When connecting to the mains or relocating the machine, check the
direction of rotation (swap polarity in the wall socket if necessary).
Turn pole inverter in the machine socket.

The product meets the requirements of EN 61000-3-11 and is
subject to special connection conditions. This means that use
of the product at any freely selectable connection point is not
allowed.
•
Given unfavorable conditions in the power supply the product can
cause the voltage to fluctuate temporarily.
•
The product is intended solely for use at connection points that
a) do not exceed a maximum permitted supply impedance "Z", or
b) have a continuous current-carrying capacity of the mains of at
least 100 A per phase.
•
As the user, you are required to ensure, in consultation with your
electric power company if necessary, that the connection point
at which you wish to operate the product meets one of the two
requirements, a) or b), named above.
Maintenance
Switch off the motor and pull the power supply plug before undertak-
ing any converting, maintenance, or cleaning work.
lways pull power plug.
Skilled craftsmen can execute smaller repairs on the machine them-
selves.
Repair and maintenance work on the electrical system may only
be carried out by an electrician.
All protection and safety devices must be replaced immediately after
completing repair and maintenance procedures.
We recommend:
•
Thoroughly clean the machine after every use!
•
Splitting knife
The splitting knife is a wearing part that should be reground or
replaced by a new one, if necessary.
•
Two-hand control
The combined supporting and control unit must be kept easy-
going. Occasionally grease with a few drops of oil.
•
Moving parts
- Keep splitting knife guides clean from dirt, wood chips, bark etc
- Lubricate slide rails with spray oil or grease several times per
day. Never work with dry rails.

Checking the hydraulic oil level
The dipstick (Fig. 16+17) is on the filling screw.
Changing the oil
First oil change after 50 operating hours, then every 500 operating
hours.
Checking the oil level
Check the oil level regularly and before each use. If the oil level is too
low, the oil pump can be damaged.
Regularly check the hydraulic connections and screw fittings for leaks
and tighten or replace, if applicable.
Note: The oil level has to be checked when the splitting blade is
retracted. The dipstick is located on the splitting column on the filling
screw (Fig. 16+17) and has two notches on it. If the oil level is at the
lower notch, then this corresponds to the minimum oil level. If this is
the case, you must put in oil immediately. The upper notch shows the
maximum oil level. The oil tank is in the splitting column and has been
filled by the factory with premium quality hydraulic oil.
Changing the hydraulic oil, Fig. 15
Position the kindling splitter on a slightly raised surface (e.g. euro
pallet). Place a sufficiently large container (at least 18 litres) under the
drain plug on the splitting column. Open the drain plug and carefully
let the oil run into the container.
Open the filling screw on the top of the splitting column so the oil can
drain more easily. Replace the drain plug and its seal and tighten it.
Pour in fresh hydraulic oil (Contents: see Technical data) and check
the oil level with the dipstick. After changing the oil, operate the kin-
dling splitter a few times without actually splitting.
Warning! Ensure that no debris gets into the oil container.
Dispose of the used oil in a correct manner at a public collection
facility. It is prohibited to drop old oil on the ground or to mix it
with waste. We recommend the following hydraulic oils:
Q8 Haydn 46
Aral Vitam gf 22
BP Energol HLP-HM 22
Mobil DTE 11
Shell Tellus 22
or oils of same quality.
Do not use any other types of oil as they would influence the func-
tion of the hydraulic cylinder.
Changing the transmission oil, Fig. 18
The transmission has been filled with SAE90 transmission oil by the
factory. After the first 25 operating hours, drain the transmission oil
and replace it as described with new oil. The next oil changes will then
need to be carried out every 250 operating hours or every six months,
depending on which happens first.
1.
Disassemble the drive shaft protective cap and place a sufficiently
large container under the transmission.
2.
First open the oil drain plug (Fig. 18.3), then the oil filler opening
(Fig. 18.1) and completely drain the oil.
3.
Close the oil drain plug with a new seal and, using a funnel, pour
in new SAE90 transmission oil into the filler opening until the
lower edge of the display (Fig. 18.2) is almost covered in oil.
Check the oil level every 8 hours. The oil level is correct when the
lower edge of the display (Fig. 18.2) is almost covered in oil.
Hydraulic system
Die Hydraulikanlage ist ein geschlossenes System mit Öltank, Öl-
pumpe und Steuerventil. Das werksseitig komplettierte System darf
nicht verändert oder manipuliert werden. Before undertaking any
maintenance or checking work, the working area must be cleaned.
Keep the necessary tools within the reach of your hand. The intervals
mentioned herein are based on normal conditions of use. An exces-
sive use of the machine shortens the intervals accordingly. Clean the
panels, screens and control levers with a soft cloth. The cloth should
be dry or slightly humid with a neutral cleaning agent. Do not use any
solvents like alcohol or benzene as they could damage the surfaces.
Store oil and grease outside the reach of unauthorized personnel.
Strictly follow the instructions on the bins. Avoid direct contact with the
skin. Rinse well after use.
Maintenance and repairs
All servicing jobs must be executed by specialized personnel under
strict observation of the present operating instructions. Before every
work, every possible caution must be taken: Switch off the mo-
tor, disconnect the power supply (pull the plug, if necessary).
Attach a board to the machine explaining the reason for being out
of order: "Machine out of order due to servicing work: Unauthorized
people must not come close to the machine or switch it on."
