Available as accessories* for our log splitters are a cross splitter and
a splitting wedge expander (as additional purchases).
The cross splitter splits the firewood into 4 parts in one operation. The
splitting wedge expander allows improved and faster splitting of the
wood.
Both accessory parts are simply slid onto the splitting wedge and
clamped in place with a star-shaped knob (M12).
When mounting the cross splitter, ensure that the inclined side of the
crosswise blade is facing the operator.
Splitting wedge expander: Item No. 90303
Cross splitter: Item No. 90302
Ensure that the cross splitter and the splitting wedge expan-
der are fully slid onto the splitting wedge and secured in place
with the screw.
If the cross splitter or the splitting wedge expander are not complete-
ly slid onto the splitting wedge, they can slip forward during operation
and injure the person operating the machine. It is also possible that
the machine becomes damaged.
If possible, the cross splitter should not be used for hardwood (fruit
trees, beech), because this kind of wood presents the cross splitter
with much more resistance and is more likely to trigger the pressure
relief valve in the hydraulic system and cause the wood to jam.
The diameter of the wood must be a minimum of 200 mm if the
cross splitter is used, otherwise the log splitter could be dama-
ged. Moreover, the wood clamps must be secured in the positi-
on furthest to the back using a cotter pin.
* Accessory parts are not included in the basic equipment and are available at
additional cost.
