Placing logs on the log holder
We recommend the use of auxiliary devices, such as the HakkiFeed 422 log holder. If a log holder is not
attached to the splitter, the maximum allowed log length is 4.5 m. Puun nosto ja asettaminen syöttöpöydälle
on tehtävä turvallisesti ja käyttäjää vaarantamatta.
Note! Placing logs directly on the input table with a loader is strictly prohibited.
Note! Make sure that the log's centre of gravity stays on the conveyor.
4.3.
Feeding and sawing wood
The input conveyor feeds the wood to be processed into the splitter. Push the joystick F in Figure 10 of
Section 3.2 to the upper right direction to feed wood into the machine. The feed can be cancelled by pushing
the joystick to the upper left direction.
When feeding the log to machine, make sure that it does not present a risk of your clothes, hands or other
parts getting caught in the machine, for example due to the shape of the log. Do not use your hand to guide
the log into the cutting section. Adjust the wood measuring device to the desired length and make sure that
the speed of the output conveyor belt is suitable by adjusting it.
1.
Choose the log to process. Note that the maximum log diameter is 38 cm. The knottiness and shape
of the log increase the diameter.
2.
Feed the logs for cutting with the input conveyor with the joystick F. Push the joystick in the upper
right direction to activate the feeding function.
3.
Once the log stops for cutting in the mechanical measuring device, lock the log in place with the
wood press by pressing the handle D of the press (please see Figure 10) downward.
4.
Cut the log by pressing the push button A (Figure 11) of the joystick, which activates the blade chain,
and by lowering the cutting flange by moving the joystick F (Figure 11) backwards.
5.
Return the cutting flange to the raised position by pushing the joystick F forwards, which
automatically starts the splitting function.
Note! The splitting motion can be prevented by pressing the button B (Figure 10). This prevents the
splitting motion from starting in any situation. The splitting motion can be re-activated by pressing the
button B again.
4.3.1.
Jamming of the cutting blade
Make sure that the downward motion of the cutting flange has not been adjusted (pressure regulating valve
C in Figure 10 of Section 3.2) to be too fast in proportion to the size of the log.
If the cutting blade gets jammed in the log, stop sawing and try again from another section of the log. If the
cut is misaligned because the flange drags to one side, the sharpness of the blade chain must be checked. A
chain that is not evenly sharp will always drag to the duller side, which makes cutting a thick log impossible.
On the other hand, sawing with an evenly dull chain is inefficient, and the blade chain must be sharpened or
replaced (see Section 5.1.1).
4.3.2.
Sawing the last log
When sawing wood, the second to last piece should be sawed in such a way that the remaining piece is of a
sufficient length. This ensures that the log will stay firmly under the wood press and that the sawing will be
steady and safe. Drive the last log directly into the splitting section, and start the splitting process with the
control lever F.
