Transport / storage
Transport with fork lifts/pallet trucks:
During shipping, the machine is fixed tightly on a pallet with steel
straps. The machine is protected with a plastic covering.
To lift the machine from the pallet, several people or technical resour-
ces are needed.
Caution: The wood splitter's centre of gravity is high - risk of
tilting!
Transport with a crane:
During transport using a hook, the transport lug on the upper part of
the machine must be used.
Never lift the machine on the splitting knife!
Storing conditions:
The following conditions are required:
•
Dry storing place under roof
•
Maximum humidity 80 %
•
Temperature range -20 °C to +60 °C
The machine should operate under the following environmental condi-
tions:

If the outside temperature is below 5°C, let the machine run idle for
about 5 minutes so the hydraulic system reaches its operating tempe-
rature.
Setting up
Prepare the work place where the machine is to stand. Create suffici-
ent space in order to allow safe working without disturbance.
The machine has been designed for working on a level surface. It
must therefore be set up in a stable position on firm ground.
Assembly
Attaching the three-point bolts, Fig. 3
Insert the threaded bolts in the designated holes and fix them from the
other side with an M22 nut each.
Attaching the drive shaft protective cap, Fig. 4
Place the drive shaft protective cap on the protruding threaded recei-
vers at the drive shaft and secure it with both M10 nuts.
Attaching the operating handles, Fig. 5
For packaging reasons, you have to attach the left operating handle
yourself. You can use the already attached operating handle and
Figure 5 as an example.
Attaching the supporting arm, Fig. 6
Secure the supporting arm with a hexagon bolt M10x40, two washers
and a nut.
Attaching the hook, Fig. 7
Attach the hook on the frame with 3 hexagon bolts and 3 nuts.
Attaching the log lifter, Fig. 7
Attach the log lifter on the fixing bracket with 1 hexagon bolt M16x100.
Hook the chain onto the splitting blade.
Putting the splitter into the work position, Fig. 12
Connect the splitter to the mains power.
Be aware of the motor's direction of rotation.
Lower both control handles until the cylinder engages with the guide.
Insert the two L-pins to secure the cylinder on the kindling splitter.

Secure the L-pins in the spring tabs. Then bring the splitting blade to
the top position and remove the support. You must store the support
safely because it is needed every time the splitter is transported.
Commissioning with e-motor
Make sure the machine is completely and expertly assembled.
Check before every use:
•
The connection cables for any defective spots (cracks, cuts etc.).
•
The machine for any possible damage.
•
The firm seat of all bolts.
•
The hydraulic system for leakage.
•
The oil level.
•
that the guides on the splitting column are lubricated with grease.
Check the running direction of the motor. If the splitting arm is not
in the top position, bring the splitting blade in the top position, using
the return bracket or handles. If the splitting arm is already in the top
position, activate the splitting mechanism by moving both levers down.
This will move the splitting arm down.
If the splitting blade does not move despite activation of the handles or
return bracket, immediately turn off the machine.
Turn the pole reversing unit in the plug-in module (Fig. 8) to change
the rotational direction of the motor.
Never let the motor run in the wrong direction! This will inevitab-
ly destroy the pump system and no warranty claim can be made.
Warning!
Loosen the filling screw (Fig. 16) before commissioning.
Never forget to loosen the filling screw!
Otherwise, the air in the system will constantly be compressed
and decompressed with the result that the seals of the hydraulic
circuit will be destroyed
and the wood splitter can no longer be used. In this case, the sel-
ler and the manufacturer will not be liable to warranty services.
Switching on and off
Press the green button for switching on.
Press the red button for switching off.
Note: Check the function of the ON/OFF unit before every use by
switching on and off once.
Restarting safety in case of current interruption (no-volt release)
In case of current failure, inadvertent pulling of the plug, or a defective
fuse, the machine is switched off automatically.
For switching on again, press anew the green button of the switch unit.
Machine modifications of any kind are prohibited!
•
Before maintenance work or if the riving knife is jammed, discon-
nect the machine from the mains.
Never leave the machine unsupervised if it is connected to the
mains!
Commissioning with drive shaft
Make sure the machine is completely assembled according to
stipulations. Check the following before every use:
•
the connection cable for defects (tears, cuts and similar),
•
the machine for possible damage,
•
whether all fixings are tight,
•
the hydraulics for leaks,
•
the oil level and
•
that the guides on the splitting column are lubricated with grease.
•
Before connecting the machine to the three-point linkage of the
traction unit, ensure that the traction unit is suitable for the weight
of the machine. The weight of the machine can be seen on the
manufacturer's rating plate.
