Operation
Note: The log splitter may only be used by one person!
Follow the following procedure:
1. Check that the log splitter is stably placed on a firm surface.
2. Put the beam in a vertical position by loosening and removing the locking pin and
carefully tipping the base plate down towards the ground. Remember to lock the
beam again with the locking pin.
NOTE: The log splitter can only be used in a vertical position.
3. Start the engine (see instructions in separate engine operating instructions).
4. Place a piece of wood in the center of the base plate of the log splitter.
5. Activate the control levers A and B with both hands by pressing them down. It causes
the piston with the wedge to run down towards the piece of wood. If one or both
control levers are released, the wedge stops in the position in which it is located.
6. Let the wedge run down until the wood divides into two parts and release the handles.
7. Push up the right control handle A, which causes the wedge to return.
The log splitter can provide a pressure of approx. 20 tons, which is more than
enough to split most wood, even wood that has been stored for time. In the rare
cases that the machine cannot split a very hard piece of wood, do not press the
cylinder for more than 30 seconds, as the hydraulic oil can otherwise overheat and
cause damage to the hydraulic system. In such cases, release the piece of wood
and try splitting it in another position (e.g. turn it 90
o
) or skip it.
