The electrical connection or repairs to electrical parts
of the machine must be carried out by a certified
electrician or one of our customer service points. Local
regulations – especially regarding protective measures –
must be observed.
Repairs to other parts of the machine must be carried
out by the manufacturer or one of his customer service
points.
Use only original spare parts, accessories and special
accessory parts. Accidents can arise for the user
through the use of other spare parts. The
manufacturer is not liable for any damage or injury
resulting from such action.

Check that the machine is completely and correctly
assembled.
Before using the shredder, make sure each time that
there are no faulty connections (tears, cuts, etc.)
−
there are no damage at the machine
−
all screws are tight
−
check the hydraulic system for any possible leaks
−
Mains connection
Compare the voltage given on the machine model plate
e.g. 230 V with the mains voltage and connect the
machine to the relevant and properly earthed plug.
Only use connection cables with sufficient diameters.
Connect the machine via a 30 mA fault current safety
switch.
Fuse protection: 16 A
Hydraulics
Never operate the machine in the event of any possible
danger from hydraulic fluid.
Ensure that the machine and working area are clean and
free of oil.
Danger of slippage or fire!
Check the hydraulic reservoir regularly to ensure that it
contains enough hydraulic oil (see "Care and
maintenance")
Capacity: 2.6 litres

Never try to split logs containing nails, wire or other similar
objects.
Already split wood and wood chips create a dangerous
working area. The operator may stumble, slip or fall.
Always keep the working area neat and tidy.
Never place the hands on or near any moving parts of the
machine when it is switched on. Maintain a safe distance
from the log, the ram
and the wedge in order to protect your hands from injury.
The machine should only be used for splitting logs with a
maximum length of 370 mm.
Positioning
Position the log splitter on a work surface at a height of about
60 – 75 cm, this will create an comfortable working position.
Place chocks under the wheels to prevent the machine rolling
during operation.
Ensure that the working area meets the following conditions:
− no danger of slipping
− level
− free of obstacles
− sufficiently well lit
Do not operate the machine in the direct vicinity of gas or
petrol pipes or containers, or any other easily inflammable
materials.
What type of logs can I split?
Size of logs
Length:
max. 370 mm
Diameter:
50 – 250 mm
The log diameter is a recommended guideline figure,
because:
− thin logs can be difficult to split if they contain knots or if
the fibres are too strong.
− logs with a diameter of over 250 mm can be split if the
fibres are smooth and open.
Do not try to split green logs. Dry logs are much easier to
split, and do not cause jams as often as green (damp) wood.
Operation
Two-hand operation
1. Press the ON/OFF switch on the electric motor. Wait a few
moments until the motor has reached its operating
revolutions and the required pressure has been built up in
the hydraulic pump – Fig. 1.
2. Press both operating handles down simultaneously –
Fig. 2.
The log ram pushes the log against the splitting
wedge, and the log will be split.
3. Release the operating handles. The log ram will now
return to its original starting position – Fig. 3.
