upwards (Fig. 23) so that they are vertical (Fig. 24).
The trunk support must then be pushed into the
attachment device from the front (Fig. 25) and
secured by returning the locking levers to their
original positions (Fig. 26).
5.8 Filling with hydraulic oil
The wood splitter must be filled with oil before it is
started for the first time. Refer to section 10
"Changing the hydraulic oil"

6. Operation

6.1 Plan your work area.
To work in safety and save yourself a lot of effort,
plan your work area in advance. Position the trunks
where they are easy to reach. Allocate an area for
stacking the split wood or load it onto a wheelbarrow
or other means of transportation positioned to one
side.
6.2 Prepare the trunks for splitting.
This splitter can hold trunks with a maximum length
of 1040 mm and a maximum diameter of 320 mm. If
you cut branches or large logs, never cut any lengths
which exceed those specified. Never attempt to split
fresh trunks. Dried timber which has been in storage
is much easier to split than fresh (moist) wood and
will not stick so often.
6.3 Lay out the power cable.
Make sure that you have a suitable socket outlet
available and, if necessary, a suitable extension
cable.
Important! Check whether the motor turns in the
direction of rotation shown embossed in the motor
housing (Fig. 1/Item 9). If this should not be the case,
switch off the machine immediately and change the
direction of rotation by turning the phase converter
through 180° (Fig. 40/Item A). Then repeat the above
check.
6.4 Setting up the splitter securely in an upright
position.
The wood splitter may only be placed on a flat
surface. To ensure the equipment's stability it is
necessary to screw the wood splitter to a concrete
floor with the two steel dowels (Item 28). Select a
location at which the wood splitter can be operated
permanently. Place the wood splitter in the desired
position and mark the drill holes. For secure
anchoring of the steel dowels, drill a hole with a
diameter of 12 mm and a depth of 60 mm into the
01.04.2011 8:19 Uhr Seite 21
concrete floor at each of the fixing points (Fig. 27b
and 27c/ Item 27). Push the steel dowels into the
drilled holes, place the wood splitter in position and
screw it to the floor. The wood splitter may only be
operated at ground level. Do not place any material
under the wood splitter to adjust the height of the
machine or to attempt to improve its stability. If the
wood splitter is on an angle and/or wobbly, move it to
a different location. Do not operate the machine on
soft surfaces such as a lawn or gravel since the
machine could sink or tip over during operation.
6.5 Ventilate.
The ventilation screw (Fig. 33 / Item A) must
always be undone during operation to ensure
that the machine operates correctly. Undo the
ventilation screw by 5 turns before you start the
machine and then tighten it again after using the
wood splitter.
See information label (Fig. 39).
6.6 Place the trunk in the wood splitter.
Only wood that has flat edges can be split in the
machine. Position the trunk you wish to split vertically
and centrally on the trunk support so that the splitter
is over the center of the trunk. Adjust the trunk
holding plates using the knurled screws so that the
trunk can be held perfectly. Never attempt to split a
piece of wood that is not secure, to split it at an angle
or to split wood with angled edges. This can result in
injury to the user and damage to the machine.
6.7 Two-hand operation.
Switch on the machine using the green ON switch
(Fig. 28 / Item A). Move the cover over the ON/OFF
switch (Fig. 29) to ensure that the Emergency Stop
function is active. Wait a few seconds whilst the
electric motor gets up to speed and the required
pressure builds up in the hydraulic pump. The
machine is ready for use when the splitter is fully
extended.
Proceed as follows to split the trunk
Press the control levers together so that the
trunk you wish to split is held secured by the
trunk holding plates (Fig. 30)
Now push the two control levers down at the
same time (Fig. 31). The splitter moves
downwards and presses the wood you wish to
split against the trunk support, splitting it as it
does so. When the trunk has been split, release
the control levers and the splitter will move
upwards again.
Important. Continue to hold the split wood with
the trunk holding plates. It may be that long
pieces of wood will not be split completely and
