6 OPERATION
WARNING! Risk of injury if operated by
more than one person. Operation of the appli-
ance by two or more persons can result in seri-
ous injuries.
■
Operate the appliance only alone and never
reach into the splitting area during splitting.
■
Keep other persons away and in particular
prevent them from reaching into the log that
is currently being split.
WARNING! Risk of injury from shattering
log. Stored hardwood, irregular branches, irregu-
lar logs and logs with a large number of knots
tend to shatter during splitting. Flying pieces of
wood can then cause serious injuries.
■
Split only straight logs with a perpendicular
and straight cutting surface.
■
Wear the prescribed protective clothing at all
times.
IMPORTANT! Damage due to incorrect use.
The appliance can be damaged or destroyed.
■
Always place the log longitudinally and never
transversely into the log splitter.
■
Never try to force a log to split by maintaining
the hydraulic pressure.
6.1 Splitting a log (32 – 34)
■
Operate the log splitter only as illustrated in
figure (32).
■
Never place the log at an angle on the log
splitter (33).
■
Place only straight logs with a perpendicular
and straight cutting surface on the log splitter
(34).
CAUTION! Untidy working areas create a
risk of injury. Untidiness and logs lying around
pose a risk of tripping and slipping in the working
area.
■
Store the logs to be split in a tidy pile.
■
Immediately remove split logs and wood
chips from the working area.
1. Place the log lengthwise onto the log splitter
in such a way that the log is held by the log
guide.
2. With one hand, press and hold the ON button
(32/1) of the electric motor.
3. When the motor has reached its operating
speed, press control lever (32/2) completely
down with your other hand.
■
The log pusher pushes the log against
the splitting wedge. The log is split.
4. When the ON button and control lever are re-
leased, the log pusher moves back into its
starting position.
6.2 Removing a jammed log (35, 36)
CAUTION! Risk of injury from a jammed
log flying out. If a jammed log flies out of the ap-
pliance, injuries can be caused and the appliance
may be damaged.
■
Never try to free a jammed log using tools.
1. Take both hands away from the ON button
and control lever.
2. Allow the log pusher to come to a complete
standstill.
3. Push (35/a) a wooden wedge (35/1) under
the jammed log (35/2). Caution: Never try to
drive out the jammed log (36)!
4. Push the wooden wedge completely under
the jammed log using the log pusher.
5. If necessary, repeat with a larger wooden
wedge until the log is freed.
