Splitting knife goes down
to approx. 10 cm above
the table.
Splitting knife stops in the
desired position.
Splitting knife returns to
upper position.
For work at temperatures less than 5°C the machine
should be allowed to idle for around 15 minutes so that
the hydraulic oil can warm up.
Venting, Fig. 8
Before working with the log splitter, vent the hydraulic
system.
Release the venting cap A 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.
Splitting spar
Before use, the spar of the splitter must be slightly
greased. Repeat this procedure every five operating
hours. Slightly apply grease of oil spray. The spar may
never run dry.

Press the green button for switching on.
Press the red button for switching off.
Note: Check the function of the ON/OFF unit before
every use by switching on and off once.
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.
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.
