Function Test
Before every use you should conduct a function test.
Action:
Pressing both handles
down.
Releasing either handle.
Releasing both handles.
Operating Instructions
Travel limit
• Move the splitting knife into the desired position.
• Release one control lever,
• Switch motor off,
• Release second control lever,
• Move the travel adjustment bar up until it is under
tension and fasten it with the tommy screw.
• Switch motor on, and
• Check upper position.
Splitting
Place the wood on the table and hold it down with
•
the two handles. Push the handles down. Once the
splitting knife enters the wood, push the handles
outward and with an equal amount of pressure
downward. This prevents the pressure from being
placed on the holding arms.
Only split squarely cut logs.
•
Split logs in upright position.
•
Never in horizontal position or across.
•
Wear appropriate gloves while splitting logs.
•
Attention: When operating the machine the pivoting
table must always be in the locked position!
Pivoting table for short pieces of wood up to 60
cm, Fig. 3.1
In order to split wood, both of the pivoting tables must
be in the operating position and locked.
Pivoting table for wood up to 96,5 cm, Fig. 3.2
In order to split wood of this length, the lower pivoting
table must be in the operating position and locked.
Table for long pieces of wood up to 104/133 cm,
Fig. 3.3
In order to split wood of this length, both pivoting
tables must be swung outward.
Efficient working
- upper position is approx. 5 cm above the log
- lower position is approx. 5 cm above the table
Start-Up
When working at temperatures less than 5°C, the
machine should be operated ca. 15 minutes without
a load, so the hydraulic oil can warm up.
Make sure that the machine is completely and prop-
erly assembled. Before every use, check:
• the power cords for faults (cracks, cuts and such),
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
Result:
The splitting knife moves
down - as far as approx.
5 cm above the table.
The splitting knife stays
in its position.
The splitting knife moves
back into top position.
• the machine for possible damages,
• if all bolts are fastened tightly,
• the hydraulic system for leaks, and
• the oil level.
Power on/off
Press the green button to power on.
Press the red button to power off.
Note: Check the function of the on/off-unit before
every use by switching it on and off once.
Restart cut-out in case of power failures (zero
voltage switch)
In case of a power failure, unintentionally pulling the
power plug or a defect fuse, the machine will auto-
matically switch off. To restart the machine press the
green button on the switchbox again.
m Electrical Connection
Inspect the power cords for damages regularly. Make
sure that during this inspection the power cord is not
connected to the mains supply.
The power cords must comply with the applicable
VDE (German Association for Electrical, Electronic,
and Information Technologies) and DIN (German
Institute for Standardization) regulations. Use only
power cords with the designation H 07 RN.
A type label on the power cord is prescribed.
Faulty power cords
Power cords often suffer insulation damages.
Causes are:
• Pinching, when power cords are routed through
windows or door cracks.
• Bending due to improper attachment or routing of
the power cords.
• Cuts due to driving over the power cords.
• Insulation damages caused by yanking it out of the
power outlet.
• Cracks in the insulation because of ageing.
Such faulty power cords must not be used and are,
due to the damaged insulation, a danger to life!
Three-phase motor 400 V/ 50 Hz
Power supply 400 volts / 50 Hz.
Power cord and extension cord must have 5 conduc-
tors = 3 P + N + PR. - (3/N/PE).
The extension wires must have a cross-section of
at least 2.5 mm² and must not be longer than 20 m.
The power supply must be protected by a 16 A (or
less) circuit breaker.
After connecting the power supply or after relocat-
ing, check the direction of rotation. Invert polarity if
necessary.
Turn the polarity inverter inside the power plug.
Maintenance
Always switch motor off for retooling, adjustment, and
cleaning.
Pull power plug.
Minor repairs can be carried out by skilled workmen
themselves.
Repairs and maintenance work at the electrical
installation must be carried out by qualified elec-
tricians!
