m IMPORTANT!
You must fully assemble the appliance before using it
for the first time!
10. Initial operation
Make sure the machine is completely and expertly as-
sembled. Check before every use:
• The connection cables for any defective spots
(cracks, cuts etc.).
• The machine for any possible damage.
• The firm seat of all bolts.
• The hydraulic system for leakage.
• The oil level.
Checking the oil level
The hydraulic unit is a closed system with oil tank, oil
pump and control valve. Check the oil level regularly
before every use. Too low an oil level can damage
the oil pump. The level of oil must be checked when
the riving knife is pulled back. If the oil level is at the
lower notch, then the oil level is at a minimum. Should
this be the case, oil must be immediately added. The
upper notch indicates the maximum oil level. The ma-
chine must be on level ground. Screw in the oil dip-
stick fully, to measure the oil level.
E- Motor
Check the running direction of the motor. If the split-
ting arm is not in the top position, bring the splitting
blade in the top position, using the return bracket or
handles. If the splitting arm is already in the top posi-
tion, activate the splitting mechanism by moving both
levers down. This will move the splitting arm down. If
the splitting blade does not move despite activation of
the handles or return bracket, immediately turn off the
machine. Turn the pole reversing unit in the plug-in
module (Fig. 11 + 12) to change the rotational direc-
tion of the motor.

Never let the motor run in the wrong direction!
This will inevitably destroy the pump system and
no warranty claim can be made.

upper position.
Warning!
Loosen the filling screw (Fig. 19) before commis-
sioning.
Never forget to loosen the filling screw! Other-
wise, the air in the system will constantly be com-
pressed and decompressed with the result that
the seals of the hydraulic circuit will be destroyed
and the wood splitter can no longer be used. In
this case, the seller and the manufacturer will not
be liable to warranty services.
Switching on and off, (12)
Press the green button for switching on.
Press the red button for switching off.
Note: Check the function of the ON/OFF unit before
every use by switching on and off once.
Restarting safety in case of current interruption
(no-volt release).
In case of current failure, inadvertent pulling of the
plug, or a defective fuse, the machine is switched off
automatically.
For switching on again, press anew the green button
of the switch unit.
Drive shaft
• That the guides on the splitting column are lubricat-
ed with grease.
• Before connecting the machine to the three-point
linkage of the traction unit, ensure that the traction
unit is suitable for the weight of the machine. The
weight of the machine can be seen on the manufac-
turer's rating plate.
• After the traction unit's motor is turned off, connect
the drive shaft.
• Exclusively use approved drive shafts and those
that are suitable for use with the wood splitter. Fur-
thermore, the drive shaft must be equipped with all
safety devices which must be in a good condition.
• Don't stand close to the drive shaft when it is in
operation.
