5.4  Functional controls before start up 

The log splitter is equipped with safety two-hands mechanical controls

designed for the operator to keep both hands free from danger and 

from infringing the moving ram zone during the entire splitting cycle 

(see fi gure.2). 

It is strongly recommended to check the operation of the two-

hand control every time before a new use.

To do so, engage both hand levers and hold them down at the same 

time until the ram slides all the way down.

If your system is duly set, the wedge stops upon releasing of just 

one of the two levers while the ram stops completing its up/down 

stroke at once.

On the other hand, the ram must recommence its upwards travel to 

the initial start position (all the way up) as soon as the other le-

ver is also released.

Make sure that the ram does not travel down when operating only one 

single lever. Check that both levers spring back into their normal posi-

tion when the hand pressure is released.

5.5  Adjusting of the pressure table

The log splitter is equipped with an intermediate hang-up table 

(Pos.4) for splitting short logs up in length of 550, 750 and 1080 mm.

Setting-up/removing the short-logs table can be easily performed wit-

hout any additional tool or help.

To remove it: release the wing-nut (Pos. 3 on Fig. 3) on the table 

mount, remove the safety lock pin on one side, now slightly lift the ta-

ble up and pull it out towards you.

To fi t it on: slip the table onto the lower level mount, grip the front 

rim of the table and slightly lift it lightly up.

Now push it down to the stops on the construction stand and release 

grip on the front rim and let the table settle down making sure that 

the rear table hooks are well and fi rmly settled on the mounts (see 

picture 4 on the side).

Finally slip the clevis back into the special fi xation holes on the table

mounts and tighten them by means of the special wing-nuts.

(if the table is duly settled the clevis will fi t easily and effortless into 

the holes)

Remove the short-logs table off the machine, if you need to split full

cord logs.
