3. While the motor is running, check that the hydraulic system and the
controls for shutting off are operational.
4. Test that the safety limit switches are operating when the cover is
opened. The saw-bar must not lower nor the splitting mechanism work,
while the cover is open.
Check the supply of lubrication oil to the saw-chain. You may have to adjust
the oil flow to the saw-chain, for example, if the oil is too cold or too warm.
If you observe even a minor malfunction in the operation of the machine, find
out the cause and repair it!
NOTE!
Stop the machine and disengage the power take-off of the
tractor or disconnect the power cord from the socket to locate and repair
a possible fault in the machine!
4.3 Adjusting the log length, Fig. 4.2
The length of the log is adjusted by
shifting the hydraulic log length limiter.
Unscrew the locking bolts B, that keep
the hydraulic valve C in position, and
shift the log-stop to the desired length
position.
4.4 How the safety devices affect the operation of the machine,
Figure 4.4
The machine is equipped with devices that ensure operational safety. The
safety-related devices affect the operation of the cover for the splitting area,
the saw-bar and the pusher.
The protective net for the splitting chute must be closed so as to enable the
cutting and splitting operations.
The protective net cannot be opened, if the saw-bar is not in its upper
position!
When the protective net is opened, the cutting movement of the saw-shaft is
prevented and the pusher returns to its rear position.
Warning !
All the safety-related devices are necessary to ensure a sufficient level of
safety.
Do not remove any of the safety features from the machine. The machine
operator is responsible for the flawless operation of the safety-related
devices.
