Function Test - Scheppach OX 3-1000 Anleitung

• Injuries by the work piece being catapulted out of ma-
chine due to improper clamping or guidance.
• Electrical hazard due to use of improper power cords.
• Furthermore there might be non-obvious remaining
risks despite all precautions.
• Residual risks can be reduced if safety instructions,
intended use, as well as all operating instructions are
observed.
• Danger due to particular characteristics of wood
(branches, irregular shapes, etc.).

transport with a fork lift truck:
For shipment, the machine is fixed to a pallet by steel
bands. It is protected by a plastic sheet cover.
At least two persons are required to lift it off the pallet.
Tilt it carefully to the side with the wheels and let it glide
off the pallet.
Attention: The log splitter has a high centre of gravity -
danger of tipping over!
transportation by Hand
In order to move the wood splitter, splitting knife 9 must
be pushed all the way down. The splitter must be tipped
slightly to the splitting column with the transport han-
dles, until the machine inclines to the wheels and can
be moved.
transport with a crane
Pull through 2 ropes crosswise under the frame and lift
carefully.
Attention: Never lift the machine at the splitting knife!
storage conditions:
Maintain the following storage conditions:
- dry, sheltered storage location
- maximum humidity 80%

setting-up
Prepare the location, where the machine will stand. Clear
enough space to ensure safe and trouble-free working.
The machine is designed for operation on level surfaces
and must stand stably on a level, solid underground.
Assembly
Packaging considerations have dictated that your wood
splitter is not completely assembled upon delivery.
Assembling the operating arm, Fig. 2
Place operating arm A in the lateral connection C, and
tighten the hexagon screw D, with the disc and the safety
bolt. The safety bolt should only be tightened to the point
where the operating arm can still be moved.

Function test

Before every use you should conduct a function test.
Action: Result:
Pressing both handles down. The splitting knife moves
down - as far as approx. 5 cm
above the table.
Releasing either handle. The splitting knife stays in its
position.
Releasing both handles. The splitting knife moves
back into top position.
Operating Instructions
travel limit
• Move the splitting knife into the desired position.
• Release one control lever,
• Switch motor off,
• Release second control lever,
• Move the travel adjustment bar up until it is under
tension and fasten it with the tommy screw.
• Switch motor on, and
• Check upper position.
splitting
• Place the wood on the table and hold it down with the
two handles. Push the handles down. Once the split-
ting knife enters the wood, push the handles outward
and with an equal amount of pressure downward. This
prevents the pressure from being placed on the hold-
ing arms.
• Only split squarely cut logs.
• Split logs in upright position.
• Never in horizontal position or across.
• Wear appropriate gloves while splitting logs.
Attention: When operating the machine the pivoting table
must always be in the locked position!
pivoting table for short pieces of wood up to 60 cm, Fig. 3.1
In order to split wood, both of the pivoting tables must be
in the operating position and locked.
pivoting table for wood up to 96,5 cm, Fig. 3.2
In order to split wood of this length, the lower pivoting
table must be in the operating position and locked.
table for long pieces of wood up to 104/133 cm, Fig. 3.3
In order to split wood of this length, both pivoting tables
must be swung outward.
