1 Machine Description
A very efficient and user friendly log splitter that cuts and splits the
log in one operation. Splits logs up to 530/550mm long and
300/380mm in diameter. Pull the handle of the chain saw lightly
and push the log holding handle, the chain saw starts to cut the log.
After finishing cutting, release the handles, then the handle is
automatically reset. The chain saw stops working, and the splitter
starts automatically. This ensures high safety, lower noise and
longer life of both chain and bar.

5 Installation of machines
5.1 Remove processor and all parts from the steel shipping crate.
5.2 Insert axle through the processor ensuring it is centered and tighten
the bolts to hold it securely in place. Note, it is important to ensure the
two holes are facing up as they are used to hold the wheel fenders in
place.
5.3 Place a liberal amount of grease on the inside of the wheel hubs
and in the bearings. Insert greased bearing, washer and nut over axle
spindle and tighten the nut. The cotter pin can be inserted into the hole
in the end of the axle. Finally, the dust cap can be installed. See below
images.

12
5.4. Install the fenders and attach to the axle using the two bolts as
shown below.
5.5. Match hydraulic line “A” up with fitting “A” on the control valve and
tighten with a wrench.
5.6. Match hydraulic line “B” up with fitting “B” on the control valve and
tighten with a wrench.

13
5.7. Install the hydraulic line to the chainsaw bar as per the images below
and tighten with wrench.
5.8. Fix the buffer spring. This spring is used to aid in returning the
chainsaw bar handle.
5.9. Install the chainsaw bar guard and tighten the 3 bolts in the areas
shown below.

14
5.10. Remove the adhesive backing from the chainsaw bar guard and
position the bar oil tank in place. Tighten nut to securely hold it in place.
Attach the oil line to the spout on the chainsaw bar as shown in below
right image.
5.11. Install the chainsaw bar pull handle using the three bolts shown
below. Also ensure the cable shown in the image on the right is in the
lower hole.

15
5.12. Install the large cage guard and wedge plate as shown below so
that when the large cage guard is opened, the plate will depress the
valve plunger. A smooth transition motion is recommended. There are
slots in both directions allowing positional adjust ability to achieve proper
actuation of valve.
5.13. Install the cage guard in place and tighten the three bolts as shown
below.

16
5.14Install the notched plate on the processor with the two nuts and bolts
provided. This plate is used to lock the handle in place which holds the
2/4 way splitter at the desired height. Turn the handle to left side with
symbol arrow downward, the wedge height will move lower, turn the
handle to right side with arrow upward, the wedge height will move
upper.
5.15. Install the 2/4 way splitter bottom support as shown below. The
handle can also be installed at this point along with the 2/4 way
splitter.

17
5.16. The chain can now be adjusted to ensure the tension is set
correctly. Proper chain tension is achieved when the chain can be
pulled away from the bar by hand 6.4mm--12.7mm. To tighten or loosen
the chain, the two bolts can be loosened using a 13mm wrench. Next,
the hexagon socket bolt can be turned clockwise to tighten or
counter--clockwise to loosen the chain. The two 13mm bolts can be
tightened again to hold the bar securely.
With the firewood processor now assembled, the conveyor system can be
unpacked from the cardboard packaging and laid out, ready to be
assembled and installed to the processor.
5.17. With the galvanized bracket now bolted to the conveyor, lift it in
place so that it can be attached to the processor. A scissor jack or car
jack can be used to aid in lifting the conveyor up into place so the
mounting holes align.

18
5.18. The top half of the conveyor can now be installed to the bottom half
by bolting it at the seam using the hardware shown below. Be sure to
install one of the washers in between the top and bottom conveyor. The
nut should be left loose so that the bolts act as a hinge and allow the
conveyor system to fold in half. Also, be sure that the conveyor is looped
around the top roller.
5.19 The top half can now be latched to the bottom half as shown below.
Once latched in place, one person can begin to lift the conveyor up so
another person can slide the support leg in place and latch the chain.

19
5.20. The conveyor belt can now be tightened by turning the “T”
handle clockwise until the belt is taunt.
5.21. Insert the square blue tongue into the processor and tighten the
two bolts to lock it in place. There is also a hole in the end of the tongue
for a bolt to go through as a secondary security measure.

20
5.22. Attach tongue jack as pictured below. There are two bolts that hold it
securely to the tongue. The leg stand can be used when the processor is in
operation.
