9. Attachment / Before starting the
equipment
9.1 Attaching the wheel axle and the wheels
(enclosed accessories bag a1) (fig. 3)
Slide the wheel axle through the holes on the bottom,
rear end of the splitter.
Fit the wheels onto the wheel axle and fasten each of
them with a split pin.
Then attach the wheel caps.
9.2 Putting the splitter into the work position
(Fig. 4, 5 + 6)
Connect the splitter to the mains. Observe the rota-
tional direction of the motor. Remove the pre-installed
pins from the cylinder guide. Lower the two control
handles until the cylinder latches into the guide. Now
re-fit the pins that were previously removed in order
to secure the cylinder on the firewood splitter. Secure
each of the pins with a spring split pin. After that, drive
the splitting blade to the top position and remove the
support.
You must store the support safely because it is
needed every time the splitter is transported.
9.3 Attaching the supporting arm (15) (Fig. 7)
Secure the retainer arm with the screw (b1).
9.4 Attaching the hook (D) (Fig. 8)
Fasten the retainer hook to the frame with two screws
(c1).
9.5 Attaching the log lifter(Fig. 9)
Fasten the trunk lifter to the retaining lug with the
screw (d1). Attach the chain (6) to the splitting blade.
9.6 Attaching the additional wheel (Fig. 10)
Attach the transport wheel as shown in Fig. 10. Fas-
ten the wheel in the top hole (a) or the bottom hole (b)
with the locking pin.
9.7 Moving the transport handle (5) to the trans-
port position (fig. 11)
The transport handle is already pre-mounted on the
splitter and is fastened in the working position. Loos-
en the pin and move the transport handle (5) down
until the pin can be inserted into the next hole to fix
the position of the transport handle. See steps 1 - 3.

m IMPORTANT!
You must fully assemble the appliance before using it
for the first time!
10. Initial operation
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.
• Functional check
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 regu-
larly before every use. Too low an oil level can dam-
age the oil pump. The level of oil must be checked
when the riving knife is pulled back. 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 indicates the maximum oil
level. The machine must be on level ground. Screw
in the oil dipstick fully, to measure the oil level.
E- Motor
Check the running direction of the motor. If the split-
ting arm is not in the top position, bring the splitting
blade in the top position, using the return bracket or
handles. If the splitting arm is already in the top posi-
tion, activate the splitting mechanism by moving both
levers down. This will move the splitting arm down. If
the splitting blade does not move despite activation of
the handles or return bracket, immediately turn off the
machine. Turn the pole reversing unit in the plug-in
module (Fig. 11 + 12) to change the rotational direc-
tion of the motor.
Never let the motor run in the wrong direction!
This will inevitably destroy the pump system and
no warranty claim can be made.
Functional test
Test the function before every use.
