the locking lever down as shown in Fig. 10 and swing
the trunk table away to the left (Fig. 11). In addition,
you can also limit the lifting height of the splitter. To
do so, turn the machine off and slacken the star
screw (Fig. 8/Item 12) by 2-3 turns, then raise the limit
bar to the required height and affix in position by
tightening the star screw (Fig. 8/Item 12).
4.6. Checking the level of the hydraulic oil
Remove the oil filler/gauge screw (Fig. 12/Item 22).
Clean the oil dipstick at the oil filler screw and check
the oil level by inserting the dipstick into the opening
in the oil filler screw. The oil level must be between
the two marks L and H on the oil dipstick (Fig. 13). To
top up or change the oil, please refer to section 10.

6. Recommended size of the trunks for
splitting
Trunk holding capacity:
120-400 mm (diameter) x 150-1350 mm (length)
1.
The trunk diameters given above are indicative
only.
Thin pieces of wood can be very difficult to split if
they contain knot holes or have very tough fibers.
On the other hand, it may be possible to split
thicker pieces of wood if they have smooth and
loose fibers.
2.
Never attempt to force the wood splitter to split
excessively hard pieces of wood under cylinder
pressure for more than 5 seconds. Overheated
oil under pressure may cause damage to the
machine. It is very important that you stop the
machine if the wood splitter fails to split the wood
at the first attempt. Then turn the trunk through
90° and attempt to split it again. If the wood still
fails to split this means that it is too hard for the
capacity of the machine and must be removed to
avoid damaging the wood splitter.
7. Operation
1.
Plan your work area.
To work in safety and
save yourself a lot of effort, plan your work area
in advance. Position the trunks where they are
easy to reach. Allocate an area for stacking the
split wood or load it onto a wheelbarrow or other
means of transportation positioned to one side.
2.
Prepare the trunks for splitting.
This splitter
can hold trunks with a maximum length of 1350
mm and a maximum diameter of 400 mm. If you
cut branches or large logs, never cut any lengths
which exceed those specified. Never attempt to
split fresh trunks. Dried timber which has been in
storage is much easier to split than fresh (moist)
wood and will not stick so often.
3.
Lay out the power cable.
Make sure that you
have a suitable socket outlet available and, if
necessary, a suitable extension cable.
4.
Stand the splitter securely in an upright
position.
The wood splitter may only be placed
on a firm, flat surface. We recommend that you
use a concrete or paved surface and that you
chock the wheels. The wood splitter may only be
operated at ground level. Do not place any
material under the wood splitter to adjust the
height of the machine or to attempt to improve its
stability. If the wood splitter is on an angle and/or
wobbly, move it to a different location. Do not
operate the machine on soft surfaces such as a
lawn or gravel since the machine could sink or tip
over during operation.
5.
Ventilating.
The oil filler screw (Fig. 12/Item 22)
must always be undone during operation to
ensure that the machine operates correctly.
Unscrew the oil filler screw by 8-10 turns before
you start the machine and then tighten it again
after using the wood splitter.
6.
Place the trunk in the wood splitter.
Only
wood that has flat edges can be split in the
machine. Position the trunk you wish to split
vertically and centrally on the trunk support so
that the splitter is over the center of the trunk.
Adjust the trunk holding plates using the knurled
screws so that the trunk can be held perfectly.
Never attempt to split a piece of wood that is not
secure, to split it at an angle or to split wood with
