3. General information
Dear customer,
thank you very much for your trust and preference in buying this chainsaw processor! You have now joined the
BGU worldwide family. We are confident that our equipment will be up to all your expectations and assure
you a long lasting quality and performance.
Our chainsaw firewood processor is available in the following two versions:
KSA 380 Z - PTO powered
KSA 380 E - E-motor powered
3.1 Delivery and transport claims
Upon receiving the processor at your place, please check for visual machine damages such as damaged
packing or scratched buckled parts. If so, make a remark on all copies of the delivery bill before signing for
acceptance.
Also have the truck driver sign all copies of the delivery bill. Should your shipper or the truck driver refuse
to accept your claim, fully reject delivery of the machine and make sure to inform us (the manufacturer) im-
mediately. No claims will be taken into account by the shipper or by the insurance company, if a reservation
note is not made on the delivery bill.
All transport damages must be notified within latest 2 days from delivery. Therefore, delivery must be collected
and inspected within this term. Later claims shall be disregarded. In case of assumed but not visually
clear transport damages make sure to mark the following sentence on the delivery bill: „Reserved delivery
due to assumed transportation damages.“
Insurance and shipping companies act with extreme caution in case of transport damages and sometimes
refuse to accept responsibility.
Please make sure to provide clear and exhaustive evidence (photos) of the claimed damages.
Thank you in advance for your help and attention to this matter.

4. Safety
Strictly perform installation, set-up, maintenance, cleaning and transportation with the
motor switched off and all moving parts firmly secured against accidental operation.
The user shall strictly comply with these operation, set-up, mainte-nance, repair and trouble-shooting in-
structions in order to assure safe operation and no damages to the equipment. The owner must understand
these instructions and must allow only persons who understand these instructions to operate the processor.
Moreover we recommend to let the machine be run only and strictly by trained and skilled staff who must be
familiar with the applicable occupational safety and health administration rules as well as applicable trans-
portation rules. Incorrect use of the splitter can cause serious injury or death.
No person under 18 years should operate this log processor. The machine shall be installed and kept in a
suitable location selected by the customer for safest operation. Make sure that the equipment stands on a
safe stable foundation. The working area around the machine must be kept as clear as possible from sur-
rounding obstacles and slippery foundation floors should be duly treated (do not use saw dust or wood ash
for this purpose).
4.1 General safety rules
- Never reach with your hands inside the dangerous chainsaw and push-block area while they are
moving!
- NEVER leave the machine unattended with the running motor.
- Before leaving the operator‘s station for any reason, stop the machine motor or the tractor engine,
disconnect power (or PTO drive), make sure to remove the ignition key of the tractor and secure the
machine against accidental operation
- The operator is responsible for the safety of other thirds on the workplace.
- Set up the machine on a firm surface which is free from stumps, boulders and other obstructions.
- Work with your processor only in daylight or good artificial light.
- Ensure that a wide but confined area is available around the machine and assure maximum working
freedom.
- A skilled licensed electrician must be asked for any repair of the electric system.
- ne and assure maximum working freedom.
- Operator‘s hearing protection, safety glasses, safety shoes and gloves, close fitting cloths and other
adequate protection means are mandatory.
- Keep all shields and safety devices in place. If a shield, safety device or decal is defective or damaged,
repair or replace it before operating the processor.
- No additional customised protections or tools are provided on board of the machine, other than the
ones designed and supplied by the manufacturer.
- Make sure to process only logs and timber that are free from foreign inclusions such as nails, screws or
other hard material.
- Only use original BGU spare parts!

4.2 Mandatory application field
Chainsaw fi rewood processors are one-man operation machines only. Never allow more than one
person approach and work on the machine at the same time.
This machine is conceived for cutting and splitting logs for firewood preparation only. Any other use or
splitting method is considered by the manufacturer as “misuse”. In case of misuse the manufacturer
will not be liable for any injuries or damages and the operator will be held entirely responsible.
Please make sure to comply with these set-up, operation and maintenance/repair instructions in order
to avoid happening of any injury or dangerous condition.
IMPORTANT: this unit has a log capacity of min 20 mm and max 370 mm diameter.
DO NOT PROCESS FIREWOOD OUTSIDE THIS RANGE.
Misuse will completely void your warranty. The manufacturer accepts no liability for personal
injuries and damages to other equipment caused by misusing the machine.

5. Operation
Locate your processor only on firm, level ground. Site must be free of
slippery surfaces and tripping obstacles.
Danger!
NEVER operate your chainsaw fi rewood processor on slippery, wet,
muddy, or icy surfaces. The location you choose should be flat, dry, and
free from any interference.
Secure the conveyor stand against possible slipping by means of the
special limit chain located at the base of the conveyor.
Now swing down the infeed conveyor on the right hand side of the ma-
chine and let the stay rod underneath it snap into the special holder on
the chassis (see figure 1).
Close the protection grid over the log splitter section and make sure that
all safeties and protections are well in place and properly working.
Load timber on the infeed belt (Figure 2). Feed the timber all the way
against the special length-gauge (stop plate) located on the other side
of the chainsaw. (See figure 3), operating the multifunctional control
lever down with your right hand whilst advancing the timber with the
hold-down using your left hand.(see figure 3) and adjust to the desired
position.
PLEASE NOTE: this machine is conceived for cutting one single
timber piece at a time. DO NOT EVER CUT BUNDLED FIREWOOD!!
To engage the chiansaw and start the cycle, push the multifunctional
control lever down with your right hand whilst keeping the hold-
down firmly clamped on your timber with your left hand. Keep
the multifunctional lever down to the first step until the chainsaw
has completely cut the timber through. Logs that are cut off the
saw automatically roll down into the splitter trough. Now, pull the
multifunctional control lever a further step down to operate the push-
block of the log splitter section and start splitting.
When splitting is completed, shift the multifunctional control lever back
into the original start-position. The push-block slides inside the splitter
trough pushing the log towards the 4-way wedge that splits into 2,
4 or 6 pieces depending on the number of wings. The push-block is
operated by an hydraulic ram that automatically slides back to start-
position as soon as it reaches against stroke-end (maximum stroke is
completed and pressure is released).
While the push-block slides back, the machine is ready for feeding the
remaining timber against length gauge and start a new cycle again.
