3.5 Splitting device
The JAPA 315 firewood processor is equipped with a hydraulic splitting device. The splitting motion (i.e. the
pusher moving towards the knife) takes place at the same time as the new log is being fed in by running
the in-feed conveyor belt. The pusher returns to its original position during the sawing action. The splitting
device will not work when the guard is open.
In case of problems, see Chapter 6 of the manual. Troubleshooting
A. Use the lever to adjust the splitting
knife to the proper height.
B. The splitting begins when
you push the sawing handle
(simultaneously as a new log is
being fed in), and the pusher
returns to the inner position
when you activate the sawing
action, i.e. pull the sawing
handle.
C. The splitting motion stops
when you release the sawing
handle or open the guard.
Splitting knife
The firewood processor can also be equipped with a knife that splits the log into multiple pieces.
D.
Replacement
(knife in the lower position)
Always use work gloves when replacing the splitting
knife
1. Lower the knife to the bottom position.
2. Remove the pin and stud at the bottom loop of
the knife.
3. Lift the knife out from the top and insert the
replacement.
4. Reinstall the stud and secure it with the pin.
DO NOT SPLIT HARD TIMBER INTO MORE THAN TWO PIECES!
IF THE LOG TWISTS AFTER SAWING, STOP THE SPLITTING, OPEN THE GUARD AND
REALIGN THE LOG WITH THE PUSHER!
DAMAGE TO THE SPLITTING KNIFE CAUSED BY CARELESS SPLITTING IS NOT COVERED
BY THE GUARANTEE!
