Working With The Log Splitter - ATIKA ASP 10 N - 400 Notice Originale

Switching on / off
Prior to every use, check the function of the disconnection
mechanism (by switching on and off).
Do not use any device where the switch can not be switched
on and off. Damaged switches must be repaired or replaced
immediately by the customer service.
Lock in case of power (zero-voltage
initiator)
The equipment will switch off automatically if there is a power cut.
Repress the green button to switch it on again.
Log splitter with 400 V 3~
Make sure that the motor turns in the
correct direction (see motor arrow), because operation in the
wrong direction damages the oil pump.
Switch on motor; the splitting blade automatically moves to the
highest position.
If the splitting blade is already in its highest position: grip both
operating handles and push them down. The splitting blade
moves downwards.
If the splitting blade does not move after the motor has started,
switch off the motor and change the direction of rotation.
You can change the
direction by placing a
screw-driver in the slot
provided in the plug
collar, and adjust the
correct direction by
moving to the left or
right applying slight
pressure.
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: approx. 9.5 litres
Switching on
Press the green button.

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.
The machine should only be used for splitting logs with a
maximum length of 1300 mm.
Check before splitting if the splitting column has been
sufficiently lubricated to allow its trouble-free retraction and
extension.
What type of logs can I split?
Size of logs
Length: max. 1300 mm
Diameter: min. 50 – max. 400 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.
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!
Operation
Two-hand operation
Never operate the log splitter with two people.
Never block the control handles (clamping claws).
1. Press the green 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.
Check the direction of the motor in the log splitter with
threephase motor (400 V 3~), because operation in the wrong
direction damages the oil pump.
At temperatures below –5° C, let the log splitter run for at
least 15 min. in neutral to heat up the oil.
2. Place the log on the log splitter table.
Only split the logs in the direction of the wood fibres.
3. Hold the log tight with the clamping claws.
