The machine has been built in accordance
with the state of the art and recognised
safety standards. Nevertheless, individual
residual risks can occur when working.

Risk of injury to fingers and hands from the
splitting tool when improperly leading or
supporting the wood.

Transport with forklift trucks/lifting carts:
Before delivery, the machine should be secured
with steel tapes and securely mounted on a pal-
let. The machine is protected by a plastic sheet.
To lift it off the pallet, several persons or techni-
cal resources are required.
Note: The centre of gravity of the log splitter
is high – risk of tipping over!
Transport by crane:
For transport using the hook, the crane lifting

eye on the upper part of the machine should be
used. Never lift on the splitter blade!
Mount axle Fig. 3
Place axle on the splitter and attach with 2 U-
bolts and 4 nuts.
Assemble the wheels Fig. 4.
Place 1 washer, 1 wheel, 1 washer on both sides
of the axle and secure it with a cotter pin.
Assemble the control handle Fig. 5
Because of packing reasons you must mount
one control handle himself. You can see it on the
mounted control handle and at picture Fig. 5.
Mount the support arm Fig. 6
Secure the support arm with a hexagonal bolt
M10x40, two washers and a nut
Make sure that the machine is assembled
completely and properly. Check the fol-
lowing before each use:
•
The mains cables for defects (cracks, cuts,
etc.),
•
The machine for any damage,
•
Whether all screws are tightened,
•
The hydraulics for leaks and
•
The oil level.
•
that the guides are lubricated with grease
Check the direction of run of the motor. When
the splitter arm is not in the upper position, move
the splitter blade to the top position using the
return bracket or the handles. If the splitter arm
is already at the topmost position, activate the
Residual Risks m
•
Injuries from flying workpiece due to impro-
per guidance or support.
•
Risk of electric shock when using improper
mains supply cables.
•
Furthermore, latent residual risks can per-
sist in spite of all measures adopted.

Installation
Mount the retaining hooks Fig. 7
Fasten the retaining hooks to the frame with 2
hexagonal bolts and 2 nuts.
Mount the log holder Fig. 8 and 9
Fasten the log holder to the retaining tab with 1
hexagonal bolt M16x100.
Hook the chain onto the frame.
Support wheel Fig. 10
Slide the support wheel inside the holder and fix
it with the feather plug.
Mount transport handle Fig. 11
Fix the transport handle with the plug bolt and
safe it with the feather plug.
Start-up
splitting mechanism by moving the two levers
down. This moves the splitting arm downwards.
If the splitter blade does not move despite pres-
sing the handles or the return bracket, turn off
the machine immediately. Phase turner (Fig. 13)
Never run the motor in the wrong direction
of rotation! This inevitably leads to the de-
struction of the pumping system, and thus,
no guarantee can be claimed.
Caution!
Before start-up, loosen the filler plug (fig.
9.1).
Never forget to loosen the filler plug!
Otherwise, the air in the system is com-

temperature.
Installation
Prepare the workplace where you want to install
the machine. Create enough space for safe,
trouble-free working.
The machine is designed to work on flat
surfaces and must be erected on a level, solid
base.
Bring the log splitter to working position
Fig. 12
Connect the splitter to the mains supply.
Pay attention to the direction of rotation of the
motor.
Lower both control handles until the cylinder
locks into the guide.
Plug in the two L-pins to secure the cylinder on
the log splitter. Secure the L-pins in the spring
tabs.
Mount transport handle Fig.19
Fix the transport handle with the hexagon screw

leading to the destruction of the seals of the
hydraulic circuit and rendering the log split-
ter unusable. In this case, the seller and the
manufacturer dissociate themselves from
any guarantee claims.
Turning on/off
Press the green button to turn on.
Press the red button to turn off.
Note: before every use, check the on/off switch
unit for proper functioning by turning on and off
once.
