ASSEMBLY AND PREPARATION:
Unpacking (Fig. 8).
Unpacking this log splitter requires at least two persons. To place the log splitter on the floor, proceed step by step as described below.
Ensure that block (B) supports the log splitter box (A) at a point above its middle. The other end of block (B) should rest
on a fixed object such as a wall. Fasten wedge (C) under the lifted box to prevent the latter from slipping off. After that, you can remove
the packing carton from the log splitter.

Assembly (Fig. 9)
1. Pull out spring (A) to release lock (B). Apply a thin film of grease to the points marked in the sketch below. Then insert the le-
ver and make sure that it has reached its intended end position (C). Now, latch the lever by lock (B) and spring (A). Perform
the same procedure for the other lever.
2. You can set three different table positions to be able to split logs of various lengths. Insert the table into one of the three
fixtures (E) provided for this purpose and turn hooks (D) by 90° lock it on either side.

STARTUP
Please follow the instructions given below before getting started:
• The machine must be placed so as to be stable and secured against skidding. Provide sufficient room around your log splitter
so that you can safely operate it.
• Ensure that no unauthorized persons (especially children) can approach your working area.
• Prior to startup, all guards and safety devices must have been properly attached. Check whether all screws, bolts, hydraulic
couplings and pipe clamps have been properly tightened. Always make sure before each starting that the hydraulic oil level
is sufficient.
• This machine must never be used when it is in an inoperable condition or needs some maintenance. Before using this log
splitter, get familiar with its controls and safety elements and with how they work.
• Make sure that the data indicated on the type label conform with your mains data before you connect your log splitter.
Size of Logs (Fig. 3)
1. Choose your workplace in consideration of your safety regulations. Keep your logs to be split ready to hand. Remove the split
logs from the working area.
2. Before you split your logs, sort out those logs which are longer than 104 cm. If you want to split logs which are very big in
diameter it is recommended that they should not exceed a maximum length of 100 cm. You can adjust three different table
heights (Fig. 3): 52 cm, 78 cm and 104 cm. Always choose the suitable height for the respective log length. Always use the
locking device to secure the table at the desired position.
3. Do not run this log splitter under full load for more than 5 seconds.
