Always check the following before starting:
- the hydraulic hoses and the hydraulic oil level.
- whether the hydraulic oil tank plug is loosened
- Total control: Make sure there are no leaks, find loose or damaged parts.
- extension cable, plug and switches
- whether the splitting post is sufficiently lubricated and whether it’s moving in and out
without difficulties
WARNING! B
Be sure to take care of any problem you find, or have authorized service dealer to
correct it, before you operate the engine. Improper maintenance to this engine, or
failure to correct a problem before operation, can cause malfunction in which you
can be seriously hurt or killed.
OPERATION
IT IS DESIGNED FOR OPERATING UNDER AMBIENT TEMPERATURES BETWEEN +5°C
AND 40°C
C The machine is designed for operation by one person, who must operate the machine
by both hands.
CAUTION! A
Never operate the machine without fully installed protective covers.
- The hydraulic control lever is operated with the left hand.
- The right hand operates the push-button switch (see chapter "Splitting") ¨
- Until both hands are in place the pressure plate remains motionless.
- When the control is released, the pressure plate returns to the starting position.
• Always cut only one piece of wood.
• Always split the logs in the direction of the grain, never across! An attempt to split across
the grain can seriously damage the machine and it‘s also dangerous for the operator.
• Always place the log directly on the splitting bed. During log splitting, the log must not be
twisted, rocked or slipping.
• Do not bend the sharp edge of the wedge by splitting the log only at the top. This causes
damage to the blade or damage to the machine.
• Never strain the wedge splitter by holding the pressure for longer than 5 seconds. With
a longer load, the oil pressure causes overheating and the machine may be damaged. Logs
that won‘t be able to chopped-off without problems, turn and try splitting in different
directions. If the log can‘t be split, it means that its hardness exceeds the machine's capabilities
and that log should be removed in order to protect both the user and the machine.
• Keep your hands and fingers away from the logs and cracks that arise by opening the log by
the non-split logs. Cracks may suddenly close and crush or amputate your fingers.
