2.12 Application (Figs. 4 – 7)
1. To ensure longer life apply some grease to
the sliding surfaces of the arm whenever
you intend to use this machine (Fig. 5).
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. Check the running direction of the motor.
When you start the motor the splitting
blade will be automatically moved to its
topmost position. If the splitting blade is
already at its topmost position press the
two operating levers down to activate the
splitting mechanism. This will bring the
splitting blade down. If the splitting blade
does not move upward after you have
started the motor immediately stop the
machine. After that, use a screwdriver to
change the polarity of the motor (Fig. 6).
If you have no adequate qualification to do
so contact an electrician under any cir-
cumstances.
5. If you want to run this log splitter at very low temperatures run the machine idle for 15 min. be-
fore beginning to work to allow the hydraulic oil to warm up.
6. 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.
7. To set the splitting blade follow the steps described below (Fig. 7) :
a. Bring the splitting blade into the desired position. The topmost position of the splitting
blade should then be some 3 – 5 cm above the log.
b. Release one of the operating levers or stop your log splitter.
c. Use a suitable tool to slacken star grip (A). Set the stroke adjusting rod so that it will act
as a stop at the desired position. After that, re-tighten star grip (A).
d. Release both operating levers or restart the motor
e. Check your newly set positions.
8. 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.
I M P O R T A N T
There is a vent plug at the machine front
side (Fig. 4). 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.
C A U T I O N
Never run the motor in the wrong direction.
This will inevitably lead to damage to the
pumping system, as a result of which you
will no longer be entitled to claim under
warranty.
