings. The other bearings are mainly flange bearings that require moderate lubrication. The main rule here is to avoid excessive lubrication and forcing of the oil seals in the bearings.
