START-UP

5.1

Setting up and connecting log splitter

 WARNING! Danger of injury if the log

splitter tips over.

 A tipping log splitter can result

in serious injury and material damage.

■

Set up the log splitter on firm and level
ground.

■

Do not place any material under the log split-
ter to change its height or to try to increase
its stability.

1. Set up the log splitter horizontally and se-

curely so that it cannot tip over.

2. Anchor the log splitter to the ground at the

appliance leg using two suitable screws
(16/1, 28/1) and possibly dowels to prevent it
from tipping over.

3. Lay the mains cable in such a way that it can-

not be kinked, crushed or damaged in any
other way.

4. Open vent screw (01/4, 02/4) by roughly 1 –

2 turns so that the air can escape that is dis-
placed during operation by the heated and
expanding oil.

5. Insert the plug of the mains cable into the

power socket. 

Note: 

To disconnect the appliance from the

mains power supply, pull out the plug again.
