Motor circuit breaker The motor circuit breaker switches the motor off in the event of overloading of the log splitter. The motor circuit breaker function should not be deactivated.
Electrical requirements:
KHS 3700, KHS 5200 models − AC 230 V / 50 Hz − Min. connection cable cross section = 2.5 mm²
− Min. mains connection fuse protection = 16 A Proceed as follows if the motor circuit breaker deactivates the log splitter:
Disconnect the log splitter from the mains power supply.
Remedy the cause of overloading. Re-establish the power connection after allowing the unit to cool for several minutes and switch on the log splitter.
Only rubber cable complying with the H07RN-F quality standard stipulated in VDE 0282 Part 14 with a wire cross section of min. 2.5 mm² should be used. The max. permissible cable length is 10 m. A longer cable impairs the motor performance and, consequently, the function of the log splitter. The connection cable, plug and connection socket should be free of damage. Repairs to the connection cable, plug and connection socket should only be realised by a specialist electrical firm or workshop. A defective connection cable (e.g. with cracks, cuts or bends in the insulation) should not be used. Plug connections should not be exposed to damp or water. Caution! Do not damage or sever the connection cable. Proceed as follows in case of damage: 1.
Disconnect the connection cable immediately from the mains power supply.
The log splitter is designed for private use in the home and garden.
The log splitter is designed exclusively for the following applications: − Splitting freshly-cut timber that does not exceed the dimensions specified in the technical data.
Splitting of timber containing metal components such as nails, wire, metal braces, etc. is prohibited
Operation in potentially-explosive atmospheres is not permitted Any other utilisation above or beyond correct use is prohibited.
Log pusher Log guide tubes Splitting wedge Piston rod Transportation bracket ON/OFF switch on electric motor Operating lever Rear feet (only KHS 5200) Support foot (only KHS 5200) Park position transport wheels (only KHS 5200) 12 Front feet (only KHS 5200) 13 Front cross member (only KHS 5200)
The log splitter should only be used when all its component parts have been completely assembled. Check the package contents (Illus. A/B). Inform the dealer if deficiencies are detected. Note: Tools required for assembly/operation are depicted in Illus. C. These are not included in the scope of delivery.
Mounting the transport wheels
Fit the axle (Illus. 1-2) from outside through the wheel and through the tube (Illus. 1-1) and secure it with the spring plug (Illus. 1-3).
Mounting the feet (KHS 5200)
Mount the transportation wheels on both the front feet; see Section “Mounting the transport wheels.”
Warning! The transportation wheels are only used to transport the log splitter. During splitting operation, the wheels must be removed from the feet and mounted in the park position (Illus. B11).
Tilt the log splitter on to one side and mount the front and rear foot.
Fit the foot (Illus. 2-2 and Illus. 4-2) up to the stop limit inside the tubular frame (Illus. 2-1 and 4-1) and secure it firmly in position with screws, washers, and locking nuts. Tilt the log splitter onto the opposite side with the help of a second person, and mount the other feet and afterwards put it upright. Put the log splitter in vertical position (piston rod upright) and screw the support foot (illus. 3-1) on the rear feet. Erect the log splitter and mount the cross members in front (Illus 5-1) with the help of the threaded rod (Illus. 51).
Caution! The log splitter should not be operated if components (e.g. the protective hoops) are missing or defective or the connection cable is damaged.
Conduct a visual inspection of the log splitter.
The log splitter should not be operated if components are missing, defective or loose. Visually inspect the connection cable. A defective connection cable (e.g. with cracks, cuts, crushing damage or bends in the insulation) should not be used. Visually inspect the hydraulic components for leaks.
Log splitter start-up
Caution! The log splitter should only be used by one person. 1. Position the log splitter horizontally on a level, firm surface, better with a slight inclination towards the operating lever (since the valves are seated here). If inclined towards the splitting wedge it loses splitting force. Do not deposit the log splitter on the connection cable! 2. Lay the connection cable so that it cannot be damaged by bending, crushing or otherwise.
The transportation wheels with model KHS 5200 are only used to transport the log splitter. During splitting operation, the wheels must be removed from the feet and mounted in the park position. Loosen the venting screw (Illus. 6) by 3-4 turns. Note: After splitting, tighten the venting screw (Illus. 6) again . Depending on the length, lay the log such that the wooden log is held by the log guide tubes. Warning! Never lay the log on the splitter in transverse direction, see Illus. 10. Never force the splitting of a log by sustaining the hydraulic pressure over several seconds.
Connect the cable to the mains supply.

Sharpening the splitting wedge
1. The splitting wedge should be sharpened with a suitable file if necessary.
With one hand, press the green switch on button of the electric motor (Illus. 7-2) and hold it pressed.
After the motor has attained its end speed, press the operating lever with the other hand (Illus. 7-1) fully downwards. The log pusher will press the log against the splitting wedge. The log will be split. By releasing the green switch-on button or the operating lever, the log pusher moves back into its end position.
Checking the hydraulic oil filling level
Note: Always check the hydraulic oil level when the log pusher is moved inwards. The log splitter should be in a vertical position.
To erect and hold the log splitter a second person is required.
Pull out the unit plug and tighten the vent screw prior to every change of location.
Do not transport the log splitter on the cylinder fastening. Hold the log splitter on the transport bracket to transport it.
Maintenance and care
Caution! Switch off the log splitter and disconnect from the mains power supply prior to each working operation with the log splitter. Repairs to the log splitter should only be realised by a specialist firm or workshop.
Unscrew and remove the oil inspection rod (Illus. 8) and wipe with a clean, lint-free cloth.
Insert the oil inspection rod (do not screw it in) and pull out again. The oil level should be between the markings "min" and "max" (see Illus. 8). Top up the hydraulic oil if necessary (see Illus. 9). Check the seal (Illus. 8-1) for damage and replace if necessary. Screw in the oil inspection rod and tighten it slightly, in order to avoid damage to the threads of the cylinder head.
Refill only with viscosity class HLP 46 hydraulic oil. An oil change is not necessary.
Caring for the log splitter
Cleaning the guide rail 1. Clean the guide rail of the log pusher regularly, especially when splitting wood that is rich in resin.
