 Prevent risks, such as slipping in winter, by organising the work sit–e in a due
manner.
 Only operate the machine in an adequately lit space.
 It is recommended that a suitable stand be purchased or made that enables the
trees to be processed where the logs are ready at the level of the in-feed deck.
Hence, unnecessary lifting may be avoided and the work can proceed much faster.
 The suitable temperature range for operation is approximately -20 to +30 degrees
Centigrade.When starting the machine in severe frost, first allow it to idle at low
speed for about 5 to 10 minutes. This way, the oil warms up and flows better, so
risk of damage to the seals is reduced.
 No restrictions concerning the weather apply.
 Make sure that no other people, especially children, are present inside the
operating range.
 Never use the machine indoors – risk of dust generation. Use of the combustion
engine-powered machine may involve danger of exhaust gases.

3 DRIVING POWER
The Palax C700 Combi firewood processor may be driven by a tractor, an electric
motor or a combustion engine.
3.1 Powered by a tractor
 Always connect the machine to the tractor’s three-point linkage and ensure that the
space reserved for the PTO-shaft and its guard is sufficient.
 A suitable size for power take-off drive shaft is, for example, a BONDIOLI 143 or
WALTERSCHEID W 2100.
 No safety clutch is required for the PTO-shaft.
 Only use fault-free PTO-shafts and always attach the chains for the shaft-guard to
the machine.
NOTE! When you disconnect the PTO-shaft from the tractor, hang it in the
hook on the machine.
 The machine comes with towing pins of 28 mm.
 If the power take-off of the tractor has a high-speed range, then it should be used,
because the horsepower requirement of the circular saw is small.
 Make sure that the speed of the power take-off shaft does not exceed 450 r.p.m.
3.2 Revolutions range of the PTO-shaft
 The suitable revolutions range is 400-450 r.p.m.
3.3 Stop switch of the tractor-
powered machine (Figure 7)
 The tractor-powered machine is equipped
with a special emergency stop device to
immediately disengage the transmission
between the angular gear and the saw-blade
shaft.
 In case of emergency, pull the lever A.
 When lever A is pulled, tightening wheel B
swings down and the V-belts slacken (Figure
8). Disengagement lever A locks up and the
belts remain slack.

3.4 Automatic tightening of the V-
belts (Figure 8)
As the switch is released, the tightening wheel,
affected by spring C, presses the V-belts on the
slack side and the V-belts of the angular gear
and the blade shaft automatically remain at
correct tightness.

3.5 Required measures in an emergency situation
If the clutch has been used in an emergency situation, e.g. when a log has stuck in the
circular saw-blade as a result of a mistake during the sawing, then immediately
disconnect the power take-off transmission of the tractor as well, because the pulley of
the angular gear can wear down the V-belts unnecessarily.
NOTE! When the clutch is reset to the operating position, the power take-
off drive shaft must be disconnected from the tractor.
Only use the clutch in an emergency situation!
3.6 Selecting the operating mode: powered by tractor or electricity
(Figures 9 and 10)
 The machine is equipped with a system to prevent simultaneous operation in two
modes.
 When the cover plate is shifted to the left (Figure 9), it is possible to connect the
extension cable, and when it is shifted to the right (Figure 10), it is possible to
connect the power take-off shaft.

3.7 Electric drive, start and emergency stop
 The power output of the motor is 7,5 kW at a speed of 1450 r.p.m.
 The machine is equipped with an automatic Y-D starter with an emergency stop
feature.
 All electric installations must be completed.
 In the 380 V-system the fuse size is 16 A slow.
 The cross-section of the required extension cord is 2,5 mm2.
 Before starting up the machine, check that it rotates in the direction shown by the
arrow at the end of the motor.
 Check the direction of rotation by allowing the motor to run for a short while and,
after that, stopping it immediately.
NOTE! Only skilful professionals are allowed to carry out the electric work
that changing the direction of rotation requires.
Make sure that the extension cord, that you use, is equipped with a switch that
enables changing the direction of rotation of the motor using a screwdriver.
3.8 Starting
 Press the start button. In the Y-position the motor starts rotating at slow speed with
low output. The start phase takes several tens of seconds.
 As the engine speed increases, the D-position is switched on and the motor quickly
reaches full speed. As the position D is switched on, the signal light between the
start and stop switches illuminates.
NOTE! The machine must not be operated until the motor has reached full
speed, because in the Y-position the output of the electric motor is very low.
3.9 Emergency stop of an electric-motor-powered machine
 The emergency stop is carried out by depressing the Emergency Stop button,
button B on the starter.
 The button is reset by pulling it up.
3.10Starting the electric motor in frost
 In severe frost, the hydraulic oil and the oil in the angular gear can become so cold
and viscous or the V-belts so rigid that the motor cannot be started.
 If operating the machine under cold conditions, we recommend that less viscous
hydraulic oils be used.
NOTE! A 300 W electric heater carpet with thermostat is available as an option
for the hydraulic oil tank. We recommend using the carpet whenever the
machine is operated under cold conditions. The starter is equipped as standard
with a lever switch for the heater. Keeping the heating switched on for about 1-2
hours is enough to make the oil sufficiently fluent.
