Appliance-specific safety instructions
• Be sure to know that wood is a natural raw material
and may therefore get uncontrolled when being split
(pieces of wood thrown away suddenly).
• It is necessary to keep your hands out of the front of
the wood or, to be more specific, out of the area with
the splitting knife.
•
Fronts of the split wood must be rectangular if possible
to make sure the wood on the basic table is steady
and could not slide down.
•
The safety equipment on the appliance must not be
removed or put out of operation.
•
Remove any wood, wood waste and bark from the
place of appliance operation.
• Check whether the two-handed operation works
properly before putting the appliance into operation.
•
Wear closefitting clothing. Put any jewel, ring and
wristwatch aside.
• Wear protective clothing.
•
Caution when working: Risk of injury of fingers and
hands posed by the splitting tool.
•
All protective equipment and covers must be fitted
and work properly when the appliance is being
operated.
•
Tools must only be replaced, appliance adjusted,
cleaned, serviced and troubles removed when the
engine is off. Unplug the appliance!
•
All protective and safety equipment must be
immediately refitted after repairs and servicing works
are finished.
•
Before using the wood splitter, put it on a level and
non-slip working area. Make sure you can move freely.
• The wood splitter must never be used when raining.
•
The system voltage must correspond to details on the
appliance type label.
• When a cable drum is used, unwind the cable to the
full extent to prevent it from heating.
•
When working outdoors, the outlet must be fitted with a
safety switch against stray current.
• The processed piece of wood must always be put
steadily on the appliance surface to prevent it from
shifting.

Only one piece of wood to be split at all times.

Do not split wood including undesirable items.
Use as designated
The wood splitter has only been designed to split firewood
in dimensions given in the technical specifications; upright,
in the fibres direction.
Any other use will be considered a use in conflict with the
designation. The manufacturer will not be liable for any
consequential damage – the risk is borne by the user.
Area of use
The appliance may only be used to split wood. The split
material must have the following dimensions:
- Minimum diameter: 120 mm
Maximum diameter: 400 mm
- Splitting wood along the fibre is only allowed.
- If a branchy wood is split, there is a risk of getting
jammed when splitting.
- A jammed piece of wood is released by tapping at the
wood.
- Cutting the split wood out is not allowed!
Split wood length adjusting
Depending on the splitter type, various wood lengths may
be split:
Fitting of operating arms, wheels, splitting cross and
table (pic. 3, 4, 8, 9)
Fitting the operating arms (pic. 3)
Insert the operating arm in the switching rocker (C) and
screw it using the socket-head screw (D), washer (E) and
lock nut. Tighten the lock nut so that the operating arm can
still be moved. Now connect the operating arm to the right
as described. Connect the protective arches (F) to both
operating arms using 2 cross screws (G).
TIP: Before that, lubricate the metal couplings with fat
from above and from below!
Fitting the wheels (pic. 4)
Insert the wheel axis in both holes on the oil tank.
Put the M6 socket-head screw (B) through the wheel axis
and fasten it to the coupling (C) using the lock nut. Then fit
the travelling wheels on both sides and secure them with
the cotter (D). Bend the cotter slightly to prevent it from
falling out.
Fitting the worktable (pic. 8/9)
There are three table presetting options for the wood
splitter. Various wood lengths may be split due to the
adjustable table position.
1. Make sure the hooks securing the table on the post
are directed upwards.
2. Insert the table in one of the three fixtures (pic. 9/A).
3. Fix the table by letting the hook (pic. 8/B) on the
worktable guide snap in on both sides.
Lift adjusting (pic. 5)
With logs smaller than app. 50 cm and in case of more
logs the working output can be increased by shortening the
backward movement of the splitting knife.
Proceed as follows:
Put a short log on the splitter table and move the splitting
knife as low as 2 cm above the log. Switch the splitter off
(red button on the switch and unplug the appliance). Now
you can shorten the backward movement using the
attached rod (pic. 5/B) by fixing the rod in the required
height using the adjusting screw (pic. A./5).
