If the hydraulic system is not vented, the trapped air will
damage the seals and cause permanent damage to the log
splitter.
Mains connection
Compare the voltage given on the machine model plate e.g.
230 V with the mains voltage and connect the machine to the
relevant and properly earthed plug.
Only use connection cables with sufficient cross-sections.
Connect the machine via a 30 mA fault current safety switch.
Fuse protection
230 V ~
16 A time-lag
Switching on / off
Prior to every use, check the function of the disconnection
mechanism (by switching on and off).
Do not use any device where the switch can not be switched
on and off. Damaged switches must be repaired or replaced
immediately by the customer service.
Lock in case of power (zero-voltage
initiator)
The equipment will switch off automatically if there is a power cut.
Repress the green button to switch it on again.
Hydraulics
Never operate the machine in the event of any possible
danger from hydraulic fluid.
Ensure that the machine and working area are clean and free
of oil.
Danger of slippage or fire!
Check the hydraulic reservoir regularly to ensure that it
contains enough hydraulic oil (see "Care and maintenance").
Capacity: approx. 4.4 litres

Never try to split logs containing nails, wire or other similar
objects.
Already split wood and wood chips create a dangerous
working area. The operator may stumble, slip or fall. Always
keep the working area neat and tidy.
Never place the hands on or near any moving parts of the
machine when it is switched on. Maintain a safe distance from
the log, the ram and the wedge in order to protect your hands
from injury.
The machine should only be used for splitting logs with a
maximum length of 1030 mm.
Check before splitting if the splitting column has been
sufficiently lubricated to allow its trouble-free retraction and
extension.
What type of logs can I split?
Size of logs
Length:
max. 1030 mm
Diameter:
min. 120 – max. 300 mm
The log diameter is a recommended guideline figure, because:
− thin logs can be difficult to split if they contain knots or if the
fibres are too strong.
Do not try to split green logs. Dry logs are much easier to split,
and do not cause jams as often as green (damp) wood.
Hardwood tend to bursting: Exercise utmost caution!
Operation
Two-hand operation
Never operate the log splitter with two people.
Never block the control handles (clamping claws).
1. Press the green switch on the electric motor. Wait a few
moments until the motor has reached its operating revolutions
and the required pressure has been built up in the hydraulic
pump.
At temperatures below –5° C, let the log splitter run for at
least 15 min. in neutral to heat up the oil.
2. Place the log on the log splitter table.
Only split the logs in the direction of the wood fibres.
3. Hold the log tight with the clamping claws.
4. Press both operating handles down simultaneously:
The splitting blade falls down and splits the log.
5. Release the two control handles, the splitting blade returns to
its initial position.
