13.2.4
Size of Logs
Select your workplace under consideration of
the safety regulations.
Keep your wooden blocks divided in stock for
processing. The maximum length of the
wooden blocks should not exceed 104 cm.
Always select the correct height for the respective stem length. Always use the lock to secure the
table at the desired position.
Do not run this log splitter under full load for more than 5 seconds.

Application
1.
To ensure longer life apply some grease to
the sliding surfaces of the arm whenever
you intend to use this machine
(Fig. A).
2.
Always lay the power cord so that it can-
not be damaged (by your working).
3.
Open the vent plug. Open the hydraulic oil
tank cap for a few turns whenever you
start your log splitter. Completely close
the hydraulic oil tank cap after work.
4.
If you want to run this log splitter at very
low temperatures run the machine idle for
15 min. before beginning to work to allow
the hydraulic oil to warm up.
5.
Prior to beginning your work, perform the following steps to check the functionality of your log
splitter.
a.
Press both operating levers down. This must bring the splitting blade down. The splitting blade
must then come to a standstill some 5 cm above the topmost table position.
b.
If you release one of the two levers the splitting blade will stop at its current position.
c.
Releasing both levers will induce the splitting blade to automatically return to the top.
6.
Now, place vertically under the splitting blade the log to be split. Make sure that the log is even
and does not fall over on the splitting table.
Never try to split canted logs.
7.
Adjust the two levers, depending on the log
diameters.
8.
Hold the log with both levers to guarantee a stable standing position of the log. Then move both
levers down to split the log. Releasing one of the two levers will induce the splitting blade to stop.
If you release both levers the splitting blade will automatically move to its topmost position.
9.
Immediately remove the split log parts from your working area and pile them up, if necessary.
Thus you can reduce the riskof working accidents.
I M P O R T A N T
Never try to split fresh wood.
dry wood is much easier to split than fresh,
wet logs. in addition, it does not tend to
get jammed during splitting so frequently.
I M P O R T A N T
There is a vent plug cover at the machine
front side (10). Every time you want to
begin your work, you should screw out this
plug some four turns to guarantee good air
circulation in the oil tank. Before you
transport this machine, close this plug to
avoid oil leakage.
If you leave the vent plug tightened while
you are working the hydraulic movements
will lead to some overpressure which can
damage your machine.
I M P O R T A N T
Always split your logs along the grain.
Never load the logs crosswise to the
grain, as this can lead to severe damage
to the mechanical and hydraulic sys-
tems.
