Place the machine on a flat surface area (worktable) at a height of ca 60-75 cm.
Safety Instructions for the First Putting in Operation
Functioning of the splitting machine has to be checked prior to getting down to the work.
The thermal cut out will switch on motor overloading and switch the machine off. If that is the case, let the
machine cool down for 15 minutes and start again after the time.
Operation
Fig. 7
•
Prior to starting the job, release the bleed screw
(2-3 turns).
Remember to tighten the screw for
transportation.
Fig. 8
•
Check the oil level in the machine before every
use.
•
Place the machine with the edge directing up
•
Release the screw on the oil level indicator with a
spanner, pull it out and read the oil level.
•
The oil level should be between the two marks on
the indicator
Dimensions of Material to be Split
The stock diameter is shown as an example. It may be difficult to
cleave/split a small stock, if it is knaggy. Notice: If a stock is not to
be chopped up immediately, it is important that the cleaving
pressure is not applied for too long. That would cause fast
overheating of the oil under pressure and consequent damages to
the pump.
Operator Safety Instructions
•
Do not use the machine until you have read the instruction manual carefully.
•
Observe any safety instructions included In the manual.
•
Be responsible to the others
•
The wood should be split along the grain only.
•
There is a risk of jamming the knaggy material while being split. Remember that the wood is under
considerable pressure when being taken out and may nip your finger in the gap.
