3.2.5.
Splitting blade adjustment
The machine’s splitting blade is controlled hydraulically with joystick E (Figure 10) (
forwards => blade is
lowered, backwards => blade is raised
). Logs should always be as centred as possible when passing the blade
in order to keep the size of the firewood consistent.
The blade can be lowered to the lowest position in one go by raising the blade to the upper position and
clearing the space under the blade. The machine must be shut down and disconnected from its power source
for the duration of the cleaning.
3.2.6.
Using a sawdust removal device
A hydraulic dust collector is available as an accessory for the splitter. It allows you to collect sawdust for other
purposes. The sawdust removal device is on when the control valve is open, as in Figure 19b.

Operating the machine
4.1.
Performing a test run on the machine
The machine may not be used before a test run has been performed and all the functions of the machine have
been tested. Both the test run and testing can only be performed by a person who has studied the machine’s
manual.
Before the test run, all of the components of the firewood processor must be checked. If any faults or wear
and tear that may affect the safe use of the machine are discovered, the processor must not be used until the
faulty or worn component is replaced and safe use can be ensured.
1.
Check that the guard for the firewood processor's cutting and splitting section is down.
2.
Check that the in-feed and out-feed conveyors are in the operating position.
3.
Ensure that the splitting groove is empty.

Make sure that you are familiar with the functions of the machine's controls. If necessary, see Section
3.2.
