6.10 Process Logs into Firewood
IMPORTANT! Once every hour of operation, remove all
wood chips and saw dust that are on the machine and on
the ground below the machine. Wood chips and saw dust
that accumulate on and below the machine may damage the
machine during continuous operation.
The following procedure describes how to efficiently process
logs into firewood:
1. Set up the machine.
For instructions, see Set Up the Machine on page 35.
2. Use the winch to pull a log into position at the log-length
guide.
For instructions, see the following:
- Winch Operation on page 42.
- Position the First Log on page 45.
- Position the Next Log on page 47.
- Position the Last Log on page 47.
3. Use the chain saw to cut the log. Let the cut section fall into
the splitter.
For instructions, see Cut a Log on page 48.
4. Split the cut log.
For instructions, see Split a Log on page 48.
5. While the push block automatically returns to the retracted
position, repeat step 2.
6. When the push block is in the retracted position, repeat
steps 3 through 5.
Continue this process until you produce the desired amount
of firewood.
