9. Initial operation

• Set up the block splitter on a firm, level base.
• Mark the breaking point on the stone piece with a
pencil.
• Place the stone piece (c) (Fig. H) in the centre of
the support (d) of the block splitter.
• Adjust the height of the upper blade (e) with the
setting spindle (4) such that the cutting lever with
extension bar (1) stands approx. 15° above the hori-
zontal when the upper blade lies on the stone piece.
• Check whether the position of the upper blade
matches up with the position of the denoted break-
ing point.
• Press the cutting lever with extension bar (1) with
light to medium force downward toward the stone
piece. The stone piece breaks along the breaking
point.
• Remove all breakage remnants from the compo-
nents of the block splitter.
Turning the upper and lower blades
• When changing the blades, remove the screws (f)
as needed on the upper or lower blade.
• Remove the upper or lower blade as needed.
• Turn the removed blade and replace it in the block
splitter such that an unworn blade edge forms the
new cutting edge.
• Screw all screws (f) back into place.
