2.2. ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR THE RCA
MACHINE
The manufacturer,Tajfun Planina d.o.o., provides the declaration of conformity and risk estimation
only for the machines operated by a single person that has sufficient overview over the entire
surrounding area, and applies to the machine’s entire operating area.
Personal protective equipment and protective parts, which must always be used when operating
the machine, are included in the scope of delivery.
• Never reach within the chain saw or splitting cylinder working area during the machine’s
operation. Never remove cut pieces and other wood residues from the sawing and
splitting area during the machine’s operation.
• For outdoor use only. When operating the machine indoors it is necessary to install a
suction device on the machine, which is supplied as part of the accessories.
• Ensure regular machine maintenance and cleaning. Regularly remove the sawdust and
wood residues.
• The operating pressure of the hydraulic system must not exceed 230 bars.

2.3. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CONVEYOR
• Observe the working area of the machine located in the near vicinity of the moving parts,
as well as under the entire construction along the conveyor belt, and not only on the
discharge conveyor.
• The transported material can fall off the conveyor in this area.
• Never reach inside the chute and never touch the conveyor belt during the machine’s
operation.
• Shut down the machine prior to removing any wedged parts of wood.
2.4. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ROPE PULLEYS
• Prevent the pulling of the wire rope over the sharp edges!
• Never hold the wire rope during winding and unwinding!
2.5. NOISE
During the machine’s operation the operator is exposed to the following noise levels (measured
near the operator's ear):
Idling: 85 dB (A)
Operation: 92 dB (A)
The total noise level depends on the noise generated by the power machines (tractor, diesel
unit).
Therefore, it is mandatory to wear hearing protectors while operating the machine.

2.6. OTHER DANGERS
Provided that all safety measures are followed and the machine is being used in accordance with
the operating instructions other risks still persist:
• Contact with the machine’s moving parts;
• injuries due to the flying particles of wood;
• burns due to contact with hot machine parts (multiplication gear);
• hearing impairment in case of hearing protector’s improper use or lack of use;
• human errors (overstraining, mental stress, etc.).
2.7. APPLICATION
The firewood processor RCA 330 JOY is a machine for preparing firewood. It is intended exclusively
for the cutting of logs with a diameter of 5 to 33 cm and splitting with a splitting force up to 110
kN per several logs, with adjustable length of logs (from 20 to 40 cm).
The machine is intended for outdoor use only.
2.8. IMPROPER USE OF THE MACHINE
Any use of the machine, which does not comply with the use described under the previous
section, is considered to be improper and is prohibited.

3.1. DESCRIPTION
The firewood processor RCA 330 JOY is used for preparing firewood.
The operation process includes the following stages:
1. Loading logs on the log deck (optional), which allows the feeding of the logs transversally
and longitudinally, as well as synchronously with the in-feed conveyor.
2. Transporting logs with maximum diameter (5 to 33 cm or 2” to 13”) with the in-feeder
conveyor to the adjustable limiter, which can be used to set the cutting length (20 to 40 cm
or 7,9”to 15,75”).
3. Sawing with the chainsaw according to the set cutting length.
4. Splitting. The use of suitable splitting wedge allows adjusting the log size (cross-section)
5. Transporting logs with the adjustable conveyor (adjustable height).
The quality of the logs, as well as the machine capacity, diminishes when using pre-split wood.
