Never forget to loosen the filling screw (Fig. 16)!
Otherwise, the air in the system will constantly be compressed
and decompressed with the result that the seals of the hydraulic
circuit will be destroyed and the wood splitter can no longer be
used. In this case, the seller and the manufacturer will not be
liable to warranty services.
Place a log vertically on the table so that it lies flat and press it against
the retention thorns to secure it. Make sure that the riving knife and
the table have contact with the full surface of the log ends. Never try to
split wood at an angle. Lower the riving knife until the wood is split.
By pressing the return bracket down or the handles up, the riving knife
is returned to its initial position.
The splitting power and speed are regulated via a 2-level system.
In general, the lower level is for higher speed and lower splitting pres-
sure in order to split conventional wood. (Push both operating levers
all the way down.) Very slightly push the operating lever (operation
with two hands) up for maximum splitting power and therefore a lower
splitting speed for splitting fresh and hard wood. The individual levels
can be set easily by slowly moving the operating lever - up or down.
Split the wood with the grain. Do not place wood diagonally for
splitting on the kindling splitter. This can be dangerous and
cause severe damage to the machine. Do not remove jammed
logs with your hands. Never let other people help you when re-
moving jammed logs. Piled up, split wood and wood chips can be
dangerous. Never work in an untidy working environment where
you can slip, stumble or fall.
Using the safety arm
The safety arm can be set at different height positions, depending on
the length of the wood.
Splitting
• If the outside temperature is below 5°C, let the machine run idle
D GB
for about 5 minutes so the hydraulic system reaches its operating
temperature. Place the log under the splitting blade vertically.
• Caution: The splitting blade is very sharp. Risk of injury!
• When you push both operating levers down, the splitting blade
goes down and splits the wood.
• Only ever split logs that have been sawn off straight.
• Split the log vertically.
• Never split it lying down or diagonally to the grain!
• Wear suitable gloves and safety boots when splitting wood.
• Split very misshapen logs from the edge.
• Caution: During splitting, some logs can be under significant
tension and suddenly break.
• Force jammed logs out by applying pressure in the splitting
direction or by raising the riving knife. In this case, only
push the handles up, do not use the return bracket. Caution:
Risk of injury
Stroke limitation
The stroke limitation can be set steplessly. If you have logs of more
than 100 cm in length, position the connector right at the top of the rod
and lock it with the star grip.
Automatic return
Do not enable automatic return if the trunk lifter is not in use and
is locked into the retaining hook. (Figure 23)
When the spring of the return lever is removed (Figure 22), the splitting
wedge automatically travels back once both control levers have been
released. Hang the springs back in the return bracket (Figure 21), and
as soon as you no longer need automatic return, switch off the trunk
lifter or the machine.
Operating the log lifter
General information about the log lifter:
• For safety reasons, the log lifter chain may only be hung on
the splitting blade with the last link.
• Ensure that nobody else is within the working environment
of the log lifter.
• Disable the automatic return before using the trunk lifter.
Operating the log lifter:
• Loosen the log lifter restraining hook so the lifting tube can move
freely.
• Move the splitting blade so far down that the log lifter lifting tube
lies on the ground.
• In this position, you can roll the log to be split onto the lifting tube.
(The log has to be between the two fixing tips.)
• Push the return bracket down or the handles up so the splitting
blade moves up. (Caution! Do not stand in the working environ-
ment of the log lifter! Risk of injury!)
• Now align the log, push it against the retention thorn and split it
(see: Operating instructions).
• Then remove the split wood and move the riving knife and there-
fore the log lifter back down.
• Now you can roll a new log onto the log lifter.
Resetting the log lifter
This is used as a second guard arm when not using the trunk lifter or
when automatic return is enabled.
For this, the arm is moved up until it locks in position in the hook.
Transport position of the log lifter:
• Using your hand, move the log lifter up until it locks in position.
Comply with these notices to ensure quick and safe work.
Electrical connection m
Check electrical connection cables regularly for damage. Ensure that
the connecting cable is not attached to the mains when you are check-
ing it.
Electrical connecting cables must correspond to the relevant VDE and
DIN regulations. Only use connecting cables with the code H 07 RN.
The type designation must be printed on the connecting cable by
regulation.
The customer's mains connection must be secured with a fault-current
circuit breaker with a rated differential current of max. 30 mA.
Faulty electrical connecting cables
Insulation damage often occurs at electrical connecting cables.
Causes include:
• Pinch points when connecting cables are run through window or
door gaps.
• Kinks resulting from incorrect attachment or laying of the connec-
tion cable.
• Cuts resulting from running over the connecting cable.
• Insulation damage resulting from forcefully pulling out of the wall
socket.
• Cracks through aging of insulation.
Such defective electrical connection cables must not be used as the
insulation damage makes them extremely hazardous.
Three-phase motor 400 V/50 Hz
Mains voltageg 400 V/50 Hz.
Mains voltage and extension cables must be 5-lead 3P + N + SL
(3/N/PE). Extension leads must have a minimum cross section of 2.5
mm² and must not exceed a length of 20 m.
Mains fuse protection is 16 A maximum.
