What type of logs can I split?
Size of logs
Length:
Diameter:
The log diameter is a recommended guideline figure,
because:
− thin logs can be difficult to split if they contain knots or if
the fibres are too strong.
− logs with a diameter of over 400 mm can be split if the
fibres are smooth and open.
Do not try to split green logs. Dry logs are much easier to
split, and do not cause jams as often as green (damp) wood.
Operation
Two-hand operation
Never operate the log splitter with two people.
Never block the control handles (clamping claws).
1. Press the green switch on the electric motor. Wait a few
moments until the motor has reached its operating
revolutions and the required pressure has been built up in
the hydraulic pump.
Check the direction of the motor in the log splitter
with threephase motor (400 V 3~), because operation in
the wrong direction damages the oil pump.
At temperatures below –5° C, let the log splitter run
for at least 15 min. in neutral to heat up the oil.
2. Place the log on the log splitter table.
Only split the logs in the direction of the wood fibres.

3. Hold the log tight with the clamping claws.
4. Press both operating handles down simultaneously:
The splitting blade falls down and splits the log.
5. Release the two control handles, the splitting blade
returns to its initial position.
If you only release one control handle, then the
splitting blade remains where it is.

Special instructions for splitting logs:
Preparations:
The logs to be split should be cut to the maximum
dimensions. Ensure also that the logs are cut straight and
square.
Place the log properly on the log splitter, so as not to cause
any risk of stumbling or falling to the operator.
Adjusting the stroke height
In case of shorter wood pieces the efficiency can be
increased by shortening the return of the splitting cutter.
1. Place the log on the
splitting table and
press the two control
handles to bring the
splitting blade down to
approx. 3 - 5 cm
above the log.
2. Release one control
handle so that the
blade stays in this
position.
3. Switch the machine
off and disconnect the
power.

4. Release the second control handle.
5. Shorten the return path at the rod fitted to the side by
fixing the holding screw at the necessary height.
