Attaching the operating arms, Fig. 5
• Insert the operating arm (A) into the rock-
er arm (B) securing it with the hex-nut (C),
washer and locking nut. The locking nut
should be tightened so that the operating
arm can still be moved.
• Now attach the other operating arm on the
other side according to the method de-
scribed.
Attaching safety brackets on operating
arms, Fig. 5.1
Attach the two safety brackets (D) with 2
recessed head screws using the respective
holes (E).
Attaching the table plate, Fig. 6
The table plate can be attached at the vary-
ing three heights of 55 cm, 80 cm and 103
cm depending
on the length of the wood to be split. The
table locking screws A must be attached in
each appropriate mounting position.
Insert the table plate into the desired brack-
et B. Now tighten the table locking screws A
until the table plate is secure.
Working hints
Stroke limit for short logs, Fig. 7
Lower splitting knife position about 10 cm
above table.
• Move splitting knife to the desired posi-
tion
• Release one operating arm
• Switch motor off
• Release the second operating arm
• Release the locking screw A
• Push the stroke set rod B to the top until
it is stopped by the spring
• Retighten the locking screw A
• Switch motor on
• Check upper position
Setting the table height, Fig. 6
Upper table position for logs up to 55 cm,
centre table position for logs up to 80 cm,
lower table position for logs up to 103 cm.
Functional test
Test the function before every use.
Action:
Push both handles
towards below.
Let one handle loose,
then the other.
Let both handles loose.
Check the oil level before every use –
see chapter "Maintenance".
Splitting
• Place the log on the table, hold it with
both handles, press the handles down.
As soon as the splitting knife enters the
wood, push the handles down and to the
outside at the same time. This prevents
the wood from putting pressure on the
holder plates.
• Only split straight cut logs.
• Split the logs in vertical position.
• Never split in horizontal position or
across.
• Wear protective gloves when splitting.
Rational working method
- Upper position approx. 5 cm above log.
- Lower position approx. 10 cm above ta-
ble.
Putting into operation
Make sure the machine is completely and
expertly assembled. Check before every
use:
• The connection cables for any defective
spots (cracks, cuts etc.).
• The machine for any possible damage.
• The firm seat of all bolts.
• The hydraulic system for leakage.
• The oil level.
Venting, Fig. 8
Before working with the log splitter, vent the
hydraulic system.
• Release the venting cap A by a few revo-
lutions so the air can escape from the oil
tank.
Result:
Splitting knife
goes down to
approx. 10 cm
above the table.
Splitting knife
stops in the
desired position.
Splitting knife
returns to upper
position.
