Visually inspect for any damage to the machine from log or forklift impact

Test door interlock and all 3 light curtains to confirm machine de-energizes

Visually inspect cranes for hook wear and any broken wires

If more than one wire strand is broken or hook integrity is compromised remove from service

Remove and check top jaw wear is no more than 0.025" from tip to blade stop

On every 3rd top jaw replacement, replace the bottom jaw

Check grinding motors with hands to ensure they are not loose (no wobble)

Confirm top to bottom jaw gap is equal from side-to-side to prevent roll race tracking
