machine or may launch the log and
cause accident.
1.
Release both controls.
2.
After the log pusher moves back
and completely stops at its starting
position, insert a wedge wood under
the jammed log as shown in fig.
5.
3.
Start the log splitter to push the
wedge wood under the jammed one.
4.
Repeat above procedure with
sharper slope wedge woods until
the log is completely freed.
Backrun safety device
Use the backrun stop (17) for splitting
shorter pieces of wood.
To install the stop move the pressure
plate towards the splitting wedge.
Once the final position is achieved only
hold down the hydraulic lever with the
lever locking to avoid a return move-
ment of the pressure plate.
Now you can insert the stop plate using
the pin at the bearing surface of the
tube.
Adjustment of the pressure plate
The pressure plate (2) can be set to 2
positions.
Lift the pin on the left of the pressure
plate and pull out the pressure plate.
Then, reinsert the pin.
The device must not be operated if the
pressure plate is not properly secured.
The hydraulic system is a closed system
with oil tank, oil pump and control valve.
Check hydraulic connections and fit-
tings regularely for air tightness. Tighten
when necessary.
The oil tank has been filled with high
quality oil (ISO viscosity level 20) at the
factory.
Replacing hydraulic oil after 150
hours of use (Fig. 3)
1.
Make sure all moving parts stop and
the log splitter is unplugged.
2.
Unscrew oil drain screw (16) to
remove it.
3.
Turn the log splitter on the support
leg side as shown in fig. 3.1 over a 4
liter capacity container to drain the
hydraulic oil off. Recycle carefully!
4.
Turn your machine on the motor
side as shown in fig. 3.2 to refill
about 2,4 l fresh oil (viscosity 20).
5.
Clean the surface of the dip stick on
the oil drain bolt and put it back into
the oil tank while keeping the log
splitter vertically. Make sure the
level of the refilled oil is just
between 2 grooves around the
dip stick.
6.
Clean the oil drain bolt before threa-
ding it back. Make sure it is tighte-
ned to avoid leakage before placing
the log splitter horizontally. After-

Periodically check oil level. Upon low oil
level oil refilling is required.
Carry out refitting, setting and cleaning
work only when the motor is switched
off. Pull the power plug.
An experienced worker can carry out
minor repairs on the machine alone.
Repair and maintenance work on the
electrical system may only be carried out
by a qualified electrician.
All protective and safety devices must be
reattached immediately after completed
repair and maintenance work.
We recommend:
•
The splitting wedge is a wearing part that
needs to be sharpened or replaced after
wear.
•
The combined gripping and control-
ling device must remain smooth run-
ning. Lubricate with a few dropsof oil
when necessary.
•
Keep splitting wedge drive clean of
dirt, wood shavings, bark, etc.
