6. Recommended size of the trunks for
splitting
Trunk holding capacity:
BT-LS 44: 370 mm (L) x (50 — 250) mm (diameter)
BT-LS 55: 520 mm (L) x (50 — 250) mm (diameter)
1. The trunk diameters given above are indicative
only.
Thin pieces of wood can be very difficult to split if
they contain knot holes or have very tough fibers.
On the other hand, it may be possible to split
thicker pieces of wood if they have smooth and
loose fibers.
2. Never attempt to force the wood splitter to split
excessively hard pieces of wood under cylinder
pressure for more than 5 seconds. Overheated
oil under pressure may cause damage to the
machine. It is very important that you stop the
machine if the wood splitter fails to split the wood
at the first attempt. Then turn the trunk through
90° and attempt to split it again. If the wood still
fails to split this means that it is too hard for the
capacity of the machine and must be removed to
avoid damaging the wood splitter.
7. Operation
1. Plan your work area. To work in safety and
save yourself a lot of effort, plan your work area
in advance. Position the trunks where they are

easy to reach. Allocate an area for stacking the
split wood or load it onto a wheelbarrow or other
means of transportation positioned to one side.
2. Prepare the trunks for splitting. This wood
1500 W splitter can accommodate trunks with maximum
lengths of 370 mm (BT-LS 44) / 520 mm (BT-LS
2950 rpm
55) and diameters of 50 – 250 mm. If you cut
B
branches or large logs, never cut any lengths
IP 54 which exceed those specified. Never attempt to
split fresh trunks. Dried timber which has been in
5 t
storage is much easier to split than fresh (moist)
390 mm
wood and will not stick so often.
3. Lay out the power cable. Make sure that you
have a suitable socket outlet available and, if
necessary, a suitable extension cable.
4. Stand the splitter securely in an upright
position. Make sure that the splitter is securely
520 mm
positioned horizontally on a flat support which is
3.2 l
60 - 75 cm high and has no other objects on it
45 kg
which may hinder the operatorʼs freedom of
movement. Never operate the splitter on the
78 dB(A)
ground as this may result in chips or waste
material causing injuries to the face. It is
recommended that you use a wood splitter
platform. If necessary, block the wheels with
wedges to prevent them from turning.
5. Ventilate. (Fig. 19). Slacken the ventilation
screw (A) by turning it 3 - 4 revolutions every
time you use the splitter. Do not retighten the
screw again until you have finished your wood
splitting work.
6. Place the trunk in the wood splitter (Fig. 1).
Place the trunk lengthwise and flat on the main
frame (10) of the splitter. The trunk must lie flat
on the splitter and be enclosed by the trunk
guidance panels. Never attempt to split a trunk at
an angle. Make sure that the wedge (1) and the
trunk pusher (3) are aligned vertically to the ends
of the trunk.
7. Two-hand operation. Press in the On/Off switch
on the electric motor (Fig. 20/Item A). Wait a few
seconds for the motor to start up and air to be
built up in the hydraulic pump. Then press the
two operating handles (Fig. 21/Item C)
downwards together at the same time. The trunk
pusher (Fig. 1/Item 3) will then apply pressure to
the trunk and press it against the wedge (Fig.
1/Item 1), thereby splitting the trunk. Once the
trunk has been split, release the operating
handles (Fig. 21/Item C) so the trunk pusher
(Fig. 1/Item 3) can be moved back again.
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
