24Palax C750 Translation 1-2018 If the cutting sound is loud and cracking, the saw-chain is proceeding too fast and thesawdust grooves are getting clogged. Check the rotational speed, proceeding speed ofthe crosscut blade and sharpness of the blade. If the tree gets stuck in the blade as a result of faulty cutting, stop the machineimmediately For the electric motor-powered machine, use the emergency stop switch,and for the tractor-powered machine, use the clutch. Also disengage the power take-off shaft. Before continuing the operation, inspect the stuck saw-blade for any cracks at the rootsof the teeth.WARNING! A faulty saw-blade must not be used for cutting.7.3 Cutting of small trees without splitting It is also possible to cut small logs quickly by first removing the wedge. The piece offirewood then goes straight onto the conveyor without splitting.7.4 Disturbances during the splitting operation and their remedyA stuck log As the logs are big and have big branches, the cylinder force may not be sufficient. If the log sticks to the wedge, reverse the cylinder using the manual control. Lift up the splitting wedge slightly and retry the splitting by manual operation. Changingthe position of the log helps in many cases. If the log will not split, open the cover and knock the stuck log loose using another log. If there is a big branch on the log, turn the log around so you are able to split thebranch by pushing the log against the wedge with the butt-end first. Doing it this wayrequires the least power.7.5 Re-splitting the logs safely If you want to produce small-size firewood from large logs, even wood split by the 4 or6-way wedge may still be too large in size. Proceeding in the following way will help you to split the wood safely into even smallerpieces.1. Open the cover.2. Place the logs to be split into the splitting chute. E.g. one on top of the other. Thepieces of wood will stay in this position, if you hit them carefully against the wedge.3. Close the cover and start the splitting using the lever for manual control.8 Accessories for the firewood processor8.1 Splitting cylinder The machine can be equipped with a splitting cylinder of either 4 tons or 6 tons.8.2 Automatic high-speed valve The PALAX C750 model is equipped with automatic high-speed valve as standard. The valve reduces the splitting speed only when the pressure exceeds 120 bar. As the tree starts splitting and the pressure decreases, the high-speed movement isimmediately resumed.
