Using your right hand, press the electric motor button to
full extent and control the operating lever with your left
hand.
The traversing table is moving forward, pressing the log
through the splitting knife.
Caution: If the button has not been pressed to full
extent, the switch contact could get damaged.
If the log is not to be split immediately, do not hold the
slide valve pressed. Pull the log slide valve back and try
again. A small log may also be difficult to split if knotty and
fibrous. Wider logs with regular fibrous wood are not
difficult to split. If wood is too hard, the log needs to be
processed by a special machine to prevent damage to the
appliance.
Repeat the operating step with wood cut into smaller
pieces.
The log splitter needs to be unplugged after finishing work.
The cable must not be pulled when doing so.
Caution: The engine may switch off due to overheating
after several hours of operation or when splitting big and
hard logs. In such a case, let the appliance cool down for
at least app. 15 minutes and then continue with the work.

Disposal
The disposal instructions are based on icons placed on the
appliance or its package. The description of the meanings
can be found in the "Marking" chapter.
Transport package disposal
The package protects the appliance against damage
during transport. Packing materials are usually chosen
depending on their environmental friendliness and disposal
method and can therefore be recycled.
Returning the package to material circulation saves raw
materials and reduces waste disposal costs.
Parts of packages (e.g. foils, styropor) can be dangerous
to children. Risk of suffocation!
Keep parts of packages away from children and dispose
them as soon as possible.
