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 1050 mm.
Check before splitting if the splitting column has
been sufficiently lubricated to allow its trouble-free
retraction and extension.
You can change the
direction by placing a
screwdriver in the slot
provided in the plug
collar, and adjust the
correct direction by
moving to the left or
right applying slight
pressure.

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.
− logs with a diameter of over 300 mm can be split if the
fibres are smooth and open.
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.
