repair. When servicing, use only identical replacement
parts.

WARNING
Hydraulic oil at high pressure is dangerous. Never turn
on the machine if oil is leaking.
■ Disconnect the product from the power source
before cleaning, making adjustments, or conducting
maintenance work on the product.
■ Before each use, check the product for oil leaks and
other damage. Do not use the log splitter until oil leak or
damage has been professionally repaired.
■ Keep the product clean, particularly in the splitting area
and around the motor to ensure adequate ventilation.
Use a soft brush for cleaning.
■ Before each use, check the oil level and fill if necessary
using hydraulic oil. Follow the procedure shown in the
Getting started section.
■ The manufacturer recommends to change the hydraulic
oil every 150 hours of use, or if the oil appears dirty or
contaminated while checking the oil level.
■ To improve efficiency, regularly check that the fixed
wedge is not damaged. You may file the edge of the
fixed wedge as shown in the graphical maintenance
section of this manual. If the fixed wedge is too badly
damaged, bring the product to an authorised service
centre for a replacement fixed wedge.
