4.3.2.
Jamming of the cutting blade
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.
Guide plates for falling wood pieces
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).
