• Action:
- Releasing both handles
• Result:
- Riving knife returns to the upper position.
Commissioning
Make sure that the machine is installed completely and
properly. Before each use, always check:
• the connection cables for defective areas (cracks,
cuts and the like),
• the machine for possible damage,
• whether all screws are tightened,
• the hydraulic oil for leaks and
• The oil level
If the ambient temperature is less than 5°C, the splitter
must be left idle for 15 minutes so that the hydraulic oil
can warm up.
Ventilating, Fig. 14
Ventilate the hydraulic system before starting the splitter.
• Loosen the ventilation flap (A) several turns so that
air can escape from the oil tank.
• Leave the cap open during operation.
• Before you move the splitter, close the cap again,
since oil can run out otherwise.
If the hydraulic system is not vented, the trapped air will
damage the seals and thus the splitter!
Electrical safety
Connect the electric tool to the mains via a socket out-
let with a maximum fuse rating of 16A. We recommend
installing a residual current circuit breaker with a nom-
inal trigger current of no more than 30mA. Ask for ad-
vice from an electrician.
Switching on/off, Fig. 7
• Press the green button to switch on.
• Press the red button to switch off.
Note:
Check the function of the on/off unit by switching it on
and off again once before each use.
Restart protection in case of power interruption
(zero-voltage trigger)
In the event of a power failure, unintentional removal of
the plug or a defective fuse, the device switches off au-
tomatically. To switch on again, press the green button
on the switching unit again.
Splitting
• The trunk lifter (19) Fig.13 must be in the top latched
position
• Place wood on the base plate (17) Fig.1 and hold it
with the two retaining claws (4) on the control arms
(5, 5a) and place the piece of wood in the middle of
the riving knife (2), push both operating levers (7)
down, as soon as the riving knife (2) penetrates the
wood, move the control arms (5, 5a) approx. 2 cm
away from the wood while simultaneously pressing
the operating lever (7) down. This prevents damage
to the retaining claws (4)!
• Move the riving knife (2) down until the wood is
split, if the wood is not completely split during the
first splitting stroke, slowly release both operating
levers (7) and carefully move the riving knife (2) with
the wood up to the end position. Then swivel in the
swivel table (8) Fig. 13 with your hand or foot until
the locking hooks (10) Fig.1 engage. Now carry out a
second splitting stroke until the wood is completely
split and remove the pieces of wood, then swivel the
swivel table away again with your foot or hand.
Operation of the trunk lifter
General information about the trunk lifter:
• The chain of the trunk lifter may only be attached
to the chain hook (22) using the last link for safety
reasons.
• Ensure that no other people are present in the work-
ing range of the trunk lifter.
Operation of the trunk lifter:
• Loosen the locking lever (21b) of the trunk lifter so
that the lifting tube can move freely.
• Move the splitting blade down until the lifting tube of
the trunk lifter lies completely on the floor.
• In this position, you can roll the trunk to the split onto
the lifting tube. The trunk must lie in the area be-
tween the two fixings.
• Pull the stop lever (16) forward and allow the splitting
blade to move upwards slowly.
• The trunk lifter moves upwards and positions the
trunk on the base plate.
• Now align the trunk to the centre of the riving knife
and split it. (see "Splitting" working instruction)
• Then remove the split wood and a new trunk can be
split using the described method.
