8.
Now, place vertically under the splitting blade the log to be split. Make sure that the log is
even and does not fall over on the splitting table. Never try to split canted logs.
9.
Adjust the two levers, depending on the
log diameters.
10. Hold the log with both levers to guarantee
a stable standing position of the log. Then
move both levers down to split the log.
Releasing one of the two levers will induce
the splitting blade to stop. If you release both levers the splitting blade will automatically
move to its topmost position. (Refer to Fig. 8.)
11. Immediately remove the split log parts from your working area and pile them up, if neces-
sary. Thus you can reduce the riskof working accidents.
12. After you have finished your work, allow the splitting blade and the arm move to their top-
most positions (parking positions). Then stop the motor and unplug the machine from your
power supply source. Allow the machine to cool down. After that, you should clean and, if ne-
cessary, lubricate your machine. This log splitter may only be stored in vertical position and
at a dry and clean place. Ensure that the oil tank cap is well closed and that no oil will emerge
during storage.
I M P O R T A N T
Always split your logs along the grain.
Never load the logs crosswise to the
grain, as this can lead to severe
damage to the mechanical and hy-
draulic systems.
