21.1.3 Fixing the log splitter (ZI-HS5TN only)
Operating the log splitter
21.1.4
Never press the log splitter for more than 5 seconds, as the oil under pressure will over-
heat, which may cause the blade to break or damage the machine.

Before putting the wood splitter into operation place it on a 72–
85 cm high, stable and level workbench and fasten the support
leg with two screws (M8x35) as shown in the picture on the left.
The log splitter is equipped with a two-hand
control. The left hand controls the hydraulic control
lever, the right hand the pressure switch (see
illustration on the left). If one hand is missing, the
log splitter "freezes".
The trigger-controlled locking device is de-
signed to prevent accidental lowering of the
hydraulic control lever.
To operate the hydraulic control lever, first
move it forwards and then pull the trigger
downwards with your index finger (Fig. left).
Only when both hands release the control el-
ements the log pusher automatically returns
to its starting position.
