2.1 Designated use

The log splitter is intended exclusively for splitting perpendicularly cut and well-dried logs. The dimensions of the logs must not exceed the dimensions given in the technical data.

Only one person may remain in the working area of the log splitter, and the log splitter may be operated only by one person.

This appliance is intended solely for use in non-commercial applications. Any other use (as well as unauthorised conversions or add-ons) are regarded as contrary to the intended use and will result in exclusion of the warranty as well as loss of conformity (CE mark); the manufacturer will thus decline any responsibility for damage and/or injury suffered by the user or third parties.

2.2 Possible foreseeable misuse

Splitting of logs in which metal parts such as nails, wire, staples, etc. are embedded if forbidden.
■ Operation in a potentially explosive atmosphere is forbidden.
■ Use for any other purpose that the designated use is forbidden.

2.3 Safety and protective devices

AL-KO KHS 3704 - Appliance safety - 1

NOTE

Repair work is only allowed to be carried out by expert workshops or our AL-KO service centres.

3.6 Electrical safety

■ The connection plug of the power tool must fit into the socket. The plug is not allowed to be changed in any way. Do not use any plug adapters together with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
■ Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces such as on pipes, heaters, cookers

and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.

  • Keep electrical tools out of the rain and away from moisture. Water getting into an electrical tool increases the risk of an electric shock.
  • Do not use the connection cable for incorrect purposes such as carrying the electrical tool, hanging it up or for pulling the plug out of the socket. Keep the connection cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or tangled connection cables increase the risk of electric shock.
    If you are working outside with a power tool, only use extension cables that are also suitable for outside. Using an extension cable that is suitable for outside decreases the risk of electric shock.
    If the operation of the power tool in a humid environment cannot be avoided, use a fault current circuit breaker. Using a fault current circuit breaker decreases the risk of electric shock.

3.7 Use and handling of the electrical tool

  • Do not overload the power tool. Use the appropriate power tool for the job you are doing. Using the appropriate power tool will enable you to work more effectively and safely in the specified performance range.
  • Do not use a power tool if it has a defective switch. A power tool that can no longer be switched on or off is dangerous and must be repaired.
    ■ Disconnect the plug from the socket and/or remove the battery before you make adjustments to the appliance, replace parts or put the power tool away. This precautionary measure will prevent the power tool from starting inadvertently.
  • Keep unused power tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow people to use the power tool if they are not familiar with it or have not read these instructions. Power tools are dangerous if they are used by inexperienced people.

- Look after power tools and the insertion tool with care. Check whether moving parts function perfectly and do not stick, whether there are any broken parts or parts that are damaged in such a way that the function of the power tool is impaired. Have damaged parts repaired before using the power tool. Many accidents are caused by failure to maintain power tools properly.

- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharper cutting edges are less likely to stick and are easier to control.

■ Use power tools, accessories, insertion tools, etc. according to these instructions. When doing so, take account of the working conditions and the activity to be undertaken. Using power tools for applications other than the intended purpose can result in dangerous situations.

- Keep the grips and grip surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery grips and grip surfaces

prevent safe operation and control of the power tool in unforeseen situations.

8.2.2 Checking and topping up hydraulic oil (10, 11)

Check the oil level every day and change the hydraulic oil after 1 year or 150 operating hours. Use only hydraulic oil HLP 46 for topping up and changing.

AL-KO KHS 3704 - Checking and topping up hydraulic oil (10, 11) - 1

WARNING!

Danger of injury due to tipping

A vertically erected, horizontal log splitter can tip very easily. This can cause serious injuries and damage to property.

■ Always have two persons to turn the appliance upright.
■ Always hold an upright appliance or secure it to prevent it from tipping over.

IMPORTANT!

Risk of appliance damage from use of wrong hydraulic oil

Use of the wrong hydraulic oil and oil levels that are too high or too low result in malfunctions and heat development and can damage the hydraulic pump.

■ Use only the prescribed hydraulic oil.
- Check the hydraulic oil level at regular intervals and top up, when necessary.

Use only hydraulic oil of the viscosity class HLP 46.

AL-KO KHS 3704 - Risk of appliance damage from use of wrong hydraulic oil - 1

NOTE

Always check the hydraulic oil level with the log pusher retracted.

  1. Tilt the log splitter over the wheels, position upright and hold securely during the whole process.
  2. Unscrew the oil dipstick (10/1) and wipe using a clean, lint-free cloth.
  3. Insert the dipstick up to the stop and pull out again.

The oil level must be between the marks "min." and "max." (10). If necessary, top up hydraulic oil (11/2) using a funnel (11/1).

  1. Check seal (10/2) for damage and replace if necessary.
  2. Screw in the oil dipstick again and tighten only slightly to avoid damaging the thread of the cylinder cover.

AL-KO KHS 3704 - NOTE - 1

NOTE

An oil change is not necessary.
