Inspections and servicing (pic. 2+7+8)
Safety instructions for inspections and servicing:
Only a regularly serviced and treated appliance may be a
satisfactory aid. Inadequate servicing and maintenance may
lead to unforeseen accidents and injuries.
•
Never use aggressive cleaning agents to clean the
appliance. That could damage or destroy the
appliance.
•
Unplug the appliance.
•
Have any repairs and servicing of the electrical
equipment provided by electricians only.
•
All protective and safety equipment must be immediately
refitted after repairs and servicing works are finished.
The following is recommended (pic. 2):
•
Splitting knife
The splitting knife is a component that is subject to quick
wear and must be ground down additionally if necessary.
That will increase the splitting output and protect the
splitter. Tip: lubricate the splitting knife with fat!
•
Two-hand protective equipment
The combined holding and clamping equipment must run
easily. From time to time, lubricate it with a few drops of
oil.
•
Splitting post
Every time the appliance is to be used, lubricate the
splitting post with fat. That will increase the service life of
the sliding jaws (pic. A/2). Pull the splitting post out to the
full extent and equally apply multi-purpose fat to all 4
sides of the splitting post.
•
Movable parts
Keep the splitting knife guide clean (remove any dirt,
splinters, bark, etc.). Slide rails to be lubricated with fat.
•
Hydraulic equipment
Hydraulic connections screwing should be checked for
leaking and wear. Tighten the screwing if necessary.
Checking the hydraulic oil level (pic. 7+8):
Check the hydraulic oil level only when in a cold
condition, feeder cable disconnected and splitting post
pulled in.
On the oil level dipstick there are two notches – the lower (pic.
8/1) is the minimum hydraulic oil limit level in the tank and the
upper notch (pic. 8/2) is the maximum limit.
•
Unscrew the oil level dipstick (pic. 7/A) from the
opening.
•
Wipe the oil from the dipstick with a non-felt cloth.
•
Re-screw the dipstick in the opening.
•
Unscrew the filling screw with the dipstick again and
check whether the hydraulic oil upper limit is between
both notches.
Change the oil once a year (pic. 7+8):
• Unscrew the oil drain plug (pic.7/A).
• Catch the waste oil (every model with different amount)
• Dispose the waste oil in an environment-friendly manner
• Re-screw the oil drain plug. No particles of dirt may get
in the oil tank.
• Add the hydraulic oil up to the upper notch on the dipstick
(pic. 82)
• Try the wood splitter with no load several times.
Recommended hydraulic oil: DIN ISO HLP 46
Güde Art. No. 42004
Viscosity: 46
Oil amount: (see Technical specifications)
Oil to be added only when the splitting post is in the
engaged position.
Hydraulic equipment:
Hydraulic hoses and couplings must be checked after app. 4
hours of operation whether tight and must be tightened if
necessary.
Checking the appliance whether it is working properly
The hydraulic wood splitter is supplied in a ready-to-operate
state. The following functional checks need to be carried out
every time the appliance is to be used.
•
Let both switching handles go down and the splitting knife
as low as app. 5 cm above the table
•
Lower one switching handle at a time – the splitting knife
will remain in the selected position
Installation of operating arms, wheels and
table (pic. 1+4)
Installation of operating arms - pic. 1
Put the operating arm (pic. 1/4) to the switching cradle (pic.
1/14) and secure with a screw, pad and pin from above. Now
fit the operating arm (pic. 1/4) as described on the other page.
Install the protecting casings (pic. 1/13) on both operating
arms using 2 hexagonal screws (pic. 1/3).
TIP: Lubricate the sheet clutches and nuts (pic. 1/15) with
grease from above and from below before!
Installation of wheels - pic. 4
Install the turn wheel on both sides and secure them with a pin
(A).
Table/turn table installation - pic. 1
Put the table desk in the holder (pic. 1/6) and pull the stop
lever at the same time.
To turn the turn table, press the lever down. When using the
turn table, make sure the lever is always locked.
Lift adjustment (pic. 5)
The operating power may be increased for logs smaller than
app. 50 cm and in case of more logs by shortening the
backward movement of the splitting knife.
Proceed as follows:
Put a short log on the splitter table and move the splitting knife
to app. 2 cm above the log. Switch off the splitter
(red button on the splitter and unplug the appliance). Now you
can shorten the backward movement using the attached rod
(pic. 5/B) by fixing the rod in the required height using the
adjusting screw (pic. 5/A).
Area of use
The appliance may only be used for splitting firewood. The
split material must have the following dimensions:
- Minimum diameter: 125 mm
Maximum diameter: 400 mm
- Splitting wood along fibres is allowed only.
- Risk of getting squeezed when splitting branchy wood.
- The squeezed piece of wood can be released by tapping
the log.
- Cutting the split log out is prohibited!
Electrical/hydraulic connection (pic. 1+7)
Connection to network (pic. 1/10)
Based on provisions of field professional organisations "CE",
all splitters have been fitted with an undervoltage release in
the switch. This prevents appliance self-starting in case supply
is interrupted as a result of power failure, unintentional
unplugging, defective fuse, etc. The appliance must
necessarily be switched on by pressing the green switch
button. Intentional holding or blocking the switch button with a
neutral conductor missing leads to automatic switch outage. In
such a case that may subsequently be identified, the warranty
will not apply.
