2.6 Safety and protective devices
Motor protection switch
The motor protection switch switches off the motor if the log splitter is overloaded. Do not deactivate the function of the motor protection switch. If the motor protection switch has switched off the log splitter, proceed as follows:
- Disconnect the log splitter from the mains.
- Determine the cause of the overload.
- Allow the log splitter to cool down for several minutes, then connect to the mains again.
- Switch on the log splitter.
Two-hand operation
The splitting wedge travels down only when both operating arms are actuated simultaneously. This eliminates the risk of the operator's hands being in the danger area.
2.7 Electrical connection
WARNING!
Risk of injury from elec- tric shock
A defective mains cable can result in serious injuries due to electric shock.
■ Ensure that the mains cable is not damaged or severed.
The maximum permissible cable length must not be exceeded. A longer cable impairs the motor power and hence the performance and function of the log splitter.
■ Mains cable, mains plug and coupling socket must be undamaged. A defective mains cable (e.g. with cracks, cuts, crushed or kinked points in the insulation) must not be used.
■ Repairs to the mains cable, mains plug and coupling socket may only be carried out by qualified electricians.
■ Do not expose plug connectors to moisture.
If the mains cable is damaged, immediately disconnect it from the mains.
Demands on the electrical connection
The mains power supply must be equipped with protective devices against low voltage, overvoltage, overload current (16 A) and an earth leakage circuit breaker (max. leakage current 0.03 A). Further demands on the electrical connection can be found in the technical data.
Requirements for the mains cable
NOTE
A mains cable is not included in the scope of supply and must therefore be purchased separately.
The mains cable must satisfy the following demands:
For LSV 6 and LSV 7:
Suitable for 230 V AC
■ 3 cores (1P + N + PE)
■ Maximum cable length: 10 m
For LSV 8:
Suitable for 400 V AC
■ 5 cores (3P + N + PE)
■ Maximum cable length: 10 m

pliance.
■ Never operate the appliance with worn or defective parts. Always replace defective parts with original spare parts from the manufacturer. If the appliance is operated with worn or defective parts, guarantee claims against the manufacturer are excluded.
NOTE
Repair work is only al- lowed to be carried out by expert workshops or our AL-KO service centres.
3.6 Electrical safety
■ The connection plug of the appliance 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 appliances. 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 cable for incorrect purposes such as carrying the electrical tool, hanging it up or for pulling the plug out of the socket. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts of the equipment. Damaged or tangled cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
If you are working outside with a power tool, only use extension leads that are also suitable for outside. Using an extension lead 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 appliance. Use the appropriate electrical tool for the job
you are doing. Using the appropriate electrical tool will enable you to work more effectively and safely in the specified performance range.
- Do not use an electrical tool if it has a defective switch. An electrical 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 machine, change accessories or put the machine away. This precautionary measure will prevent the machine from starting inadvertently. - Keep unused electrical tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow people to use the machine 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 electrical tools 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 you use the machine. Many accidents are caused by failure to maintain electrical 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 electrical 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 electrical tools for applications other than the intended purpose can result in dangerous situations.

7 OPERATION
WARNING!
Risk of injury if operated by more than one person
Operation of the appliance by two or more persons can result in serious injuries.
■ Operate the appliance only alone.
- Keep other persons away and in particular prevent them from reaching into the log that is currently being split.
IMPORTANT!
Risk of damage from im- proper use
Improper splitting of the logs can result in damage or destruction of the appliance.
■ Always place the log on the splitting table perpendicularly, i.e. in the direction of the wood grain, never at right angles.
■ Never try to force a log to split by maintaining the hydraulic pressure for several seconds.
WARNING!
Risk of injury from shattering log
Stored hardwood, irregular branches, irregular logs and logs with a large number of knots tend to shatter during splitting. Flying pieces of wood can then cause serious injuries.
Split only straight logs with a perpendicular and straight cutting surface.
■ Wear the prescribed protective clothing at all times.
NOTE
■ Always split only well-dried logs. These can be split far easier than fresh, moist wood.
■ Very thick logs can be split more easily if they are not too long.
7.1 Before each use
WARNING! Danger of injury from faulty appliance

CAUTION!
Risk of injury due to un- tidy workplace
Untidiness and logs lying around pose a risk of tripping and slipping in the working area.
■ Store the logs to be split in a tidy pile.
- Immediately remove split logs and wood chips from the working area.
- For LSV 7 and LSV 8: Adjust the retaining claws to the diameter of the logs to be split (see chapter 5.5 "Adjusting retaining claws [LSV 7, LSV 8] (10)", page 40).
- Place the log absolutely perpendicularly onto the splitting table.
Note: The log must stand freely on the splitting table. Never try to split crooked logs!
Press both operating arms together simultaneously so that the log is clamped (15/a). - Press both operating arms down simultaneously (15/b). The splitting wedge moves down (15/c).
- When the splitting wedge can completely split the log: Release both operating arms so that the splitting wedge moves up.
- Remove the split logs from the working area.
7.5 Removing a jammed log
CAUTION!
Risk of injury from a jammed log flying out
If a jammed log flies out of the appliance, injuries can be caused and the appli-ance may be damaged.
■ Never try to free a jammed log using tools.
- Allow the splitting wedge to travel up completely.
- Position a wedge-shaped log on the splitting table.
- Allow the splitting wedge to travel down. The jammed log is forced forwards by the wedge-shaped log.
- Repeat the steps above with larger wedges in turn until the jammed log is freed.
8 MAINTENANCE AND CARE
WARNING!
Risk of injury during maintenance work
Improper maintenance can result in serious injury and damage to the appliance.
■ Disconnect the appli- ance from the mains be- fore starting mainte- nance work.
■ Have repairs to the appliance carried out only by qualified companies.
8.1 Maintenance and care work
8.1.1 Grease sliding surfaces (16)
Grease the sliding surfaces at regular intervals, particularly when splitting very resin y logs:
- Clean sliding surfaces (16/1) of splitting column (16/2) and splitting wedge (16/3).
- Grease the sliding surfaces with a resin and acid-free grease.
8.2 Maintenance tasks
8.2.1 Sharpening the splitting wedge
If the splitting wedge has become blunt after a long period of use:
- Remove material deposits on the splitting wedge using a suitable file and then sharpen the splitting wedge.
- Apply oil or lubricant to the sharpened surfaces.
8.2.2 Checking and topping up hydraulic oil (17)
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.
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.
- Stand the log splitter upright and disconnect from the mains power supply.
- Allow the log splitter to stand for a few minutes so that the oil can settle in the oil tank.
- Unscrew oil dipstick (17/1) from oil filler neck (17/2) and wipe using a clean, lint-free cloth.
Check the oil level
- Insert the dipstick up to the stop and pull out again.
- Read off the oil level from the dipstick. The oil level must be between the upper (17/3) and lower (17/4) mark.
Top up hydraulic oil
If the oil level is below the lower mark:
- Pour in hydraulic oil (17/5) through the oil filler neck. Use a funnel, if necessary. Do not allow any foreign particles to get into the oil tank!
- Check the oil level (see above).
- Screw in the dipstick again and tighten slightly.
Change hydraulic oil
The complete hydraulic oil must be changed once a year.
- Place oil drip tray (17/6) under the log splitter.
- Unscrew oil drain plug (17/7) with seal ring (17/8) and allow all the oil to drain into the oil drip tray. Dispose of the old oil in the prescribed manner!
- Place a seal ring on the oil drain plug and screw in the drain plug tightly.
- Pour in hydraulic oil (see above).
