Operation
In the initial position,
the valve joint lever is
in its centre position.
When the cut wood hits the
sensor in the splitting chute,
the other end of the release
lever lifts up, and the joint
lever that controls the valve
is pushed to the right, thrust
by the spring.
The
splitting
movement
starts as the joint lever
moves to the right.
As the splitting cylinder/beam approaches the splitting
blade, the turning rod attached to the splitting beam will
swing the turning lever to its extreme right position.
Thus the valve joint lever goes to its extreme left
position, thrust by the spring.

When the joint lever moves
to its extreme left position,
the splitting beam will
reverse. As the splitting
beam arrives at its initial
position, the turning rod
will swing the turning lever
to its extreme left position.
The splitting release lever
returns to its down
position during the
splitting movement.
With the turning lever in
its left position, the spring
pushes the joint lever to
the right.
However, the joint lever
stops against the splitting
release lever, which has
dropped down, and the
joint lever stays in its
centre position.
