Preparation
1. Place thelog splitter on aflat and stable work surface at apractical height.
2. Set thesplitting distance (see below)
3. Connect thepower cable to asocket, preferably via anearth fault breaker. Remember to place thecable
so that it will not damaged when working thelog splitter.
4. Unscrew theair screw (13) 3–4 revolutions, so that anoticeable air current can be felt during use.
How to use
Setting the splitting distance
The log splitter is meant for logs up to alength of 52 cm.
1. Remove thelocking pin on thepiston rod behind thepressure plate.
2. Pull thepressure plate to thesplitter until one of theholes in theinner and outer piston rod align.
3. Replace thelocking pin
4. If thelogs are shorter, use thepiston stroke limiter* (see below) to limit piston rod movement and to increase
theworking operation.
* The piston stroke limiter is adetachable stop which hinders thereturn action of thepiston control.
Only use when logs are short:
1. Press theswitch and operating lever and let thepiston move to its outer position. Release theswitch but
keep ahold of theoperating lever.
2. Place thepin of thepiston stroke limiter in one of theholes in thework bench.
3. Release thepressure lever so that thepiston control (17) is stopped by thepiston stroke limiter (18).
4. Adjust thesplitting distance by changing thelength of thepiston rod using thethree holes.
Note!
• Never use thepiston stroke limiter (19) in front of thepressure plate (2). It must always be behind
thepressure plate (2) or be removed.
• Never use thesplitter without thepressure plate (2) mounted and fixed with supplied locking pin. (20).
