the oil tank cap is closed.
2.11 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 mainten-
ance. 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 con-
nect your log splitter.
Size of Logs
(Fig. 3)
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.
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 posi-
tion.
Do not run this log splitter under full load for more than 5 seconds.

If you use a crane to handle the log
splitter use a suitable lifting rope to
sling the housing and hoist the machine
carefully. never hang the crane hook
into the transport handle.

Never try to split fresh wood.
dry wood is much easier to split than
fresh, wet logs. in addition, it does not
tend to get jammed during splitting so
frequently.
