The log splitter will freeze upon absence of either
hand.
Never force your machine for more than 5 seconds by
keeping pressure on it to split excessively hard wood.
After this time interval, the oil under pressure will be
overheated and the machine could be damaged. For
such extremely hard log, rotate it by 90° to see wheth-
er it can be split in a different direction. In any case,
if you are not able to split the log, this means that its
hardness exceeds the capacity of the machine and
thus should be discarded to protect the log splitter.
10.4 Hoist limiting
It is reasonable to limit the hoist of the pressure plate
(10) for short splitting material. Thereto press the con-
trol lever (12) and the release button (6) and let the
pressure plate (10) move just in front of the splitting
material.
Release the release button now and mount the hoist
limiting ring (7a) to the housing and tighten it. After-
wards you can release the hydraulics lever.
The pressure plate will now be resting in the selected
position.
10.5 Wrongly placed log (Fig. 11)
Always set logs firmly on the log retaining plates and
work table. Make sure logs will not twist, rock or slip
while being split. Do not force the blade by splitting
logs on the upper part. This will break the blade or
damage the machine.
Do not attempt to split 2 pieces of logs at the same
time. One of them may fly up and hit you.
10.6 Jammed log (Fig. 12 + 13)
Do not try to knock the jammed log off. Knocking
about will damage the machine or may launch the log
and cause accident.
1. Release both controls.
2. After the log pusher moves back and completely
stops at its starting position, insert a wedge wood
under the jammed log (see figure 15).
3. Start the log splitter to push the wedge wood un-
der the jammed one.
4. Repeat above procedure with sharper slope
wedge woods until the log is completely freed.

11. Electrical connection

The electrical motor installed is connected and ready
for operation. The connection complies with the ap-
plicable VDE and DIN provisions.
The customer's mains connection as well as the ex-
tension cable used must also comply with these reg-
ulations.

Damaged electrical connection cable
The insulation on electrical connection cables is of-
ten damaged.
This may have the following causes:
• Passage points, where connection cables are
passed through windows or doors.
• Kinks where the connection cable has been im-
properly fastened or routed.
• Places where the connection cables have been cut
due to being driven over.
• Insulation damage due to being ripped out of the
wall outlet.
• Cracks due to the insulation ageing.
Such damaged electrical connection cables must not
be used and are life-threatening due to the insula-
tion damage.
Check the electrical connection cables for damage
regularly. Make sure that the connection cable does
not hang on the power network during the inspection.
Electrical connection cables must comply with the
applicable VDE and DIN provisions. Only use con-
nection cables with the marking „H07RN".
The printing of the type designation on the connec-
tion cable is mandatory.
For single-phase AC motors, we recommend a fuse
rating of 16A (C) or 16A (K) for machines with a high
starting current (starting from 3000 watts)!
AC motor 230 V/ 50 Hz
Mains voltage 230 Volt / 50 Hz.
• The mains connection and the extension cable
have to be three-core cables = P + N + SL. - (1/N/
PE).
• Extension cables must have a minimum cross-sec-
tion of 1.5 mm².
• Mains fuse protection is 16 A maximum.

12. Cleaning

m ATTENTION!
Pull out the power plug before carrying out any clean-
ing work on the equipment.
We recommend that you clean the equipment imme-
diately after you use it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a damp cloth and
some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or sol-
vents; these may be aggressive to the plastic parts in
the equipment. Ensure that no water can get into the
interior of the equipment.
