10. Working instructions
Stroke limitation for short wood, Fig. 12
• Move the riving knife (2) into the desired position.
• Release the control lever (8).
• Switch off the motor (17) with the switch (15).
• Now release the second control lever (8).
• Loosen the locking screw (e).
• Guide the stroke setting bar (16a) with the cap nut (f)
upwards until the stroke setting bar (16a) is stopped
on the stop.
• Retighten the locking screw (e).
• Engage the control lever (8). Make sure that the riv-
ing knife (2) does not move upwards uncontrollably
when the motor (17) is switched on.
• Switch on the motor (17) with the switch (15).
• Actuate both control levers (8) in order to move the

• Now release both control levers (8) and check the
top position of the riving knife (2).
• 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
Environmental conditions
The machine should operate in the following environ-
mental conditions:
Minimum Maximum
Recom-
mended
Tempera-
ture
5 °C 40°C 16°C
Humidity 95% 70%
When working below 5° C, the machine 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
Setting up
Prepare the workplace where the machine is to be lo-
cated. Create enough space to allow safe, trouble-free
working.
The machine is designed to work on level surfaces
and must be set-up in a stable position on level, solid
ground.
Ventilating, Fig. 13
Ventilate the hydraulic system before starting the split-
ter.
• Loosen the breather cap (12) 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!
