4.2 - Opening the cylinder
Before using the log splitter, the cylinder must be lifted as follows:
•
Remove the cylinder check pins from the transport position (fig.6d, page 3) and put them in the appropriate places on the two sides of the cylinder
(fig.6c)
•
Position a piece of wood under the wedge, on the work surface (A in fig.5, page 2)
•
Activate both the control levers (B in fig.5, page 2) downwards: the cylinder will rise and the wedge will remain resting on the base.
•
Release the right lever (B in fig.6a), insert the cylinder check pins in the appropriate holes and fix them with the "R" shaped security pin (C in fig.6a)
•
Release also the left lever (A in fig.6a), therefore activate both the control levers upwards, until they clamp. The wedge will now rise in the upper
position, ready to start working
•
At the end of the stroke the stopping device (4 in fig.1, page 2) bring automatically the levers in the neutral position.
WARNING
NEVER MOVE THE LOG SPLITTER WHEN THE CYLINDER IS LIFTED. THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT LIABLE FOR INJURY TO PERSONS,
ANIMALS OR OTHER THINGS CAUSED BY TRANSPORTING THE LOG SPLITTER WITH THE CYLINDER LIFTED.
4.3 - Lighting
Lighting must be provided in the entire work area of the log splitter to ensure perfect visibility when operating the machine and during maintenance and
adjustments. Even when working outdoors, there must be sufficient light to work safely. Working at times when insufficient light may result in poor
visibility of the machine and its components (dawn, dusk, night) is forbidden.

Do not use the machine outdoor when it is raining or snowing.
When not in use, store the machine where it is protected from atmospheric agents.
