Position the log splitter then on a work surface at a height of
about 60 – 75 cm.
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.

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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
additional
The log splitter may only be operated by a single person.
The machine may only be operated by persons over the age
of 18 years, and who have read and understood these
operating instructions.
Wear protective equipment (safety goggles/mask, gloves,
safety shoes) to protect yourself from possible injury.
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.
Split only timber which corresponds to the maximal length to
be worked with.
What type of logs can I split?
Size of logs
Length
Diameter
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.
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.
Hardwood tend to bursting: Exercise utmost caution!
