Maintenance and care

Maintain your log splitter carefully. Clean
the machine after each use. To guarantee
the best possible and safest performance
keep your log splitter clean. Lubricate the
machine according to the instructions. Check all seals, pipes and couplings for leakage before you
start your log splitter. Keep the operating levers and the mains switch clean, dry and free of oil or
grease.
Cleaning the Log Splitter
1 Unplug the power cord.
2 Use a moist cloth to clean the plastic
parts. Do not use any cleaning agents,
solvents or pointed objects.
3 Use a soft brush to remove dust depo-
sits from the motor ventilation slots
and from moving parts at regular
intervals.
4 Apply some oil to all moving parts at
regular intervals.
Hydraulic Oil Change
IMPORTANT: The oil tank is factory-filled
with high-grade viscosity class 20 hydraulic
oil. Take waste oil to a public receiving de-
pot or observe the relevant disposal regula-
tions of your country where this log splitter
is used. Do not dispose of the oil into sewe-
rage systems, into the soil or into water
bodies of any kind.
The hydraulic system is a closed system consisting of an oil tank, an oil pump and of control
valves. Too low an oil level can damage the pump. The oil level should not be lower than 1 – 2 cm
above the lower surface of the oil tank.
Change the oil completely once per year.
 Ensure that no foreign particles will get into the oil tank.
 Properly dispose of the waste oil after each oil change.
 Allow your log splitter to run idle for a few minutes after each oil change before you place
it into operation again.
The following oil grades are suitable for this log splitter:
SHELL Tellus 22
MOBIL DTE 11
ARAL Vitam GF 22
BP Energol HLP-HM 22

 Always disconnect your power supply
source from your machine before you
begin to release any jammed logs.
 Do not allow any other persons to assist
you in releasing a jammed log.
 When releasing a jammed log, never
stick into your log splitter any means
such as foreign objects of any kind.
Please
 do not maltreat the jammed log with
your feet or with any objects either, as
a sudden release of the jammed piece
will cause the log pusher to give way
which can lead to personal injuries or
damage to your machine, respectively.
 All safety rules contained in the "General
Safety Instructions" chapter shall apply
to any of the interventions described be-
fore. The manufacturer will not be liable
to any injuries of persons or animals or
to damage to property as a result of im-
proper use of this machine or of non-
observance of the safety regulations.
