means of transportation positioned to one side.
2. Prepare the trunks for splitting. This splitter
can hold trunks with a maximum length of 1040
mm and a maximum diameter of 320 mm. If you
cut branches or large logs, never cut any lengths
which exceed those specified. Never attempt to
split fresh trunks. Dried timber which has been in
storage is much easier to split than fresh (moist)
wood and will not stick so often.
3. Lay out the power cable. Make sure that you
have a suitable socket outlet available and, if
necessary, a suitable extension cable.
4. Stand the splitter securely in an upright
position. The wood splitter may only be placed
on a firm, flat surface. We recommend that you
use a concrete or paved surface and that you
chock the wheels. The wood splitter may only be
operated at ground level. Do not place any
material under the wood splitter to adjust the
height of the machine or to attempt to improve its
stability. If the wood splitter is on an angle and/or
wobbly, move it to a different location. Do not
operate the machine on soft surfaces such as a
lawn or gravel since the machine could sink or tip
over during operation.
5. Ventilate. The ventilation screw (Fig. 33 / Item
A) must always be undone during operation
to ensure that the machine operates
correctly. Undo the ventilation screw by two
to three turns before you start the machine
and then tighten it again after using the wood
splitter.
6. Place the trunk in the wood splitter. Only
wood that has flat edges can be split in the
machine. Position the trunk you wish to split
vertically and centrally on the trunk support so
that the splitter is over the center of the trunk.
Adjust the trunk holding plates using the knurled
screws so that the trunk can be held perfectly.
Never attempt to split a piece of wood that is not
secure, to split it at an angle or to split wood with
angled edges. This can result in injury to the user
and damage to the machine.
7. Two-hand operation. Switch on the machine
using the green ON switch (Fig. 28 / Item A).
Move the cover over the ON/OFF switch (Fig.
29) to ensure that the Emergency Stop function
is active. Wait a few seconds whilst the electric
motor gets up to speed and the required
pressure builds up in the hydraulic pump. The
machine is ready for use when the splitter is fully
extended.
Proceed as follows to split the trunk
Press the control levers together so that the
trunk you wish to split is held secured by the
trunk holding plates (Fig. 30)
Now push the two control levers down at the
same time (Fig. 31). The splitter moves
downwards and presses the wood you wish to
split against the trunk support, splitting it as it
does so. When the trunk has been split, release
the control levers and the splitter will move
upwards again.
Important. Continue to hold the split wood with
the trunk holding plates. It may be that long
pieces of wood will not be split completely and
will therefore move upwards with the splitter.
These pieces of wood must therefore be split in
several stages. You can start, for example, with
the trunk support at its lowest position (Fig. 22 /
Item C), continue by splitting the wood in the
central position (Fig. 22 / Item B) and then finish
splitting the wood with the trunk support in its
highest position (Fig. 22 / Item A).
Switch off the machine at the red OFF switch (Fig. 28
/ Item B) after completing the work or to adjust the
trunk support.
Important!
If the trunk fails to split immediately, never
attempt to force it to split by maintaining the
pressure for more than a few seconds. This may
damage the machine. It is far more advisable to
try and reposition the trunk on the splitter or to
remove the trunk altogether and place it to one
side.
8. Stack while you are working. By doing this you
will make sure that you have a safe area in which
to work because you will keep it clear of
obstacles and prevent any risk of tripping over or
of the power cable becoming damaged.
9. Do not forget to retighten the ventilation
screw (Fig. 33/Item A) when you have
finished your splitting work.
Releasing a jammed trunk
1. Retract the splitter fully.
2. Position a wedge-shaped piece of wood on the
trunk support.
3. Move the splitter downwards. The jammed trunk
will be pushed forward by the wedge-shaped
piece of wood.
4. Repeat this process with larger and larger
wedges until the jammed is released.
Important!
Never hammer against the stuck trunk or place
your hands anywhere near the trunk when trying
to release it.
