Electric/hydraulic connection (pic. 1+6+7)
Plugging (Pic. 1/10)
All splitters are fitted with undervoltage release in the switch in
accordance with provisions of branch professional
organisations “CE“, etc. The release prevents automatic
starting of the appliance in case supply is interrupted as a
result of power failure, unintentional unplugging, defective
fuse, etc. The appliance must unconditionally be switched on
again by pressing the green switching button.
Wilful holding or blocking of the switching button with no
directly earthed conductor automatically leads to switch failure.
In this case that can subsequently be identified the guarantee
expires.
Hydraulic equipment
Tightness needs to be checked at hydraulic hoses and
couplings after app. 4 running hours and tighting must be
provided if necessary.
Only at 400 V appliances: It is necessary to be particular
about the running direction of the engine (see the arrow
on the engine) as running in wrong running direction can
damage the oil pump. In such a case, all claims arising
from the guarantee expire. If necessary, have the running
direction changed by reversal of polarity of the plug. See
pic. 6!
Hydraulic oil/tank
Common hydraulic oil (e.g. HLP 46 or oil of different producer
of identical viscosity) can be filled in all splitters. Oil change is
not necessary.
Vent the tank before each operation by screwing the filling
screw out and in (pic. 7/A).
Operation
Attention: Make sure wood is cut at right angle, if
possible, and seated closely on the splitting table. Cross-
cut or extremely branchy wood can slide or bend the
service arms.
Always put wood on surfaces (tables) designated for
this purpose (never on the frame). That could damage the
splitter.
1. Start the engine by pressing the green switching button.
Attention: Be particular about the running direction of
the engine!
2. Keep the feeder cable as short as possible at 230
V models and select as big cross section as possible.
3. When the temperature is low, let the splitter run idle
for app. 15 minutes so that oil warms up to
corresponding temperature.
4. Put the split material on the table and hold it using
clamping plates on the lever.
5. Splitting starts by pressing both levers down (as soon as
the splitting knife enters wood tip the lever slightly out
while pressing it down. This will prevent holding sheets
(arms) from bending).
6. Lift at least one lever after you have finished splitting – the
splitter pillar will automatically go up.
It is strictly prohibited to operate the wood splitter in
two persons with one holding wood and the other one
pressing on the clamping plates.
Transport instructions
Transport
All wood splitters are fitted with big wheels. Grasp the handle
on the splitting pillar with one hand and handle above the
engine with the other hand and slightly tilt the splitter to you for
transport purposes. The splitter can effortlessly be moved in
this position.
To prevent hydraulic oil leakage, never transport the
splitter laid down.
Always let the splitting knife go absolutely down for
transport.
Residual risks and protective measures
Warning!!!
Taking out of operation, any change, blocking,
disassembly, changeover or assembly of all parts on
safety and protective equipment of the appliance is strictly
prohibited and can have serious consequences, i.e. life
threatening injuries if not observed.
The producer cannot be held liable for material damages
or injuries caused as a result of such negligence.
All guarantee claims towards the producer immediately
expire at each of the above-mentioned negligence.
The splitter can only be operated by one person. Remove
wood remnants that could block or negatively influence
the safety and service elements near the splitter and
workplace during operation.
