Attachment / Before Starting The Equipment; Initial Operation - Scheppach HL460 Traduction Des Instructions D'origine

9. Attachment / Before starting the
equipment
At least two people are required to install the
device.
9.1 Installing the handle (4) (enclosed accesso-
ries bag a) (fig. 3)
Fasten the handle to the U-bar with two cylindrical
screws.
9.2 Installing the protective guard (L) (enclosed
accessories bag b) (fig. 4 + 5)
1. Fit the protective guard (L) to the trunk guide plate
(5) and use the enclosed cylindrical screws and
nuts to affix it.
2. Undo the cylindrical screw with washer that is lo-
cated on the wheel bracket.
3. Fasten the other end of the strut to the protective
guard using the Phillips head screw and nut. (3)
4. Now guide the open end of the strut (O) between
the washer and the wheel bracket, tighten the cy-
lindrical screw (4) again firmly.
9.4 Installing the tray table (K + M) (enclosed ac-
cessories bag c + d + e) (fig. 6 + 7 + 8)
1. Attach the tray table (K) to the same side as the
protective guard (L). Use two cylindrical screws and
spring washers to affix the table to the log splitter. (1)
2. Ensure that the table and the protective guard are
level in relation to each other.
3. Undo the screw on the left of the foot.
4. Fasten the other end of the strut to the protective
guard using the Phillips head screw and nut, align
everything and tighten the screws firmly.
5. Now guide the open end of the strut (N) between the
screw and the foot bracket, tighten the screw slightly.
6. Repeat the process on the other side.
7. Align both tables in relation to each other and use
the Phillips head screws and nuts (e) to affix them.
9.5 Installing the guard (E - J) (enclosed
accessories bag f) (fig. 9 + 10)
1. Connect the guards (H) and (I) together, use two
Phillips head screws, clamping brackets and nuts
to affix it.
2. Fasten the guards (H, I, J) to the holes provided
for this. These are on the side of the table and
the protective guard. Fasten the guard with seven
Phillips head screws, clamping brackets and nuts.
Fit the protective guard (G) to the control lever
protection (11) and use a Phillips head screw and
a nut to affix it.
3. Now fasten the guards (E + F) on the top. Fasten
them with eight Phillips head screws, clamping
brackets and nuts.
4. Fasten the guards (E + F) together using two
Phillips head screws, clamping brackets and nuts.

m IMPORTANT!
You must fully assemble the appliance before using it
for the first time!

10. Initial operation

Before start-up, place the splitter on a stable, level
and flat workbench so that the splitter tray table sits
at a height of 72 - 85 cm. If the machine should slip
during splitting work, fasten it to the table with two
screws (M8 x X = thickness of the table). To do so,
use the two holes on the foot (16).
Make sure the machine is completely and expertly
assembled. 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 and
• the safety devices
10.1 Checking the oil level (Fig. 15)
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. 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 in-
dicates the maximum oil level. The machine must
be on level ground. Screw in the oil dipstick fully, to
measure the oil level.
10.2 Ventilation screw
Before operating your machine, the bleed screw (7)
should be loosened by some rotations until air can go
in and out of the oil tank smoothly. Failed to loosen the
bleed screw will keep the sealed air in hydraulic sys-
tem being compressed after being decompressed.
Such continuous compression/decompression will
blow out the seals of the hydraulic system and cause
permanent damage to your machine. Before moving
your machine, make sure the bleed screw is tight-
ened to avoid oil leaking from this point.
10.3 Splitting logs
Only split logs that have been sawn off straight. To do
this, proceed as follows:
1. Place the log plain onto the work table (9).
2. Your machine is equipped with Two-hands Con-
trol System that requires to be operated by both
hands of the user – left hand controls the control
lever (12) while right hand controls the push but-
ton switch (6).
3. Simultaneously push button switch (6) to start the
splitting action.
