The device must work under the following environmen-
tal conditions:
Minimum Maximum
Recom-
mended
Temperature 5°C 40°C 16°C
Humidity 95% 70%
When working below 5°C, the device should be idled
for approx. 15 minutes to allow the hydraulic oil to warm
up.
AC motors 230V should have a temperature between
5°C - 10°C when starting at low outdoor temperatures,
as the starting current increases at low temperatures
and the circuit breaker can be triggered.
• The mains power connection is protected with a 16A
slow-blow fuse.
• The “RCD circuit breaker” must have a 30mA trip
rating.
Tool required:
• Grease or spray oil
Not included in the scope of delivery.
10.1 Setting up the log splitter
m Attention!
Risk of injury from the log splitter tipping over. A
toppling log splitter can cause serious injuries and
damage.
Prepare the workplace where the device is to be lo-
cated.
• Create enough space to allow safe, trouble-free
working.
• The device is designed for working on level surfac-
es and must be set up securely on a level and rm
surface.
10.2 Checking the oil level (Fig. 1, 9)
m Attention!
Check the oil level prior to commissioning!
The hydraulic system is a closed system with an oil
tank, oil pump and control valve. There is already oil in
the system when delivered. Check the oil level before
the initial commissioning and regularly before commis-
sioning. An oil level that is too low can damage the oil
pump, rell with oil if necessary.
10. Before commissioning
m Attention!
Always make sure the product is fully assembled
before commissioning!
m Attention!
Before performing setting or maintenance work,
unplug the mains plug!
m WARNING!
Health hazard!
Inhalation of oil vapours and exhaust gases can cause
serious damage to health, unconsciousness and in ex-
treme cases death.
- Do not breathe in oil vapours and exhaust gases.
- Operate the device outdoors only.
NOTE!
Product damage
If the product is operated without or with too little hy-
draulic oil, this can lead to hydraulic pump damage.
NOTE!
Environmental damage!
Spilled oil can pollute the environment permanently.
The liquid is highly toxic and can quickly lead to water
pollution.
- Fill/empty oil only on level, paved surfaces.
- Use a lling nozzle or funnel.
- Collect drained oil in a suitable container.
- Wipe up spilled oil carefully immediately and dis-
pose of the cloth according to local regulations.
- Dispose of oil as per local regulations.
Before each use, always check:
• the connection cables for defective areas (cracks,
cuts and the like),
• The device for possible damage,
• whether all screws are tightened,
• The hydraulic system for leaks,
• The oil level
• The safety devices and
• The ON/OFF switch.
