If the hydraulic system is not vented, the trapped
air will damage the sealing and thus cause perma-
nent damage to the wood splitter.
Power Supply Connection

Compare the voltage on the machine‘s type label
with the voltage of the power supply network. Co-
nnect the machine only to the correct voltage using
a properly installed socket in accordance with the
applicable regulations.
•
Use only a cable with a sufficient cross-section.
•
The machine connection must be performed through
an overcurrent circuit breaker with a release current
of 30 mA.
Protection:
400 V 3~ > 16 A slow
Switching On/Off
Before any use of the machine, first always check
the switching system functionality (switching it on
and off).

Make sure the motor is running in the correct
direction (see the arrow on the motor), otherwise,
the oil pump will be damaged.
f
Switch on the motor. The splitting wedge will travel up
to the top position.
f
If the splitting wedge already is in the top position:
Grab both operating handles and push them down,
the splitting wedge will travel down.
f
If the splitting wedge does not move once the motor
has been started, switch off the motor and change the
direction of its rotation.
To change the direction of rota-
tion, insert and slightly press a
screwdriver into the correspon-
ding slot in the socket flange
and turn it to the left or right.
The correct direction of rotation
will thus be set.
Hydraulics

Never start the machine if there is any risk of danger
caused by hydraulic oil.
•
Make sure the machine and work area is clean and
free of oil spills.
•
Danger of slipping and fire.
•
Regularly check the level of hydraulic oil in the tank
(see chapter Maintenance and Care).

The wood splitter can only be operated by one per-
son.
•
The wood splitter can only be operated by persons
above 18 years of age who have been thoroughly
acquainted with this manual and all the safety in-
structions.
•
Always wear protective goggles, ear protectors, sa-
fety shoes, protective gloves and suitable clothes
when working with the machine.
•
Never split logs containing foreign objects (e.g., me-
tal objects).
•
Split logs make the work area dangerous. Danger of
tripping, slipping or falling. Keep the work area tidy.

Never place your hands in areas close to the moving
parts of the machine. Keep a safe distance from the
log, movable table and splitting wedge.
•
Never split logs longer than the max. allowed length

Before starting log splitting, always check the co-
lumn for proper lubrication to ensure its free retrac-
