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.
