Frequently Asked Questions - PLS 600 A1 PARKSIDE

How to start the Parkside PLS 600 A1 log splitter?

Plug in the power cord, then simultaneously operate the control lever (left hand) and the trigger button (right hand). The pressure plate then advances to split the wood.

Which hydraulic oil to use and how to check the level?

Use hydraulic oil type HLP 32. To check the level, place the splitter upright, remove the oil drain screw with gauge, wipe it, reinsert it, then remove it again: the level should be at the central mark on the gauge. If necessary, top up with about 3.5 liters of oil.

What to do if the motor stops while splitting?

This may be due to thermal overload: the protection device has cut off the motor. Wait about 15 minutes for the motor to cool down, then restart. If the problem persists, contact a specialized electrician.

How to transport the splitter safely?

Before transport, unplug the power cord and tighten the purge screw (6) fully to prevent oil leaks. Grasp the handle (3) and tilt the machine onto its wheels (15) to move it easily.

What protective equipment is mandatory?

Always wear safety glasses, hearing protection (as sound level exceeds 85 dB), work gloves, safety shoes, and close-fitting clothing.

How to change the hydraulic oil?

Place the splitter upright, remove the oil drain screw (9) after placing a collection container. Drain the used oil completely, then fill with about 3.5 liters of new HLP 32 oil. Check the level and bleed the air by operating the machine empty.

What is the procedure if the wood gets stuck?

Release the control lever (13) and trigger button (5) to retract the pressure plate. Place wedges under the stuck wood and repeat the operation until it is expelled. Never attempt to hit or saw the stuck wood.

How to adjust the stroke limiter?

For short logs, operate the control lever and trigger button to bring the pressure plate just in front of the wood. Release the button, loosen the star knob screw of the stroke limiter ring (8), position the ring, then retighten the screw.

Where to find spare parts and after-sales service?

Wear parts (splitting wedge, oil, guides) are available from specialized dealers. For after-sales service, contact the hotline [phone] (toll-free) or send an email to [e-mail]. You can also download the manual from www.lidl-service.com via the QR code.

What are the essential safety precautions?

Read the manual before use, never remove safety devices, use the machine outdoors only, keep people and animals at least 5 meters away, and only split wood along the grain with a maximum length of 520 mm.

12. Working instructions

12.1 Ventilation screw (fig. 15)

Before starting any work, it is essential to loosen the ventilation screw (6) by a few turns to ensure air circulation in the oil tank. If it remains tightened while working, the hydraulic movement leads to overpressure which can damage your log splitter!

Attention:

• Before transporting the product, it is essential to tighten the ventilation screw (6) to prevent oil leakage.
• At low temperatures, allow the splitter to idle for 5 mins. until the oil has heated up accordingly.

12.2 Switching on/off (fig. 16)

Your log splitter is equipped with two-handed operation - the left hand operates the operating lever (13), the right the release button (5). Releasing both control parts causes the pressure plate (11) to retract. If the release button (5) is switched off and the operating lever (13) is actuated, the pressure plate (11) remains at the current position.

1. Plug the log splitter's plug into the socket.
2. When laying the power supply cable, ensure that it is not led over the pressure plate (11) or near the riving knife (2). Also avoid places where there is a danger of damage or tearing.
3. Position the wooden block on the support guide. The guides hold the wooden block in the centre of the riving knife. If the wooden block does not fit well or "snugly", it must be turned.

4. Press the operating lever (13) downwards with the left hand and initiate the splitting process by pressing the release button (5) with the right hand.

5. The pressure plate (11) moves forwards and pushes the wood through the riving knife (2).

12.2.1 Thermal protection

With overloading or overheating, the protective shut-down integrated in the product switches off for safety reasons.

1. Wait approx. 15 minutes until the motor has cooled down.
2. Restart the product.

12.3 Splitting logs

WARNING!

Risk of injury!

Dry and seasoned wood can explode during the splitting process and injure the operator in the face.

During the splitting process, bruising or severing of body parts may occur due to retracting of the riving knife.

Pieces of wood that are produced during a splitting process can fall down.

• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.

Make sure that the wood to be split does not contain nails or foreign objects. The end of the log must be cut straight. Branches must be sawn off flush. Pieces of wood cut at an angle can slip away during the splitting process! Only split timbers that have been sawn off straight.

To do this, proceed as follows:

1. Place the log to be split straight on the support surface (10).
2. Now operate the operating lever (13) with your left hand and the release button (5) with your right hand.
3. Press the operating lever (13) downwards and initiate the splitting process by pressing the release button (5).
4. If the release button (5) is switched off and the operating lever (13) is actuated, the pressure plate (11) remains at the current position. Releasing both control parts causes the pressure plate (11) to retract.
5. Now, shorten the return of the pressure plate (11) by fixing it in the desired position using the star grip screw on the stroke limitation ring (8) (see 12.4).

If a piece of log to be split cannot be split within 5 seconds, stop the process immediately. The log is probably too hard for the capacity of your log splitter. Turn the log 90^ and try again.

Note:

Continuous operation for more than 5 seconds can pose a risk of overheating. Your product may become damaged.

12.4 Stroke limitation (fig. 1)

If the log is short, it makes sense to limit the stroke of the pressure plate (11).

1. Press the control lever (13) and the release button (5) and move the pressure plate (11) until just in front of the log.
2. Release the release button (5).
3. Place the stroke limitation ring (8) at the desired position where the pressure plate (11) should remain by loosening the star grip screw.
4. Re-tighten the star grip screw.

5. You can then release the control lever (13).

6. The pressure plate (11) now remains in the set position when splitting.

12.5 Incorrect placement (Fig. 17)

Attention!

Risk of injury!

Never split multiple pieces at the same time! There is a danger that one of the parts may be flung uncontrollably from the machine.

• Always place the log flat on the support surface! It must not slip or be placed at an angle. The riving knife (2) will be overstressed if a splitting process does not take place across the entire cutting edge, but only in the upper area.
• The log must always rest firmly on the guides and on the support surface (10). Make sure that the log does not rotate while splitting and cannot jump up or slip.
• Do not overload the riving knife (2) by force splitting at the top end. This can lead to breaking of the riving knife or damage to the log splitter.
  Always split the log in the direction of the wood fibre.
• Never place wood in the log splitter crossways. This can be dangerous and/or seriously damage the log splitter.

12.6 Wedged logs (fig. 18 + 19)

ATTENTION!

Risk of injury!

There is a danger of knotty logs becoming jammed during the splitting process. Please note that the wood is under a lot of tension when it is removed and your fingers can be crushed in the split crack.

• Do not reach into the log splitter when it is running.
• Do not put any objects into the log splitter while it is running (e.g. hammer or similar).

Never try to knock or saw wedged logs out of your log splitter. This can lead to accidents and damage to the product.

Proceed as follows:

1. Release the control lever (13) and the release button (5) in order to move the pressure plate (11) back into the start position (see fig. 16).
2. Place a wedge under the log (see fig. 19).
3. Trigger a splitting process so that the pressure plate (11) pushes the wedge far below the log to be removed.
4. Repeat the above steps with new wedges until the log is pushed up and out of the log splitter.

13. Transport (fig. 20)

ATTENTION!

Disconnect the mains plug before transport.

The log splitter is equipped with two wheels and a handle for easy transport.

In order to transport the product, hold the handle (3) of the log splitter with one hand and raise it forwards from the floor. This makes it easy to transport the log splitter (fig. 20).

Before transporting the product, the ventilation screw (6) must be tightened to prevent oil leakage. (see 12.1). If the ventilation screw is left tightened, the movements will cause a certain amount of overpressure which can damage the product.

14. Maintenance

WARNING!

Risk of injury!

The product can start unexpectedly and cause injuries.

• Switch the motor off before performing any maintenance work.
• Disconnect the mains plug before carrying out any maintenance work.

WARNING!

Risk to health!

Inhalation of oil vapours and exhaust gases can cause serious damage to health, unconsciousness and in extreme cases death.

• Do not breathe in oil vapours and exhaust gases.

-Only use the product outdoors.

NOTE!

Product damage

If the product is operated without or with too little hydraulic oil, this can lead to product damage.

• Fill with oil before start-up. The product is delivered without oil.

NOTE!

Environmental damage!

Spilled oil can pollute the environment permanently. The liquid is highly toxic and can quickly lead to water pollution.

-Fill/empty oil only on level, paved surfaces.
-Use a filling nozzle or funnel.
-Collect drained oil in a suitable container.
-Immediately wipe up any spilled oil carefully and dispose it according to local regulations.
- Dispose of oil as per local regulations.

Our recommendation to you:

• The riving knife is a wearing part that must be resharpened if necessary (see 14.3).
• The combined two-hand protective device must remain smooth-running. Lubricate with a few drops of oil as required.
• Always keep the support surface clean.
• Lubricate the slider rails with a little grease.

Check the oil level regularly!

An oil level that is too low will damage the oil pump! (See 11.1)

Check the hydraulic connections and screw connections for leaks regularly and retighten them if necessary.

We recommend oil from the HLP 32 range.

When do I change the oil?

Change the oil after 150 working hours.

14.1 Changing the hydraulic oil (fig. 13 - 14)

1. Pull out the mains plug and position the log splitter vertically.
2. Remove the handle (3) from the U-bow (7) by loosening the screw M6 x 16 (A) (see fig. 3).
