Operation
Proper Operation of the Firewood Processor
1.
Preset the cut off length using the measuring bar, loosen the 2 wing nuts and slide the bar to the correct
position, re-tighten the wing nuts.
2.
Load a log onto the log cradle and slide into processor until the end of the log touches the measuring bar.
3.
Open the ball valve to start the flow of bar oil.
4.
Pull the Saw Bar Handle down to engage the chain.
5.
Gently pull the Saw Bar handle downwards with the chain running and cut through the wood.
6.
When pulling the saw bar down and the saw is getting close to cutting through the log you will notice tension
on the bar as the cable to engage the ram starts to be activated, keep drawing the saw blade down until cut
is complete.
7.
The cut piece will drop into the splitter area, raise Saw Bar Handle and ram will engage.
8.
Once the log has been pushed through the splitter, the ram will automatically retract.
9.
Repeat steps above, when a stub piece needs to be cut, make sure to cut the short piece off so that the
longer piece is on log deck, this keeps hands away from moving chain.
10.
Serious accidents may happen when other people are allowed inside the work zone.
11.
It is recommended to have a minimum 7 metre (20 ft) radius safe work zone.
12.
Keep all non-essential people out of the work zone while operating processor.
13.
Make sure hands are clear of crush hazard zones.
14.
Clear the split wood from the work zone.
