Release the air from the hydraulic system before putting the log splitter in operation.
Loosen the bleed screw of the column tank by turning a couple of times until the air can flow in and
out.
The draught of the oil tank should be detectable.
Before moving the log splitter, never forget to loosen the bleed screw (fig. 7)!
Otherwise, the air in the system is com-pressed and relaxed again and again, leading to the
destruction of the seals of the hydraulic circuit and rendering the log splitter unusable. In this case,
the seller and the manufacturer will dissociate themselves from any guarantee claims.
Switching on: Set the switch to ON position.
Switching off: Set the switch to OFF position.
Check the direction of run of the motor. When you turn on the motor, activate the splitting
mechanism by moving both levers down.
If the splitter arm does not move after the machine is turned on, Please check the direction of the
rotation of the motor immediately.
Place the log vertically on the support table, so that it lies flat on its face, and press it against the
retaining pin.
To secure it. Make sure that the wedge and support table touch the end faces of the log completely.
Never attempt to split the log at an angle. Move the splitter wedge down until the log is split.
Return the splitter wedge to the starting position by pressing the return bracket downwards or the
handles upwards.
The splitting force and speed is regulated by a 2-step system.
The lower lever is generally meant for higher speed and lower splitting pressure to split normal
wood (press both levers all the way down).
Push the control lever (2-manual operation) slightly upwards to achieve maximum splitting force
and thus, a lower splitting speed for split-ting freshly cut and hard wood.
The individual levels can be easily set up or down by slowly moving the lever.
It is prohibited to work with the log splitter in a tilted transport position.
Split the wood along the grain direction. Do not place the log to be split transversely on the log
splitter. This can be dangerous and may seriously damage the machine.
Do not remove a firmly stuck log with your hands. You should never get the help of other people to
remove firmly stuck log.
Piled up, split wood and wood chips can be dangerous. Never work in a messy work area in which
you may slip, stumble or fall.
Use of the protective sleeve
The protective sleeve is height-adjustable in different stages, depending on the timber length.
Splitting at temperatures below 5 °C, allow the machine to run idle for about five minutes so that the
hydraulic system reaches the operating temperature. Insert the log in an upright position under the
splitter blade.
Note: the splitter blade is very sharp – risk of injury!
When you press the two levers down, the splitting blade moves down and splits the wood.
Split only logs that are cut straight.
Split logs in an upright state.
