Observe the following in order to keep the log splitter in
good working order:
Clean the machine thoroughly after you have fin-
ished using it.
Remove any resin remains on the machine.
Lubricate the splitting column regularly or oil it using
environmentally friendly spray oil.
Check the oil level and change the oil as necessary.
Check hydraulic hoses and hose connections regu-
larly for any leaks and firm fitting.
Sharpenning the splitting blade
This log splitter is equipped with a reinforced splitting blade
that has received special treatment. After longer operating
periods, for reduced splitting performance or slight deforma-
tion of the cutting edge, grind the splitting blade or sharpen it
with a fine file (remove burrs). Fig. 11

How do I check the oil level?
The hydraulic system is a closed system with oil tank, oil
pump and control valve. Regularly check the lubricating oil
level. Low lubricating oil levels can damage the oil pump. The
lubricating oil level is approx. 1 ~ 2 cm below the oil tank
surface.
The splitting column must be in run-in state. Fig. 12
