NOTES RELATED TO THE OPERATION OF THE MACHINE
Always check the amount of hydraulic oil from the dip rod before starting the engine. Lubrication of saw chain
consumes hydraulic oil. Check that the saw chain of the saw is sufficiently lubricated. The amount of saw
chain lubrication oil must be adjusted if the oil
is cold or warm. In cold weather (below 0˚C) it is advisable to
“run the engine idle” for about 5 10 min before starting to saw. In idle run the saw engine is running and the
hydraulic oil circulates in the engine and becomes more flexible. If sawing is started immediately after start
up, the thermal relay of the engine may go off. The thermal relay recovers automatically in about 2 minutes
and then the engine may be started again.
The machine guards and protections are there for the safety of the operator. Make sure the all the guards are
in their respective positions and in order. The machine is not to be operated if any of the safety guards have
been removed, or if they are not in order. Take extreme care when coupling the machine on or off the power
source. Always, when commencing any service or repair work, stop the machine, turn off the motor, and in
case of electric motor drive, pull out the plug from the socket. When leaving the machine, stop it. Always take
special care when working with the firewood machine. Do not allow other people to approach the running
machine (i.e. one man operated machine). When the machine is running, be especially aware of the rotating
blade and moving splitter.
With electric motor driven machine it must be ensured that the direction of the engine (chainsaw) rotation is
correct.
If a piece of wood is stuck in the processor or conveyor, stop the machine at once. Before commencing the
removal of the wood waste and sawdust, stop the machine, turn off the motor, and in case of electric motor
drive, pull out the plug from the socket. Clean the machine only after it has stopped completely.
Keep the machine emergency stop system on stand-by and clean. Do not cut timber in a bunch. Cut only one
trunk at a time. Do not saw timber with nails in it. Take special care when cutting twisted or long branched
trees. Ensure that the timber is pressed tight against the cutting table and that it is well supported before
commencing sawing. Make sure that the timber cannot wedge itself against the blade. Do not attempt to cut
too long trunks. A too long piece of timber will press against the blade. The max diameter of a trunk to be cut
is 300 mm and the minimum 20 mm.
Be aware of your back, move the timber from side, do not pull the trunk by the blade end. Remember the
right grip. Remove the chopped wood from the vicinity of the machine before it starts piling up against it.
Service the machine in due course.
Cover the chainsaw when not in use. Be aware of sharp chainsaw. When opening the sawing guard, stop the
machine, turn off the motor, and in case of electric motor drive, pull out the plug from the socket. The splitting
zone is safeguarded with an opening guard. When the guard is opened, the splitting action taking place is
carried out to completion. Do not open the guard until the pusher has completely stopped. The pusher may
move when starting the machine and therefore the guard must be closed prior to start. When the splitting
zone guard is opened, the operating lever is mechanically locked up to the upper position keeping the
sawchain from rotating and preventing the usage of the cutting and splitting functions. Cutting and splitting
functions do not work until the splitting zone guard is closed.
Oils and greases can contain additives which in some cases can be harmful when there has been a repeated
skin contact. Follow the appropriate safety instructions when handling these substances.
-
Always wear protective clothing, use appropriate hand cream or oil resistant gloves when handling
oils and greases.
-
Spreading of oil mist to the working site or oil spill will cause a slipping danger.
-
Avoid skin contact with oils and greases.
-
Never use oil or grease for cleaning the hands.
-
Change oily clothes as soon as possible.
-
No oily rags etc. in the pockets.
-
Waste oil must be collected and when discarding of it, the appropriate rules and regulations must be
followed.
Never touch the rotating parts.
Test the functions of all the safety equipment and emergency stops.
