5.3.4. CHECKPOINTS AFTER COMMISSIONING

It is important to pay attention to the possible loose
parts or the temperature of the machine. If you
detect any anomaly in the machine immediately stop
and check it carefully. In case of any malfunction or
problem take the machine for service for repaired.
Under no condition should you continue to use the
machine if the operation does not seem appropriate.

5.3.4.1. VERIFICATION OF THE SECURITY SYSTEM

Verify that the security system

works correctly by doing a
test of the machine without

trunk. To do this, start the motor by pressing the
switch and simultaneously press down the pressure
levers (Fig 4.2.-4) and cut (Fig 4.2.-3) the blade will
begin its cutting movement. When the blade is
moving, release the cutter lever (Fig 4.2.-3) and the
blade should stop instantly. Then squeeze the reverse
lever (Fig 4.2.-5) to raise the blade.
If after the test you detect that the machine does
not work as described in this point, do not use
the machine again until it has been checked by a
technical service.

5.3.4.2. LEAK VERIFICATION

Check that there are no oil leaks in the machine. If you
detect a leak, take your machine in for service.

5.4. AFTER USE

Once you have stopped using the machine:
1.  Disconnect the power source of the machine by
  pressing the switch in position “O”.
2.  Unplug the machine.
3.  When you stop using the machine tighten the
  bleed screw to prevent oil leakage from the

log splitter through the trap.

6. USING THE MACHINE

Use this machine only for the designated

purposes. Using this chainsaw for any other use is
dangerous and can cause bodily harm and/or damage
to the machine.

Never force the log splitter for more than 5 seconds
by pressing on a trunk too hard. After this interval,
oil that is under pressure can overheat and damage
the machine. For logs of extreme hardness, turn the
log 90 degrees to try to cut it in another position. If
still cannot cut the trunk, it means that this exceeds
permissible hardness so trunk should be discarded
and thus prevent damage to the machine.

NOTE: It is strictly forbidden to use the chipper by
two people with one operating the pressure lever (Fig
4.2.-4) and the other operating the cutting lever (Fig
4.2.-3). Locking of the pressure lever (to only have to
operate with the cutter lever) is prohibited as well.

6.1. LOG CUTTING

1. Follow the steps in point 5.3. “Start-up”.

2. Place the log on the work table and hold it firmly
with the claw always using the pressure lever (Fig
4.2.-4). Make sure the log does not twist, dance, or
slip while being cut. If the log is very large, use the
log elevator (Fig 4.2.-11). To use this tool, first release
the retaining hook and then press the cutter lever (Fig
4.2.-3) to lower the blade and thus lower the elevator.
Once it is level with the ground, push the log until it
is held between the two claws and operate the return
lever (Fig 4.2.-5) so that the blade and the log are in
the normal working position.

3. Press the pressure lever (Fig 4.2.-4) until the claw
grips the log and then press the cutting lever (Fig
4.2.-3).
