angled edges. This can result in injury to the user
and damage to the machine.
7.
Two-hand operation.
Open the ON/OFF switch
by pressing the locking button (Fig. 14/Item A)
and lifting up the cover and then switching on the
wood splitter with the green switch (Fig. 14/Item
I).
Important!
Check whether the motor turns in the
direction of rotation shown embossed in the motor
housing (Fig. 1/Item 9). If this should not be the case,
switch off the machine immediately and change the
direction of rotation by turning the phase converter
through 180° (Fig. 15/Item 25). Then repeat the
above check.
Move the cover over the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 14)
during operation to ensure that the Emergency Stop
function is active. Wait a few seconds whilst the
electric motor gets up to speed and the required
pressure builds up in the hydraulic pump. The
machine is ready for use when the splitter is fully
extended.
Proceed as follows to split the trunk
Press the control levers together so that the
trunk you wish to split is held secured by the
trunk holding plates (Fig. 16)
Now push the two control levers down at the
same time (Fig. 16). The splitter moves
downwards and presses the wood you wish to
split against the trunk support, splitting it as it
does so. When the trunk has been split, release
the control levers and the splitter will move
upwards again.
Important!
Continue to hold the split wood with the
trunk holding plates. It may be that long pieces of
wood will not be split completely and will therefore
move upwards with the splitter. These pieces of wood
must therefore be split in several stages. You can
start, for example, with the trunk table (Fig. 4.5)
folded away, continue by splitting the wood with the
trunk table folded out and then finish splitting the
wood with the trunk support fitted (see 4.4).
Switch off the machine at the red OFF switch (Fig. 14
/ Item 0) after completing the work or to adjust the
trunk support.
Important!
If the trunk fails to split immediately, never
attempt to force it to split by maintaining the
pressure for more than a few seconds. This may
damage the machine. It is far more advisable to
try and reposition the trunk on the splitter or to
remove the trunk altogether and place it to one
side.
8.
Stack while you are working
. By doing this you
will make sure that you have a safe area in which
to work because you will keep it clear of
obstacles and prevent any risk of tripping over or
of the power cable becoming damaged.
9.
Do not forget to retighten the ventilation
screw (Fig. 13/Item 22) when you have
finished your splitting work.
Releasing a jammed trunk
1.
Retract the splitter fully.
2.
Position a wedge-shaped piece of wood on the
trunk support.
3.
Move the splitter downwards. The jammed trunk
will be pushed forward by the wedge-shaped
piece of wood.
4.
Repeat this process with larger and larger
wedges until the jammed is released.
Important!
Never hammer against the stuck trunk or place
your hands anywhere near the trunk when trying
to release it.
NEVER ASK ANYONE ELSE TO HELP WHEN
TRYING TO RELEASE A TRUNK WHICH HAS
BECOME STUCK.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO RELEASE THE TRUNK
BY HITTING IT WITH A TOOL.
8. Transport and storage
Transport
1. Move the splitter as far downwards as possible
2. Switch off the wood splitter and disconnect the
mains lead
3.
Fold the hand guards together and secure with
the supplied expander (Fig. 2/Item 20).
4. Transport the wood splitter using the transport
handle in the required position (Fig. 17)
Important.
The wood splitter may only be
transported in an upright position. If it is transported
in a horizontal position, the hydraulic oil must be
drained (see section 10)
Storage
Only store the wood splitter in dry rooms and in
an upright position
Move the splitter as far downwards as possible
for storage
