⚠ WARNING!

Danger of crushing!

The area behind the pressure plate (16) must be kept free of wood residues at all times. There is an increased danger of crushing!

12.1 Ventilation screw (9) (Fig. 21)

Before starting any work, it is essential to loosen the ventilation screw (9) 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 (9) 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. 22)

Your log splitter is equipped with a two-hand control system. The left hand operates the operating lever (15), the right hand operates the release button (6). Releasing both control parts causes the pressure plate (16) to retract. If the release button (6) is switched off and the operating lever (15) is actuated, the pressure plate (16) remains at the current position.

1. Plug the mains plug into the socket.

2. When laying the power supply cable, ensure that it is not led over the pressure plate (16) 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 (15) downwards with the left hand and initiate the splitting process by pressing the release button (6) with the right hand.

5. The pressure plate (16) 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!

Danger 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.

2. Now operate the operating lever (15) with your left hand and the release button (6) with your right hand.

3. Press the operating lever (15) downwards and initiate the splitting process by pressing the release button (6).

4. If the release button (6) is switched off and the operating lever (15) is actuated, the pressure plate (16) remains at the current position.

Releasing both control parts causes the pressure plate (16) to retract.

1. Now, shorten the return of the pressure plate (16) by fixing it in the desired position using the star grip screw on the stroke limitation ring (28).

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 (16).

1. Press the control lever (15) and the release button (6) and move the pressure plate (16) until just in front of the log.
2. Release the release button (6).
3. Place the stroke limitation ring (28) at the desired position where the pressure plate (16) should remain by loosening the star grip screw.
4. Re-tighten the star grip screw.
5. You can then release the control lever (15).
6. The pressure plate (16) now remains in the set position when splitting.

12.5 Faulty loading (Figs. 23 - 25)

Attention!

Danger 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. 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. 23 + 25)

ATTENTION!

Danger 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 (15) and the release button (6) in order to move the pressure plate (16) back into the start position.
2. Place a wedge under the log.
3. Trigger a splitting process so that the pressure plate (16) 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. 26)

⚠ Attention!

Disconnect the mains plug before transport.

The log splitter is equipped with two transport wheels (12) and a handle (4) for easy transport. In order to transport the product, hold the handle (4) of the log splitter with one hand and raise it forwards from the floor. This makes it easy to transport the log splitter. Before transporting the product, the ventilation screw (9) must be tightened to prevent oil leakage.

14. Maintenance

⚠ WARNING!

Danger 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!

Health hazard!

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.

- Operate the product outdoors only.

NOTE!

Product damage

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

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.

- Wipe up spilled oil carefully immediately and dispose of the cloth 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 re-sharpened if necessary.

- 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! 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.

Tool required:

- Allen key, 5mm*

- Allen key, 8mm*

• Collection bucket*

- Funnel*

^* = may not be included in the scope of delivery!

14.1 Changing the hydraulic oil (Fig. 19/20)

1. Pull out the mains plug and position the log splitter vertically.

2. Remove the handle (4) from the U-bow (10) by loosening the Allen screws M6x16 mm (E). Use an Allen key 5 mm* for this.

3. Place a suitable collection bucket* under the oil drain screw with oil dipstick (11).

4. Remove the oil drain screw with oil dipstick (11) using an Allen key AF 8*.

5. Drain the hydraulic oil mixture completely.

6. Carefully top up the hydraulic oil (about 3.5 l) using a suitable funnel or filling nozzle. Do not overfill the hydraulic oil.

7. Check the oil level. Wipe the oil dipstick (11) with a clean, lint-free cloth.

8. Reinsert the oil drain screw with oil dipstick (11) and turn the oil drain screw with oil dipstick (11) back in again fully.

9. Remove the oil drain screw with oil dipstick (11) again.

10. The oil level must be within the middle mark on the oil dipstick. Top up with a little hydraulic oil if necessary.

11. Reinsert the oil drain screw with oil dipstick (11) and tighten it using an Allen key AF 8*.

12. Air can get into the hydraulic system after changing the hydraulic oil. Therefore, actuate the log splitter while idle several times.

Note: It is necessary to loosen the ventilation screw (9) by a few turns to ensure air circulation in the oil tank.

1. Then recheck the oil level and top up the hydraulic oil if necessary.

2. Fasten the handle (4) to the U-bow (10) with two Allen screws M6x16 mm (E). Use an Allen key 5 mm* for this.

15. Electrical connection

The electrical motor installed is connected and ready for operation. The connection complies with the applicable VDE and DIN provisions.

The customer's mains connection as well as the extension cable used must also comply with these regulations.

Use a portable safety switch (PRCD) if the residual current protective circuit (RCD) in the mains power supply is not provided with a rated residual current of no more than 0.03 A.

Damaged electrical connection cable

The insulation on electrical connection cables is often damaged.

This may have the following causes:

• Pressure points, where connection cables are passed through windows or doors.
• Kinks where the connection cable has been improperly fixed or routed.
• Places where the connection cables have been cut due to being driven over.
• Insulation damage due to being ripped out of the wall outlet.
• Cracks due to the insulation ageing.

Such damaged electrical connection cables must not be used and are life-threatening due to the insulation damage.

Check the electrical connection cables for damage regularly. Ensure that the connection cables are disconnected from electrical power when checking for damage.

Electrical connection cables must comply with the applicable VDE and DIN provisions. Only use connection cables of the same designation.

The printing of the type designation on the connection cable is mandatory.

For single-phase AC motors, we recommend a fuse rating of C 16A or K 16A for products with a high starting current (from 3000 watts)!

• The product fulfils the requirements of EN 61000-3-11 and is subject to special connection requirements. This means that use at any freely selectable connection points is not permitted.
• The product can cause temporary voltage fluctuations in unfavourable mains conditions.
• The product is only intended for use at connection points that a) do not exceed a maximum permissible mains impedance "Z" (Zmax. = 0.128 Ω), or b) have a mains constant current carrying capacity of at least 100 A per phase.

- As the user, you are required to ensure that the connection point at which you wish to operate the product fulfils one of the requirements mentioned, a) or b). If necessary, consult with your energy supplier in this regard.

AC motor 220 - 240 V\~ / 50 Hz

Mains voltage 220 - 240 V\~ / 50 Hz

Mains power connection and extension leads must be 3-core = P + N + SL - (1/N/PE). An extension cable with too small a conductor cross-section causes a significant reduction in the performance of the device.

Cables up to 25 m long must have a cross section of at least 3 x 1.5 mm ^2 , cables over 25 m long must have a cross section of at least 2.5 mm ^2 . The mains power connection must be protected with a max. 16 A fuse.
