ENGLISH
5.1.C - Switching on/off of the log splitter with premium graded fuel engine (CELTIS 100 B&S)
Set the switch (A in fig.8a, page 3) on the right of the motor to "ON".
•
Switching on: Turn the throttle control knob (C in fig.8b, page 3) to "CHOKE" if the engine is cold or to "RUN" if the engine is still warm.
•
Move the accelerator knob (D in fig.8c, page 3) completely to the left (tortoise).
•
Grasp the engine start-up knob (B in fig.8a) and holding it tightly pull it firmly. Repeat this operation until the engine starts. During this phase, be very
careful not to slip or cause injuries or distortions. Once the engine is running, the telescopic mast moves to the fully open position.
•
Slowly move the accelerator knob (D in fig.8c) to the right (hare).
•
After a few minutes from cold starting, move the throttle control knob (C in fig.8b) from "CHOKE" to "RUN".
•
Use the log splitter as explained in par. 5.2.
•
If you are leaving the log splitter unattended or if you have finished working, switch off the log splitter using the switch A in fig.8a.
WARNING
When working and after switching off the log splitter, never touch any part of the engine as this could cause burns. After
switching off the machine, wait until the engine has cooled before performing any operation.
Refer to the attached manual for any other information regarding the BRIGGS & STRATTON engine.

5.2 - How to use log splitter

•
Place the log on the work surface making sure it is centered under the wedge. The two faces of the log must be parallel to each other and to the
work surface to guarantee safe operation.
•
Working in the mandatory position only (11 in fig.1 page 2), grasp the log with the levers of the two hands control so that the jaws penetrate slightly
into the bark and then lower the levers (fig.9a, page 3); the wedge will start to cut into the log.
Note: As soon as the wedge starts to split the log, widen the arms of the ZHB control slightly (fig.9b, page 3) continuing to
press the levers down so that the force applied does not damage the jaws.
•
If the log does not split quickly or if the wedge stops, do not keep the machine under force. It is advisable to return the mast to the idle position and
to make another attempt after rotating the log.
•
Repeat the operation with the pieces obtained so as to split the log into several parts.
Note: If you let go of even just one of the levers, the machine will stop in the position reached. If you let go of both levers, the
telescopic mast will move to the fully open position.

5.3 - Movable table

The movable table can be removed and placed as required in 3 different positions (fig.10a, 10b and 10c, page 3) to split logs as long as 107 cm. Varying
the position of the table, it varies the log capacity of the machine, with no changing of the blade stroke.
After the table has been fully inserted into the chosen slot, secure it with the appropriate lever (fig.11, page 3).
WARNING
Do not work if the table is not correctly inserted or if it has not been secured with the lever.
Serious accidents, injury to persons and damage to the log splitter itself can be caused by working with the table not correctly
inserted or not secured.

5.4 - How to adjust blade stroke

To save time, a system has been designed that makes it possible to adjust wedge travel so that this can be set for short logs. In this way, the wedge travels
for the distance required only. After checking the length of the longest logs to be split, regulate wedge travel as follows:
•
Start the log splitter and bring the wedge to the position required. Release one of machine control levers so that the wedge stops in the selected
position.
•
With your other hand, loosen the wing nut (1 in fig.12, page 3).
•
Pull the rod (2 in fig.12) upward until it locks.
•
Retighten the wing nut (1) thoroughly.
The log splitter will now reposition at the point selected.

5.5 - How to transport the log splitter

Use the carrying handle on the top part of the mast (3 in fig.12, page 3) for safe, trouble-free transport of the log splitter.
•
Rest one foot on the base of the log splitter. Pull the handle, tilting the machine towards you to facilitate transport.
•
To rest the machine on the ground, put one foot on the base and lower the machine carefully.
