Important warnings before start The log splitter is a tool which, if used wrongly, can cause serious accidents. It is therefore important that you read and understand the user manual before using the tool, especially the safety warnings marked with the symbol:

The log splitter is only intended for splitting logs of wood, if the size corresponds to the recommended indicates: Length 25-61 cm. Diameter 20-40 cm. DO NOT at any time carry passengers, sit or stand on the log splitter. Check the hydraulic oil level and visually inspect all hoses and attachments for problems. Inspect the engine and make sure the engine oil level is correct.29

Before towing the log splitter the tires need to be fully inflated.

Refer to the vehicle owner’s manual for proper safety and towing instructions.

The log splitter must (except from the operator) have at least 5 m of clearance to people or animals. It needs to be on a dry and level surface with good footing. Do not work on mud, ice, brush or snow. When using the log splitter, the work zone must always be maintained. NOTE: Serious accidents can happen when other people are allowed inside the work zone. Keep everyone else outside the work zone while operating the control lever. Always keep your feet away from the splitting plate. The feet must always be kept within the WORK ZONE while working with the log splitter. Never kick wood that is standing on the splitting plate, while holding the handles and the wedge runs down. This can result in jam and serious injury. Always release both handles before the feet leave the work zone.

Always keep the work zone clean and free of splitted wood and debris.

Always wear safety gear, eye protection, gloves and work boots when operating the log splitter

The hydraulic oil needs to be above 0° C before starting the engine. Cold hydraulic oil can damage the hydraulic pump. If outdoor air temperature is below 0° C allow the log splitter to warm up by extending and returning the wedge several times before splitting wood.30

Put both support legs in the down position to prevent the log splitter from moving during operation and block both tires. Load a log onto the beam against the base plate.

Keep hands away from all moving parts around wedge head and piston. This also applies when the wedge / piston returns. If a piece of wood is stuck on the wedge, there is a risk that it will be pulled up so that hands / fingers can be pinched between the wood and the protective guard at the starting position of the wedge.

Wood, unlike most other materials, is very varied and can behave differently when splitting depending on the type of wood, moisture and whether it has many knots and side branches. Most wood is easily cleaved without problems. However, in some cases, the wood can be very hard, and the log splitter must build up extra pressure before the wood splits. This can mean that the wood "jumps" and divides with high pressure. The same can apply if the tree has many knots.31 Operation Note: The log splitter may only be used by one person! Follow the following procedure:

1. Check that the log splitter is stably placed on a firm surface.

2. Put the beam in a vertical position by loosening and removing the locking pin and

carefully tipping the base plate down towards the ground. Remember to lock the beam again with the locking pin. NOTE: The log splitter can only be used in a vertical position.

3. Start the engine (see instructions in separate engine operating instructions).

4. Place a piece of wood in the center of the base plate of the log splitter.

5. Activate the control levers A and B with both hands by pressing them down. It causes

the piston with the wedge to run down towards the piece of wood. If one or both control levers are released, the wedge stops in the position in which it is located.

6. Let the wedge run down until the wood divides into two parts and release the handles.

7. Push up the right control handle A, which causes the wedge to return.

The log splitter can provide a pressure of approx. 20 tons, which is more than enough to split most wood, even wood that has been stored for time. In the rare cases that the machine cannot split a very hard piece of wood, do not press the cylinder for more than 30 seconds, as the hydraulic oil can otherwise overheat and cause damage to the hydraulic system. In such cases, release the piece of wood and try splitting it in another position (e.g. turn it 90

) or skip it.32 Use of wood lifter The log splitter is equipped with a wood lifting function, which should be used when splitting long and heavy pieces of wood. The function cannot be used on short pieces. To use the wood lifter, the chain from the lifting bar must be mounted on the holder A. If you do not want to use the lifting function, the chain must be mounted on the holder B.

1. Drive the wedge all the way to the bottom so that the lifting bar rests on the ground.

2. Place a long piece of wood on the lifting bar and let the wood end rest against the

3. Activate the right control lever (push up) so that the wedge moves backwards. The

chain which is attached to the splitting head and lifting bar now lifts the wood piece up on the base plate (2).

4. Split the wood by activating both control levers (3).

Use of log fixture On left control handle is a log fixture device which can be held down against the wood. The fixture device can be moved along the handle by loosening the bolt to fit any piece of wood being split. In addition to keeping the wood clamped, it can also be used as a counter-holder for clamped wood.

Removal of pinched wood If a piece of wood gets stuck on the wedge, remove it as instructed below:

1. If the wood is loosely fastened around the wedge, the wooden holder can be used to

counter hold when the wood is pulled up by the wedge.

2. If the wood is very stuck: Move the wedge up so that the piece of wood is

approximately 5-10 cm above the base plate and release the control handles

3. Take a heavy tool with a handle, e.g. a large hammer or ax (the back of the head) or

just a larger piece of wood and hit it on the wood that is pinched around the wedge. Make sure to keep a good distance with your feet so that they are not hit by the falling wood.

4. Turn the piece of wood over and split it again from the opposite side until the wood is

WARNING: Only the user of the log splitter may loosen a pinched piece of wood.

Other people must not help as it can result in dangerous situations.34 Adjustment of coupling point for control handle B The coupling point for control handle B (12) can be adjusted so that the handle does not have to be pushed down so far to activate the cylinder. To adjust the coupling point, the spring (green arrow 1) must be pressed down using the nuts (orange arrow 2). Start with the lower nut and then the middle nut. Finish by turning the top nut (blue arrow 3) down in level.

For vehicle towing When vehicle towing, pull the log cradle and lifting bar must be put in transport position. A: Pull the spring pin and push the log cradle in the direction of the arrow and fix the spring pin so it is locked in position. B: Pull the spring pin and push the lifting bracket in the direction of the arrow and fix the spring pin.3536 Maintain and storage Before performing maintenance, the log splitter must be placed in maintenance mode.

2. Move the control valve handle forward and backward to relieve hydraulic pressure.
