This can be dangerous and cause severe dam-
age to the machine.
Do not remove jammed logs with your hands.
Never let other people help you when removing
jammed logs.
Piled up, split wood and wood chips can be dan-
gerous. Never work in an untidy working envi-
ronment where you can slip, stumble or fall.
Using the safety arm
The safety arm can be set at different height posi-
tions, depending on the length of the wood.
Splitting
• If the outside temperature is below 5°C, let the ma-
chine run idle for about 15 minutes so the hydraulic
system reaches its operating temperature. Place
the log under the splitting blade vertically.
• m Caution: The splitting blade is very sharp.
Risk of injury!
• When you push both operating levers down, the
splitting blade goes down and splits the wood.
• Only split straight cut logs.
• Split the logs in vertical position.
• Never split in horizontal position or across.
• Wear suitable gloves and safety shoes when split-
ting wood.
• Split very misshapen logs from the edge.
• m Caution: During splitting, some logs can be
under significant tension and suddenly break.
• Force jammed logs out by applying pressure in
the splitting direction or by raising the riving
knife. In this case, only push the handles up,
do not use the return bracket. Caution: Risk
of injury
Stroke limitation
The stroke limitation can be set steplessly.
If you have logs of more than 100 cm in length, posi-
tion the connector right at the top of the rod and lock
it with the star grip.

10. Maintenance and repair

Only carry out modifications, adjustments and clean-
ing work when disconnected from the drive shaft.
Skilled craftsmen can execute smaller repairs on the
machine themselves.
All protection and safety devices must be replaced
immediately after completing repair and mainte-
nance procedures.
We recommend:
• Thoroughly clean the machine after every use.
• Splitting knife
The splitting knife is a wearing part that should be
reground or replaced by a new one, if necessary.
• Two-hand control
The combined supporting and control unit must be
kept easy-going. Occasionally grease with a few
drops of oil.
• Moving parts
Keep splitting knife guides clean from dirt, wood
chips, bark etc.
Lubricate slider rails with spray oil or grease sev-
eral times a day. Never work with dry guides.
• Checking the hydraulic oil level
The oil dipstick is located on the filling screw (K)
(Fig. 11+12). Check hydraulic connections and bolts
for tightness and wear. Retighten the bolts if neces-
sary.
