Possible malfunction
when cleaving logs:
The
log to be cleaved is not
cleaved right through,
jams on the cleaving
blade and is pulled up
during the blade’s return
movement.
In this case, proceed as
follows:
1.
Switch off the
device.
2.
Depending on the
log still to be cleaved
fix the table plate in
the middle or upper
position.
3.
Switch on the device
and continue the
splitting operation.
Never try to split two logs at once.
Never try to remove or replace the log during the splitting
process.
L
Never try to force the splitting of the log by maintaining the
pressure for several seconds. This can lead to damage to the
machine.
Position the log on the table again and repeat the splitting phase,
or put the log on one side.
How to release a jammed log?
There is a risk of knotted logs getting stuck during the splitting
process.
1.
Switch machine off and disconnect the power.
2.
Do not remove jammed logs with your hands.
3.
Carefully move the stuck log with a crowbar backwards and
forwards to loosen it. Don´t damage the splitting pillar.
Never hammer on the stuck log.
Never use a saw to cut the stuck log out of the machine.
Do not enlist the aid of a second person - this is a one-
man job.
