6.3 Lay out the power cable.
Make sure that you have a suitable socket outlet
available and, if necessary, a suitable extension
cable.
6.4 Setting up the splitter securely in an upright
position.
The wood splitter may only be placed on a flat
surface. To ensure the equipment's stability it is
necessary to screw the wood splitter to a concrete
floor with the two steel dowels (Item 28). Select a
location at which the wood splitter can be operated
permanently. Place the wood splitter in the desired
position and mark the drill holes. For secure
anchoring of the steel dowels, drill a hole with a
diameter of 12 mm and a depth of 60 mm into the
concrete floor at each of the fixing points (Fig. 27b
and 27c/ Item 27). Push the steel dowels into the
drilled holes, place the wood splitter in position and
screw it to the floor. The wood splitter may only be
operated at ground level. Do not place any material
under the wood splitter to adjust the height of the
machine or to attempt to improve its stability. If the
wood splitter is on an angle and/or wobbly, move it to
a different location. Do not operate the machine on
soft surfaces such as a lawn or gravel since the
machine could sink or tip over during operation.
6.5 Ventilate.
The ventilation screw (Fig. 33 / Item A) must
always be undone during operation to ensure
that the machine operates correctly. Undo the
ventilation screw by 5 turns before you start the
machine and then tighten it again after using the
wood splitter.
See information label (Fig. 39).
6.6 Place the trunk in the wood splitter.
Only wood that has flat edges can be split in the
machine. Position the trunk you wish to split vertically
and centrally on the trunk support so that the splitter
is over the center of the trunk. Adjust the trunk
holding plates using the knurled screws so that the
trunk can be held perfectly. Never attempt to split a
piece of wood that is not secure, to split it at an angle
or to split wood with angled edges. This can result in
injury to the user and damage to the machine.

6.7 Two-hand operation.
Switch on the machine using the green ON switch
(Fig. 28 / Item A). Move the cover over the ON/OFF
switch (Fig. 29) to ensure that the Emergency Stop
function is active. Wait a few seconds whilst the
electric motor gets up to speed and the required
pressure builds up in the hydraulic pump. The
machine is ready for use when the splitter is fully
extended.
Proceed as follows to split the trunk
Press the control levers together so that the
trunk you wish to split is held secured by the
trunk holding plates (Fig. 30)
Now push the two control levers down at the
same time (Fig. 31). The splitter moves
downwards and presses the wood you wish to
split against the trunk support, splitting it as it
does so. When the trunk has been split, release
the control levers and the splitter will move
upwards again.
Important. Continue to hold the split wood with
the trunk holding plates. It may be that long
pieces of wood will not be split completely and
will therefore move upwards with the splitter.
These pieces of wood must therefore be split in
several stages. You can start, for example, with
the trunk support at its lowest position (Fig. 22 /
Item C), continue by splitting the wood in the
central position (Fig. 22 / Item B) and then finish
splitting the wood with the trunk support in its
highest position (Fig. 22 / Item A).
Switch off the machine at the red OFF switch (Fig. 28
/ Item B) after completing the work or to adjust the
trunk support.
Important!
If the trunk fails to split immediately, never
attempt to force it to split by maintaining the
pressure for more than a few seconds. This may
damage the machine. It is far more advisable to
try and reposition the trunk on the splitter or to
remove the trunk altogether and place it to one
side.
6.8 Stack while you are working.
By doing this you will make sure that you have a safe
area in which to work because you will keep it clear
of obstacles and prevent any risk of tripping over or
of the power cable becoming damaged.
