Remove the plug from the power socket before
starting any maintenance or cleaning work.
Wear protective gloves in order to avoid injury to the
hands.
Observe the following in order to keep the log splitter in
good working order:
Clean the machine thoroughly after you have
finished using it.
Remove any resin remains on the machine.
Lubricate the splitting column regularly or oil it using
environmentally friendly spray oil.
Check the oil level and change the oil as necessary.
Check hydraulic hoses and hose connections
regularly for any leaks and firm fitting.
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. Now remove
the dipstick.
2. Clean the dipstick and the
oil seal.
3. Replace the dipstick fully into
the oil reservoir.
4. Now remove the dipstick
again and read off the oil
level.

If the oil level is between the two marking on the oil
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 damaged in any
way.
7. Replace the dipstick into the oil reservoir.
When should I change the oil?
The first oil change should be carried out after 50
operating hours, and then every 500 operating hours.
Two persons are required for this.
Changing the oil:
1. The splitting column must be in run-in state.
2. Now remove the dipstick.
3.
Place a container under the log splitter to catch the old
oil. The container should have a capacity of at least
10 litres.
4.
Screw off the drain plug to allow the oil to flow out.
5.
Insert the seal and drain plug again.
6.
Pour in the new hydraulic oil (approx. 9.5 litres) using a
clean funnel.
7.
Clean the dipstick and the oil seal.
8.
Check the oil seal and replace it if it is damaged in any
way.
9.
Replace the dipstick.
