Never use the machine with a power supply cable of over
10 m in length. Longer power supply cables will cause a
drop in voltage. The motor will not be able to provide its
maximum performance and the operation of the machine
will be impaired.
Plugs and coupler outlets on connection cables must be
made of rubber, plasticised PVC or other thermoplastic
material of same mechanical stability or be covered with
this material.
The connector of the connection cable must be splash-
proof.
When running the connection line observe that it does
not interfere, is not squeezed, bended and the plug
connection does not get wet.
Wind off completely the cable when using a cable drum.
Do not use the cable for purposes for which it is not
meant. Protect the cable against heat, oil and sharp
edges. Do not use the cable to pull the plug from the
socket.
Regularly check the extension cables and replace them
if they are damaged.
Do not use any defective connection cables.
When working outdoors, only use extension cables
especially approved and appropriately labelled for
outdoor use.
Do not set up any provisional electrical connections.
Never bypass protective devices or deactivate them.
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. 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.

Move the splitting
blade right down every
time before the machine
is transported.
To
transport
the
machine,
grasp
the
handle and tilt the log
splitter slightly towards
you. The log splitter can
be easily transported in
this position.
Make sure that the oil
tank cap is securely
tightened to prevent oil from leaking during transport.

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 log splitter, make sure each time that
there are no faulty connections (tears, cuts, etc.)
−
Do not use defective power supply cables.
there are no damages at the machine
−
all screws are tight
−
check the hydraulic system for any possible leaks
−
the oil level
−
Venting: Vent the hydraulic system before putting the
−
log splitter into operation.
Unscrew venting cap by several turns so that air may
escape from the oil tank.
Leave the cap open during operation.
Close the venting cap before moving the log splitter,
as otherwise oil will leak at this point.
Oil tank cap
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 cross-
sections.
Connect the machine via a 30 mA fault current safety
switch.
Fuse protection
230 V ~
16 A time-lag
400 V 3~

If the hydraulic
system is not vented,
the trapped air will
damage the seals and
cause permanent
damage to the log
splitter.
