10.4 Greasing the splitting column (2) (Fig. 1)
m Attention!
Do not run the splitting column dry.
Generously grease the splitting column (2) of the log
splitter before putting it into operation. This process
must be repeated every 5 operating hours.
1.
The splitting column (2) must be in the top position.
2.
Apply a generous film of grease or spray oil to the
splitting column (2).
10.5 Switching on/off (Fig. 13)
Note:
Check the function of the on/off switch by switch-
ing it on and off again once before each use.
1.
Connect the electrical power connection (34) to
the mains socket.
2.
To switch on, press the green button on the on/off
switch (24), the device switches on.
3.
To switch off, press the red button on the on/off
switch (24), the device switches off.
4.
Disconnect the electrical power connection (34)
from the mains socket when you want to finish
work.
10.6 Check the direction of rotation of the motor
(17) (Fig. 1, 13, 13a)
m Attention!
The direction of rotation of 3-phase motors must
be checked when they are connected for the first
time or if they are relocated. If necessary the polar-
ity must be changed with the phase inverter.
1.
Switch the motor (17) on (see section 10.5).
2.
If the correct running direction is set, the splitting
column (2) automatically moves upwards.
3.
If the splitting column (2) does not move, switch
the device off immediately.
Make sure that the stop lever (21) is released.
4.
Change the direction of rotation of the phase in-
verter with a screwdriver (not included in the scope
of delivery) in the power connection (34).
m Attention!
Never allow the motor to run with the wrong direc-
tion of rotation! This will inevitably lead to the de-
struction of the hydraulic system and no warranty
claim can be made for this.

11. Operation
11.1 Splitting logs
m WARNING!
Danger of injury!
Dry and seasoned wood can explode during the split-
ting process and injure the operator.
During the splitting process, bruising or severing of
body parts may occur due to retracting of the riving
knife.
Pieces of wood that are produced during a splitting pro-
cess can fall down.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
Make sure that the wood to be split does not contain
nails or foreign objects. The end of the log must be cut
straight. Branches must be sawn off flush.
Pieces of wood cut at an angle can slip away during
the splitting process. Only split timbers that have been
sawn off straight.
