Log splitter
Warning!
Never lay the log on the splitter in trans-
verse direction.
Never force the splitting of a log by
sustaining the hydraulic pressure over
several seconds.
Operation
1. With one hand, press the green switch on
button of the electric motor (Illus. 7-2) and
hold it pressed.
2. After the motor has attained its end speed,
press the operating lever with the other hand
(Illus. 7-1) fully downwards. The log pusher
will press the log against the splitting wedge.
The log will be split.
3. By releasing the green switch-on button or
the operating lever, the log pusher moves
back into its end position.
Transportation
Caution!
Pull out the unit plug and tighten the vent
screw prior to every change of location.
Warning!
Do not transport the log splitter on the
cylinder fastening.
1. Hold the log splitter on the transport bracket
to transport it.

Maintenance and care

Caution!
Switch off the log splitter and disconnect
from the mains power supply prior to
each working operation with the log
splitter. Repairs to the log splitter should
only be realised by a specialist firm or
workshop.
Caring for the log splitter
Cleaning the guide rail
1. Clean the guide rail of the log pusher regu-
larly, especially when splitting wood that is
rich in resin.

Maintenance work

Sharpening the splitting wedge
1. The splitting wedge should be sharpened
with a suitable file if necessary.
Checking the hydraulic oil filling level
Note:
Always check the hydraulic oil level
when the log pusher is moved inwards.
The log splitter should be in a vertical
position.
Caution!
To erect and hold the log splitter a
second person is required.
1. Unscrew and remove the oil inspection rod
and wipe with a clean, lint-free cloth.
2. Insert the oil inspection rod (do not screw it
in) and pull out again. The oil level should be
between the markings "min" and "max" (see
Illus. 11). Top up the hydraulic oil if neces-
sary.
3. Check the seal (Illus. 11-1) for damage and
replace if necessary.
4. Screw in the oil inspection rod and tighten it
slightly, in order to avoid damage to the
threads of the cylinder head.
Warning!
Refill only with viscosity class HLP 46
hydraulic oil.
An oil change is not necessary.
