4.2 LOG FEEDING
The in-feed conveyor must be placed in a horizontal working position before operation of the machine:
•
Pull out the safety pin (10-Figure:6)
•
Remove the support limiter (12-Figure:6)
•
Lower the in-feed conveyor (A-Figure:6) in horizontal position and support it using the supporting leg
(11-Figure:6)
•
Set the supporting leg so that the upper rod on the conveyor belt in the middle of the feed conveyor is
slightly elevated above the table (already factory set)..
Activate the feeding by pushing the sawbar activation handle (H-Figure: 1) from the upper position (neutral
position) forward - away from yourself; you can stop it at any time (when the log reaches length limiter), by
returning the handle to the neutral position.
In case you don’t stop the feeding after the log reaches the length limiter, you can damage the in-feed
conveyor belt.
The in-feed conveyor can be additionally operated with the handle for setting its rotating direction (D-Figure-
1). Using this handle, the conveyor belt can be activated in either direction.
Therefore, it is mandatory to wear hearing protectors while operating the machine.
Driving at
unsuitable
speeds for the
road conditi-
ons can cause
damages to
the machine
or the tractor.
