• Any other use is considered to be

not intended. The manufacturer

excludes any liability for resulting

damages, the risk is exclusively

borne by the user.

The machine has been built using

modern technology and in accordance

with recognized safety rules.

Some hazards, however, may still

remain.

• The splitting tool poses a danger

of injury to fingers and hands by

improper feeding or placement of

wood.

• Danger of injury from thrown

wood due to improper holding or

feeding.

• The use of incorrect or damaged

mains cables can lead to elctrical

injuries.

• Minimize remaining hazards by

following the instructions in

”Safety Rules”, ”Use only as

authorized” and in the entire

operating manual.

Transport fork lift/lifting carrier:

To remove the machine from the palette,

two persons will be required.

The machine may be transported while

held in a diagonal position. Use the hand

grip and pull gently while the machine

stands on its wheels.

Your machine can be stored or transpor-

ted under ambient temperatures bet-

ween -20° C and +60° C at a max.

humidity of 80 %.

For packaging reasons, the base (6) is

to be installed by the customer.

Use the 5 saucerhead screws M8x12

that are included in the delivery.

Place the device horizontally on the

floor, and put the Styropor pad of the

packaging underneath the splitting

wedge side.

Prepare the workplace where the

machine is to be placed. Ensure suffi-

cient room to allow safe work without

malfunctions.

The machine is designed to operate on a

level surface and must be placed secu-

rely on firm, level ground.

Please make sure your machine is

placed firmly on stable plain ground.

Regularly check the electrical connec-

tion lines for damages. Please make

sure that the connection lines are dis-

connected from the mains supply

during the check.

Electrical connection lines must meet

the applicable VDE and DIN regulati-

ons and the provisions of the local

power supply company.

Only use connection lines labeled

with H07RN.

The labeling of the connection cable

with the type specification is required.

Damaged electrical connections

Often, insulation damages occur on

electrical connection lines.

The possible causes are:

• Drag marks if connection lines are

led through window or door clear-

ances. .

• Kinks due to improper attachment or

routing of the connection line.

• Cuts caused by running over the

connection line.

• Insulation damages caused by pull-

ing the connection line out of the

wall socket.

• Fissures caused by the aging of the

insulation.

Such defective electrical con-

nection lines must not be used and

are, due to the insulation damages,

life threatening!

Single phase motor 230 V/ 50 Hz

• The supply voltage must be

220-240 V/ 50 Hz.

• The mains connection and exten-

sion cable must have 3 wires =

P+N+SL. - (1/N/PE).

• Extension lines up to a length of 25

m must have a minimum cross sec-

tion of 1.5 mm

, lines with a length

exceeding 25 m must have a mini-

mum cross section of 2.5 mm

• The mains connection is protected

with a maximum of 16 A.

Before operating your

machine, the bleed screw should be

loosened by some rotations until air

can go in and out of the oil tank

smoothly. Failed to loosen the

bleed screw will keep the sealed

air in hydraulic system being com-

pressed after being decom-

pressed. Such continuous compres-

sion/decompression will blow out

the seals of the hydraulic system

and cause permanent damage to

your machine.

Before moving your machine,

make sure the bleed screw is tighte-

ned to avoid oil leaking from this

point.

Only split plain cut log.

1. Place the log plain onto the work

table (3).

2. Fix the log pusher in the required

position according to the length of

the log.

Position 1: Length up to 52 cm,

Position 2: Length up to 47 cm,

Position 3: Length up to 42 cm.

3. Your machine is equipped with Two-

hands Control System that requires

to be operated by both hands of

the user – left hand controls the

Hydraulic Lever (13) while right

hand controls the pushbutton

switch (8). Trigger type lock-out

device is adopted to avoid acci-

dental hydraulic control lever

pushdown.

4. Simultaneously push pushbutton

switch (8) to start the splitting action.

The log splitter will freeze upon absence

of either hand.

Never force your machine for more than

5 seconds by keeping pressure on it to

split excessively hard wood. For such

extremely hard log, rotate it by 90° to

see whether it can be split in a diffe-

rent direction.

In any case, if you are not able to

split the log, this means that its hard-

ness exceeds the capacity of the

machine and thus should be discar-

ded to protect the log splitter.

Overloading causesþa thermal overload

protectionþto trip. After a few seconds

the machine can be started again. To

restart the reset button (8a) must be

pressed first.

Wrongly placed log (Fig. 4)

Always set logs firmly on the log retai-

ning plates and work table. Make sure

logs will not twist, rock or slip while

being split. Do not force the blade by

splitting logs on the upper part. This

will break the blade or damage the

machine.

Do not attempt to split 2 pieces of logs at

the same time. One of them may fly up

and hit you.
