Setting the table height
Upper table position for logs up to 62 cm,
centre table position for logs up to 80 cm,
lower table position for logs up to 102 cm.
without use of the table, columns on base plate for logs
up to 135 cm
Note: When using the splitting cross, the clearance is re-
duced by 2 cm.
Functional test
Test the function before every use.
Action:
Push both handles towards below.
Let one handle loose, then the
other.
Let both handles loose.
Check the oil level before every use – see chapter "Mainte-
nance".
Splitting
• Place the log on the table, hold it with both handles,
press the handles down. As soon as the splitting knife
enters the wood, push the handles down and to the
outside at the same time. This prevents the wood from
putting pressure on the holder plates.
• Only split straight cut logs.
• Split the logs in vertical position.
• Never split in horizontal position or across.
• Wear protective gloves when splitting.
Rational working method
Upper position approx. 5 cm above log.
Lower position approx. 10 cm above table.
Putting into operation
Make sure the machine is completely and expertly assem
bled. Check before every use:
• The connection cables for any defective spots (cracks,
cuts etc.).
• The machine for any possible damage.
• The firm seat of all bolts.
• The hydraulic system for leakage.
• The oil level.
Venting, Fig. 10
Before working with the log splitter, vent the hydraulic
system.
• Release the venting cap A by a few revolutions so the
air can escape from the oil tank.
• Leave the cap open during the operation.
Result:
Splitting knife goes
down to approx. 10 cm
above the table.
Splitting knife stops in
the desired position.
Splitting knife returns to
upper position.
