Proceed as follows to modify the lift-height of the splitting wedge:
Move the splitting wedge to the desired height. Pressing on a control
arm causes the splitting column to remain at the desired height. Now
shut off the motor. The splitting column remains at the desired height.
Now loosen the wing bolt (7) at the handle (behind the splitting co-
lumn) and pull the control rod (8) out as far as possible. Use the wing
bolt (7) to clamp the control rod (8) at the desired height, and then
tighten the wing bolt firmly.
Now the log splitter can be switched on again. Now the splitting
wedge cannot extend to its maximum length anymore, because it is
limited by the control rod (8).
To reset the maximum splitting length, it is necessary to loosen the
wing bolt (7). Now the splitting wedge can extend to its maximum
length again. After that tighten the wing bolt (7) firmly again.

5.6 Remarks concerning safety
The log splitter must be set up on a firm and even surface. The
work site must be kept free of wood scraps and obstacles (trip-
ping hazards). Grit/sand is to be strewn on slippery and slick
areas. Never reach into the splitting area when the splitting
wedge moves.
5.7 Adjusting the splitting length
When the log splitter leaves the factory, it is set to its maximum split-
ting length. When the motor is switched on, the splitting wedge travels
automatically to its maximum height.
The lift can be limited in cases where it is necessary to split wood
whose height is clearly below the maximum lift of the log split-
ter. The lift height can be adjusted to any level..
