structure. If a log gets caught on the

splitting wedge, turn the splitter OFF

before attempting to free it. When

removing a stuck log, do not reach

into the area between it and the sup-

port table. After freeing the log, do

not try to split it again at the same

place. Try splitting it again in

another place.

6.1 Splitting

1. Pivot the appropriate support table

under the splitting wedge and

secure it in place with the locking

lever (23).

You can select from 3 support

tables, depending on the length of

the log to be split:

− An upper pivoting support table

(20)

(for logs up to 550 mm in length.)

− A middle pivoting support table

(21)

(for logs between 550 mm and

870 mm in length)

− A lower support table (22)

(for logs between 870 mm and

1085 mm in length)

2. Pivot any unused support table to

the side and out of the way.

3. Swing the guard rail (25) down to

the front operating position.

4. Start the splitter (24) – by pressing

the GREEN switch.

5. Place a log vertically on the support

table.

6. Hold the log in place with the claws

on the operating levers (19).

7. Move the operating levers.

The operating levers control the

movement of the splitting knife;

There are the following three control

options:

− Press both operating levers

downward – The work cycle

starts, and the splitting knife

moves downward to split the log.

− Press only one operating lever

downward – The splitting knife

stops.

− Release both operating levers –

The splitting knife moves back

upward to its start position.

The splitting knife stops automati-

cally in the upper or lower position

(end of travel).

8. When the log is split, release both

operating levers – The splitting knife

then returns to its start position.

9. Remove the split pieces of wood,

and place them off to the side and

out of the immediate work area –

Now you are ready to continue split-

ting.

10. If you do not intend to continue

working immediately, turn off the

splitter by pressing the RED switch.

(24) –

Note:

It is often the case that longer

logs cannot be split in one work cycle

and may get caught and stuck on the

splitting knife. In this case, move the

splitting knife upward with the stuck log

still attached. Then, pivot the most suita-

ble support table under the log and

repeat the splitting procedure.

6.2 Changing the start posi-

tion of the splitting knife

In addition to the height options provided

by the three pivoting support tables, you

can also change the upper start position

of the splitting knife to even better

accommodate the length of the log to be

split. With the upper start position for the

splitting knife set lower, the knife

requires less time to approach the work.

The results in a shorter work cycle.

Lowering the upper start position

1. Turn on the splitter (press the

GREEN switch).

2. Press both operating levers down-

ward – As soon as the splitting knife

has reached the new desired height,

release the left lever.

3. Switch machine OFF

4. Loosen the wing nut (27) and pull

out the control rod (26) until it

reaches the stop. Retighten the

wing nut.

The upper start position is now set

as desired. Continue to operate the

splitter as previously described.

Resetting the splitting knife to its

upper start position

1. Switch machine OFF

2. Loosen the wing nut (27) and push

in the control rod (26) until it

reaches the stop. Retighten the

wing nut.

The upper start position is now reset

at the maximum height.

Danger!

Prior to all servicing:

− Switch machine OFF

− Unplug power cable

DANGER! Directly after stopping the

splitter, the hydraulic oil and hydrau-

lic system parts may be hot! Let the

splitter cool down before any servic-

ing.

Avoid direct skin contact with hydrau-

lic oil. Wear protective gloves.

Dispose of hydraulic oil in an envi-

ronmentally friendly manner at a

proper waste oil collection point.

When topping up or changing the

hydraulic oil, be sure to use only

approved types of oil (see "Technical

Specifications").

• Replace damaged parts, especially

safety devices, only with genuine

replacement parts since parts not

tested and approved by the equip-

ment manufacturer can cause

unforeseeable damage.

• Repair and maintenance work other

than described in this section should

only be carried out by qualified spe-

cialists.

• Check that all safety devices are

operational again after each service.
