2.12 Application (Figs. 4 – 7)
1. To ensure longer life apply some
grease to the sliding surfaces of the
arm whenever you intend to use
this machine (Fig. 5).
2. Always lay the power cord so that it
cannot be damaged (by your work-
ing).
3. Open the vent plug. Open the hy-
draulic oil tank cap for a few turns
whenever you start your log split-
ter. Completely close the hydraulic
oil tank cap after work.
4. Check the running direction of the
motor. When you start the motor
the splitting blade will be automati-
cally moved to its topmost position.
If the splitting blade is already at its
topmost position press the two operating levers down to activate the splitting mechanism.
This will bring the splitting blade down. If the splitting blade does not move upward after
you have started the motor imme-
diately stop the machine. After
that, use a screwdriver to change
the polarity of the motor (Fig. 6). If
you have no adequate qualification
to do so contact an electrician un-
der any circumstances.
5. If you want to run this log splitter at very low temperatures run the machine idle for 15
min. before beginning to work to allow the hydraulic oil to warm up.
6. Prior to beginning your work, perform the following steps to check the functionality of your
log splitter.
a. Press both operating levers down. This must bring the splitting blade down. The
splitting blade must then come to a standstill some 5 cm above the topmost table
position.
b. If you release one of the two levers the splitting blade will stop at its current posi-
tion.
c. Releasing both levers will induce the splitting blade to automatically return to the
top.
7. To set the splitting blade follow the steps described below (Fig. 7):
a. Bring the splitting blade into the desired position. The topmost position of the split-
ting blade should then be some 3 – 5 cm above the log.
b. Release one of the operating levers or stop your log splitter.
c. Use a suitable tool to slacken star grip (A). Set the stroke adjusting rod so that it
will act as a stop at the desired position. After that, re-tighten star grip (A).
d. Release both operating levers or restart the motor
e. Check your newly set positions.
I M P O R T A N T
There is a vent plug at the machine front
side (Fig. 4). Every time you want to begin
your work, you should screw out this plug
some four turns to guarantee good air cir-
culation in the oil tank. Before you trans-
port this machine, close this plug to avoid
oil leakage.
If you leave the vent plug tightened while
you are working the hydraulic movements
will lead to some overpressure which can
damage your machine.
C A U T I O N
Never run the motor in the wrong direction.
This will inevitably lead to damage to the
pumping system, as a result of which you
will no longer be entitled to claim under
warranty.
