4.3.2.

If the cutting blade becomes 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 and the bar 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. On the other hand, sawing with an evenly dull chain is inefficient, and the

saw chain must be sharpened or replaced (see Section 5.1.1).

4.3.3.

The 55 Pro is equipped with guide plates to

ensure that the cut pieces of wood are always

lowered to the bottom of the splitting groove

in the right position. First, the cut piece of

wood is lowered on top of the plates, as shown

in Figure 24, which then lowers the piece to the

bottom of the splitting groove (Figure 25) in a

controlled manner.

The need for the guide plates depends on the

thickness and length of the piece of wood that

is being split. A longer and thinner piece of

wood is easier to lower to the splitting groove

in the right position than a shorter and thicker

piece.

The operator can choose whether to use the

guide plates or not. They can also be used

manually for controlling the fall of the final log,

for example.

When the guide plates are in automatic mode

(controller H in Figure 9 is in the front position),

they immediately rise up when the saw bar

starts to cut wood. Once the log has been cut

and the piece has fallen on the plates, release

the sawing button, which raises the bar and

lowers the guide plates automatically to the

lower position.

When the plates are not in use (controller H in

Figure 9 is in the middle position), they remain

in the lower position, as shown in Figure 25.

In manual mode, the operator can manually

raise/lower the plates with controller H (Figure

9).
