4.4- Electrical requirements
With a 230V~ 50Hz motor, the log splitter should be connected to standard 230V10% (50Hz1Hz).
The mains connection should be fused for a maximum of 16A.
The electrical supply must be fitted with protection devices of under-voltage, over-voltage, and
over-current as well as a residual current device (RCD), which maximum residual current rated at
0.03A.
Electrical connection rubber cables must comply with EN60245 which are always marked with
H07RN, and with cross section greater than 2.5mm

4.5- Bleed the air
Always open the air bleed valve before starting operating the log splitter.
Loosen the cap (A) by a few turns, so that air can escape
from the oil tank.
Always leave the cap opened during operation.
Tighten the cap (A) after finishing operation.
Close the cap before moving the machine otherwise oil
may leak.
Note: if the hydraulic system is not vented, the trapped air
will damage the seals and thus the log splitter.
4.6- Moving the Log Splitter
Before moving or transporting the log splitter, unplug it from the mains power supply.
Make sure the oil cap (A) is securely tightened.
Make sure the oil drain screw is securely tightened.
Make sure the cylinder in brought downwards to transport position.
By hand
WARNING: The log splitter is very heavy, do NOT move by hand if you are not physically strong
enough, as machine falling, or tipping over may cause considerable damage and severe injury!!
The log splitter is equipped with 2 wheels for minor moving.
To move the log splitter to the work area, grip the handle and slightly incline the log splitter backwards
until it tilts onto the wheels and thus can be moved.
The wheels are not intended to transport or tow the log splitter over long distance.
Do not tow on open road.
Do not use the log splitter to transport persons/animals or objects.
