Checking the oil level
The hydraulic unit is a closed system with oil tank, oil
pump and control valve. Check the oil level regularly
before every use. Too low an oil level can damage
the oil pump. The level of oil must be checked when
the riving knife is pulled back. If the oil level is at the
lower notch, then the oil level is at a minimum. Should
this be the case, oil must be immediately added. The
upper notch indicates the maximum oil level. The ma-
chine must be on level ground. Screw in the oil dip-
stick fully, to measure the oil level.
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.
Venting (Fig. 13)
Before working with the log splitter, vent the hydraulic
system.
• Release the venting cap (8) by a few revolutions so
the air can escape from the oil tank.
• Leave the cap open during the operation.
• Before you move the log splitter, close the cap
again in order not to lose any oil.
If the hydraulic system is not vented, the enclosed air
will damage the gaskets and with it the complete log
splitter.

Restarting safety in case of current interruption
(no-volt release).
In case of current failure, inadvertent pulling of the
plug, or a defective fuse, the machine is switched off
automatically. For switching on again, press anew the
green button of the switch unit.
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.
End of work
• Move the splitting knife to the lower position.
• Release one operating arm.
• Switch the machine off and pull the power plug.
• Close the venting cap.
• Observe the general maintenance instructions.

Electrical connection

The electrical motor installed is connected and ready
for operation. The connection complies with the ap-
plicable VDE and DIN provisions.
The customer's mains connection as well as the ex-
tension cable used must also comply with these reg-
ulations.
Damaged electrical connection cable
The insulation on electrical connection cables is of-
ten damaged.
This may have the following causes:
• Passage points, where connection cables are
passed through windows or doors.
• Kinks where the connection cable has been im-
properly fastened or routed.
• Places where the connection cables have been cut
due to being driven over.
• Insulation damage due to being ripped out of the
wall outlet.
• Cracks due to the insulation ageing.
Such damaged electrical connection cables must not
be used and are life-threatening due to the insula-
tion damage.
Check the electrical connection cables for damage
regularly. Make sure that the connection cable does
not hang on the power network during the inspection.
Electrical connection cables must comply with the
applicable VDE and DIN provisions. Only use con-
nection cables with the marking „H07RN".
