Check
that the machine is completely and correctly
assembled.
Before using the shredder
, make sure each time that
−
there are no faulty connections (tears, cuts, etc.)
−
there are no damage at the machine
−
all screws are tight
−
check the hydraulic system for any possible leaks
L
Mains connection
Compare the voltage given on the machine model plate
e.g. 230 V with the mains voltage and connect the machine
to the relevant and properly earthed plug.
Only use
connection cables
with sufficient diameters.
Connect the machine via a 30 mA fault current safety
switch.
L
Fuse protection: 16 A

Operating pushbutton
Operating
pushbutton
Switching on
Push the green button. The motor is running as long as the
green button remains pushed.
Switching off
Stop pushing the green button.
Do not use any device where the operating pushbutton
does not work properly. Repair or replace damaged
pushbuttons immediately.
L
Hydraulics
Never operate the machine in the event of any possible
danger from hydraulic fluid.
Ensure that the machine and working area are clean and
free of oil.
Danger of slippage or fire!
Check the hydraulic reservoir regularly to ensure that it
contains enough hydraulic oil (see “Care and
maintenance”)

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The log splitter may only be operated by a single person.
The machine may only be operated by persons over the
age of 18 years, and who have read and understood these
operating instructions.
Wear protective equipment (safety goggles/mask, gloves,
safety shoes) to protect yourself from possible injury.
Never try to split logs containing nails, wire or other similar
objects.
Already split wood and wood chips create a dangerous
working area. The operator may stumble, slip or fall.
Always keep the working area neat and tidy.
Never place the hands on or near any moving parts of the
machine when it is switched on. Maintain a safe distance
from the log, the ram and the wedge in order to protect
your hands from injury.
Split only timber which corresponds to the maximal length
to be worked with.
What type of logs can I split?
Size of logs
ASP 4-370
ASP 5-520 N
Length
max. 370 mm
max. 520 mm
Diameter
50 – 250 mm
The log diameter is a recommended guideline figure, because:
−
thin logs can be difficult to split if they contain knots or if
the fibres are too strong.
−
logs with a diameter of over 250 mm can be split if the
fibres are smooth and open.
Do not try to split green logs. Dry logs are much easier to split,
and do not cause jams as often as green (damp) wood.
Operation
Two-hand operation
1.
Press the operating pushbutton on the electric motor. Wait
a few moments until the motor has reached its operating
revolutions and the required pressure has been built up in
the hydraulic pump – Fig. 5.
2.
Press the operating lever down simultaneously – Fig. 6.
Î
The log ram pushes the log against the splitting
wedge, and the log will be split.
3.
Release the operating lever as well as the operating
pushbutton. The log ram will now return to its original
starting position – Fig. 7.
