FAILURES AND REMEDIAL MEASURES Cause-effect table for failures and their removal Remedial measure Failure Cause The splitting force is The relief valve of the splitting Clean and open the relief valve slightly by insufficient for splitting and cutting valve has been tightening the hex socket screw.
6.1 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.
