1 GENERAL Dear Customer, By purchasing our firewood processor you obtained the equipment which will provide you with great help in your work. To make operating the machine as safe and pleasant as possible, please carefully read this operating instructions and follow the safety and maintenance directives. We would like to thank you for your trust and wish you great satisfaction in your work.
1.2 APPLICATION Firewood processor (RCA 380, RCA 380 E) is a machine used for preparation of firewood. The processor can handle logs from 10 to 38 cm (4 – 15”) in diameter, which can be cut to 25-50 cm (10” – 20”) length and thereafter split. 1.

2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • Machine operation and maintenance is allowed to qualified persons older then 18 years of age, only! • Before starting the work, the machine must be placed in a stable position,! • Use only P.T.O. shafts of appropriate strength (min.
RCA 380 E : Connect the RCA 380 E to the thee-phase electric power source: • Nominal voltage: 400 V / 50 Hz • Minimum Power Cable Size: 4 mm² • Plug: 32A-CCE 3P+N+E 400V • Nominal Current of the Main Fuses: 32 A • Connection Power: 21,2 kW I Warning! Before completing the connection of the machine it is necessary to check the rotating direction of the cutting chain and/or electric motor. Wrong rotating direction can cause damages to the oil pump.
3.1.1 RETRACTION OF THE DISCHARGE CONVEYOR Discharge conveyor is usually telescopically retracted in the machine transport position. By activating the machine, telescopic cylinder of the discharge conveyor automatically activates and fully extends the machine, so the belt is tensioned. Before starting the machine, make sure to loosen the conveyor belt, by moving the Discharge Conveyor from vertical to horizontal position using the hand winch (3-Figure:3).
3.3 STARTING UP: Before each machine startup, it is necessary to check the chain tension and readjust it if necessary! A too loose chain can induce vibrations, which unfavorably affect the drive belt’s operation. Increased vibrations can also cause damages to the drive belt. A new cutting chain needs to be retensioned after approx. half an hour of use. Please check.
3.4 TRANSPORT POSITION OF THE MACHINE The maximum allowable speed of the tractor when transporting the machine on the rut or offroad is 10 km/h (12 mph) and 40 km/h (25 mph), when the tractor is driven on the asphalt roads! 5a 5b Driving at unsuitable speeds for the road conditions can cause damages to the machine or the tractor. 4 OPERATING THE FIREWOOD PROCESSOR The machine must be operated by one person only. Please ensure that there is nobody else in the near vicinity of the machine working area.

4.3 SAWING The barsaw is always operating. The sawbar movement is performed using the sawbar activation handle (H-Figure: 7), during which the sawed log must be held using the retaining handle (P- Figure: 7). When the sawing begins, the trapdoor (13-Figure:8) moves away automatically, so the log can fall freely into a splitting chute after the cut. Adjust the sawbar moving speed according to the hardness of the wood. Finish the cut (app.
9 C S B B 4.4.1 ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE SPLITTING WEDGE 10 L By using a splitting wedge handle (L-Figure: 10), the splitting wedge can be gradually lifted or lowered depending on the diameter of the logs - so the logs are split in center. Splitting wedge adjustment can be performed most easily when the splitting chute is empty or at the point when the splitting cylinder start to move.
11 B STOP 4.4.3 “START-STOP” SWITCH (RCA 380 E) Electrical system of the wood processor RCA 380 E includes, besides the main switch, also the “Start-Stop” switch (S-Figure: 1). The “Start-Stop” switch is used to turn ON/OFF the electric driving motor, which powers the cutting chain and whole hydraulic system. Using the red button of the “Start-Stop” switch you can completely stop the operation of the machine.
5 MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR Regular machine maintenance ensures reliable operation and long lifetime of the machine 5.1 CUTTING CHAIN REPLACEMENT Before replacing the chain, you must disconnect the machine drive (RCA 380) or unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet (RCA 380 E)! Disconnect the P.T.O. shaft or unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Turn the handle (28-Figure:13) 90 degrees on the sawbar activation handle.
5.2 CUTTING CHAIN TENSIONING • • • Loosen both nuts (34-Figure: 15) on the fixing plate (35-Figure: 15) Tighten the tensioning screw (33-Figure: 15) until the chain in tensioned correctly* Tighten both nuts (34-Figure: 15) on the fixing plate (35-Figure: 15) *The cutting chain is tensioned correctly when it clings to the lower side of the sawbar when cold and can be still lifted on the upper side of the sawbar (approximately in the middle), three or four times the height of the driving teeth.
