 Splitting short wood:
1. Upper position of table plate.

3. Hold the log tight with the clamping claws.

Only split the logs in the direction of the wood fibres.

of table or low
position of base.
2. Remove the

Possible malfunction when cleaving logs: The log to be
cleaved is not cleaved right through, jams on the cleaving blade
and is pulled up during the blade's return movement.
In this case, proceed as follows:
1. Switch off the device.
2. Depending on the log still to be cleaved fix the table plate in
the upper or the table in the middle position.
3. Switch on the device and continue the splitting operation.
Never try to split two logs at once.
Never try to remove or replace the log during the
splitting process.

Never try to force the splitting of the log by maintaining the
pressure for several seconds. This can lead to damage to the
machine.
Position the log on the table again and repeat the splitting phase,
or put the log on one side.
How to release a jammed log?
There is a risk of knotted logs getting stuck during the splitting
process.
1. Switch machine off and disconnect the power.
2. Do not remove jammed logs with your hands.
3. Carefully move the stuck log with a crowbar backwards and
forwards to loosen it. Don´t damage the splitting pillar.
Never hammer on the stuck log.
Never use a saw to cut the stuck log out of the machine.
Do not enlist the aid of a second person - this is a one-
man job.
