Adjust the wedge ram stroke
To set the return stroke position of the cylinder,
proceed as follows:
(1) Move the splitting wedge to the desired
position. The upper position of the splitting wedge
should be about 3~5cm above the logs to be split.
(2) Release a control lever or switch off the motor.
(3) Loosen the adjusting screw (A). Lift the
adjusting rod (B) until the adjusting rod (B) is
stopped by the spring inside. Tighten the
adjusting screw (A).
(4) Release both control levers or switch on the
motor.
(5) Check the upper position of the splitting
wedge.
16.2.2
Positioning the log
Place the log vertically and flat on the support table. Make sure that the splitting wedge and the support
table touch the log at right angles at the ends. Never try to split a log at an angle.
16.2.3
Adjusting the log holder
Adjust the log holders (A) according to the
diameter of the log to obtain the most
comfortable angle of the control lever
16.2.4
Splitting
Hold the log with clamps.
Press the levers down to start splitting.
Releasing one of the two levers stops the
movement of the splitting wedge.
Release both levers to move the splitting wedge
back to the upper position.
