2. Fasten the table in the top position.
3. Switch on the device and continue the splitting
operation.
Never try to split two logs at once.
Never try to remove or replace the log during the splitting
process.
Never try to force the splitting of the log by maintaining
the pressure for several seconds. This can lead to damage to
the machine.
Position the log on the table again and repeat the splitting
phase, or put the log on one side.
How to release a jammed log?
There is a risk of knotted logs getting stuck during the
splitting process.
1. Switch machine off and disconnect the power.
2. Carefully move the stuck log backwards and forwards to
loosen it.
Never hammer on the stuck log.
Never use a saw to cut the stuck log out of the machine.
Do not enlist the aid of a second person - this is a one-
man job.
Finishing work:
Bring the splitting blade to the lower position (run-in
state).
Release one of the control handles.
Switch the machine off and disconnect the power.
Follow the care and maintenance instructions.

Sharpening the splitting blade
After longer operating periods, for reduced splitting
performance or slight deformation of the cutting edge, grind
the splitting blade or sharpen it with a fine file (remove burrs).

How do I check the oil level?
1. The
splitting
column must be in
run-in state.
2. Now remove the
dipstick.
3. Clean the dipstick
and the oil seal.
4. Replace
the
dipstick fully into
the oil reservoir.
5. Now remove the
dipstick
again,
and read off the
oil level.

If the oil level is between the two marking on the
dipstick, there is sufficient oil in the reservoir.
If the oil level is below the lower marking, more oil
should be added with the aid of a clean funnel.
6. Check the oil
seal and replace
it if it is dama-
ged in any way.
7. Replace
the
dipstick into the
oil reservoir.
