OPERATION

Never adjust the pressure relief screw! The maximum splitting force of the log
splitter is factory set and the pressure limiting screw is sealed with adhesive to ensure
that the pressure does not exceed the preset maximum. Adjustment was made by a
qualified mechanic using professional instruments. Unauthorized adjustment of the
pressure relief screw may result in serious injury or damage to the machine!

Preparatory activities

21.1.1 Greasing the splitting wedge

Apply a thin layer of grease to the splitting wedge of your wood splitter before starting work. This
will prolong the life of your tool.

21.1.2 18.1.2 Bleeding the hydraulic system

Never forget to loosen the breather screw before starting to operate the log splitter!
Otherwise, the air in the system will be released and compressed again and again,
which will destroy the seals of the hydraulic circuit and make the log splitter
unusable.
To bleed the hydraulic system, loosen the bleed screw a few turns so that the air can
flow gently into and out of the oil tank.
The air flow through the oil tank should be visible during operation.
Important: Tighten the air-vent screw before each transport to prevent oil leakage.
