WARNING!
Danger of injury if the
appliance tips over
A tipping appliance can re-
sult in serious injury and
damage to the appliance.
■
Ensure that the appli-
ance cannot tip over.
1. Stand the log splitter horizontally on a level,
firm surface. Do not place the log cutter on
the mains cable!
Note: Do not place any material under the
log splitter to change the height of the appli-
ance or to try to increase its stability. If the
log splitter is not level and/or is unstable, it
must be moved to another location. Opera-
tion on soft ground such as lawns or gravel is
not permitted as the appliance could sink in
and/or tip over during operation.
2. Lay the mains cable in such a way that it can-
not be kinked, crushed or damaged in any
other way.
3. Plug the mains cable into plug socket (01/6)
of the appliance and then connect the mains
cable to the mains power supply.
Note: During disconnection, first disconnect
the mains cable from the mains power sup-
ply.
6.2 Check direction of rotation of motor
[LSV 8] (11)
IMPORTANT!
Danger of damage to the
hydraulic pump
The hydraulic pump will be
damaged if the motor ro-
tates in the wrong direc-
tion.
■
Switch off the log splitter
again immediately if the
motor rotates in the
wrong direction or the
splitting wedge does not
move upwards after
switching on.
■
Reverse the phases of
the mains voltage.
1. At the same time:
■
Press green button (11/1) and then red
button (11/2) to allow the motor to run
briefly.
■
Observe the direction of rotation of the
motor through ventilation slots (11/3).
The direction of rotation must correspond
to the arrow (11/4) on the motor.
2. If the direction of rotation does not corre-
spond: see chapter 6.3 "Reversing phases of
the mains voltage [LSV 8] (12)", page 41 .
6.3 Reversing phases of the mains voltage
[LSV 8] (12)
1. Switch off the log splitter immediately and un-
plug the mains cable.
2. Insert a flat-tip screwdriver into phase invert-
er (12/1) in mains plug socket (12/2) of the
log splitter.
3. Press in the phase inverter and turn by 180°.
4. Plug in the mains cable.
5. Switch on the log splitter and check the direc-
tion of rotation of the motor again. The split-
ting wedge must move upwards.
