Warning! Do not adjust the adjusting screw for max-
imum pressure. The maximum pressure is set at the factory.
The adjusting screw is sealed to make sure that the splitting
force does not exceed 7 tonnes. If this
adjustment is changed there is a risk of serious personal in-
jury and/or material damage. There is risk that the hydraulic
pump does not give the correct pressure.

Make sure that the temperature in the work area is
from 5 to 40°C.
2
Make sure that the work area is maximum 1000m
over the sea level and that the relative humidity is
less than 50% at 40°C.
3
Loosen the vent screw and let air flow in and out of
