1. Pull out spring (A) to release lock (B). Apply a thin film of grease to the points marked in the
sketch below. Then insert the lever and make sure that it has reached its intended end position
(C). Now, latch the lever by lock (B) and spring (A). Perform the same procedure for the other
lever.
2. You can set three different table positions
the table into one of the three fixtures (E) provided for this purpose and
lock it on eitheside.

Startup
Please follow the instructions given below before getting started:
The machine must be placed so as to be stable and secured against skidding. Provide sufficient
room around your log splitter so that you can safely operate it.
Ensure that no unauthorized persons (especially children) can approach your working area.
Prior to startup, all guards and safety devices must have been properly attached. Check whether
all screws, bolts, hydraulic couplings and pipe clamps have been properly tightened. Always make
sure before each starting that the hydraulic oil level is sufficient.
This machine must never be used when it is in an inoperable condition or needs some mainte-
nance. Before using this log splitter, get familiar with its controls and safety elements and with
how they work.
Make sure that the data indicated on the type label conform with your mains data before you
connect your log splitter.
Size of Logs (Fig. 3)
Choose your workplace in consideration
of your safety regulations. Keep your logs to
be split ready to hand. Remove the split logs
from the working area.
Before you split your logs, sort out those logs
which are longer than 104 cm. If you want to
split logs which are very big in diameter it is
recommended that they should not exceed a
maximum length of 100 cm. You can adjust
three different table heights (Fig. 3): 52 cm, 78 cm and 104 cm. Always choose the suitable
to be able to split logs of various lengths. Insert

If you use a crane to handle the log
splitter use a suitable lifting rope to
sling the housing and hoist the ma-
chine carefully. never hang the crane
hook into the transport handle.
I M P O R T A N T
Never try to split fresh wood.
dry wood is much easier to split than
fresh, wet logs. in addition, it does
not tend to get jammed during split-
ting so frequently.
