5.4 Power connection

Danger! High voltage

Operate the machine only on a

power source matching the following

requirements (see also "Technical

specifications"):

− Outlets with neutral wire, being

properly installed, grounded and

tested.

− Mains voltage and frequency

must conform with the data

stated on the machine's name-

plate.

− Fuse protection by a residual cur-

rent device (RCD) of 30 mA fault

current sensivity.

− System impedance Z

max.

at the

interconnection point (house

service connection) 0.35 Ohm

maximum.

Note:

Check with your local Electricity

Board or electrician if in doubt whether

your house service connection meets

these requirements.

Position power supply cable so it

does not interfere with the work and

is not damaged.

Protect power supply cable from heat,

corrosive liquids and sharp edges.

Use only rubber-jacketed extension

cords with sufficient wire gauge (see

"Technical specifications").

Do not pull on power supply cable to

unplug.

5.5 Initial operation

Keep clear of the moving split-

ting knife!

To ensure safe transport, the splitting

knife is retained in the lowest position

during shipping. When the transport

retainer (18) is removed and the

machine is turned on, the splitting

knife will automatically travel upward.

During initial operation, be sure that

there is about one meter of clearance

available above the splitting knife.

Changing the direction of rota-

tion! (Only applies to machines using

AC current)

Depending on the phase sequence, it

is possible that the electric motor will

turn in the wrong direction. If the elec-

tric motor turns in the wrong direc-

tion, the splitting wedge cannot be

operated. If such case, the phase

changer setting must be changed:

1. Install machine ready for work and

connect it to the power suply.

2. To check for this condition, start the

splitter (press the GREEN switch) –

If the splitting knife does not move,

turn off the machine (press the RED

switch).

3. Unplug the power cable at the split-

ter.

4. Using a flat-bladed screwdriver,

push the phase changer inside the

machine's plug down and turn it

180°.

Caution!

Do not attempt to turn the

phase changer at the contact pins!

5. Turn the machine on again– The

splitting knife will automatically

travel upwards.

Please take note of the following

safety information before operating

the machine!

Also follow the safety instructions

given at the beginning of this manual!

Hazard generated by machine

defects!

Before starting any work, check to see

that the following are in proper working

order:

• Check the hydraulic lines for dam-

age. Check for any leaking hydraulic

oil. Check that the hydraulic line

sleeves are in place.

• Check the operating levers for dam-

age. Check that the operating levers

move freely and fully back into their

initial upper operating position.

• Power cable, power cable plug and

switch (if damaged, have replaced

by a qualified electrician)

Hazard generated by insuffi-

cient personal protection gear!

• Wear suitable work clothing, provid-

ing protection against falling logs.

• Wear hearing protection.

• Wear safety glasses.

• Wear non-slip safety shoes.

Risk of personal injury and

crushing by moving parts!

• Do not operate the machine without

installed safety guards.

When the splitter is turned on, the

splitting knife immediately travels to

the top of its travel automatically. Be

sure that there is about 1 meter of

clearance above the splitting knife.

• Keep sufficient distance to driven

components when operating the

machine.

• Do not hold the log to be split

directly with your hands. Use the

claws on the operating levers only.

• Always operate the splitting wedge

with both hands on the operating

levers.

• Always assume a proper, safe work

position:

− at the front on the operator side

− Directly in front of the splitter

Danger of injury due to unex-

pected, sudden movement of the log

being split!

• Only split one piece of wood at a

time.

• Always position the log vertically on

the support table.

• Always split a log lengthwise in the

same direction as the wood fibers

run.

• Logs with branch stubs can be very

difficult to split (irregular cross-grain
