Before you start the machine, check the condition of
the log splitter. Keep protective equipment in its place
and in good condition. Make it your habit to check that
all work tools have been removed from the work area
before starting the machine. Change damaged, missing
or and delivered partners before using the machine.
Start the machine without a load and check that it is in
working order.
Keep in mind of possible hazards does situations that
can develop with the splitting of certain types of logs
(e.g. logs that are bumpy or have irregular forms).
Remember to always use a Portable Residual Current
Device (PRCD) if the electric system does not have a
fault current switch of at least 0.03 A.
Never split logs that are larger than the log size
specified in the manual. Never attempt to split logs that
contain parts such as nails or steel wire that are
hazardous to the operation of the machine.
The log's lower surface should be cut evenly and there
should be no branches in the log. The log should be
split in the direction of the wood grain. Never place the
log in a vertical position on the log splitter.
The user must always operate the control device with
both hands. The control device must not be used in
any other way.
Place the machine on a horizontal and stable
supporting surface with a height of 60 – 75 cm. Ensure
that there is plenty of room to move around the
machine. Ensure that there are no objects on the
supporting surface that could prevent the free
movement of machine. For this purpose, we
recommend the use of a log splitter stand. Never use
the machine on the ground. Attach the log splitter to a
work base if it moves from its place.
Danger! Never split two logs at the same time.
Danger! Never add the next log or change a log while
the machine is in operation.
Danger! Never tamper with the log splitter's protective
equipment and do not use the machine without
protective equipment.
Warning! Never force the log splitter for longer than five
seconds when you attempt to split particularly hard
wood. When this time period has expired, the oil can
overheat. Change the position of a particularly hard log
by 90° to see if it can be split in the other direction. If
you are unable to split the log, this means that the
wood hardness exceeds the machine's capability.
Forbidden! Never open the switch box or the cover of
the electric motor. Contact a qualified electrician if
necessary.
Warning! Take care that the machine and the electrical
cable remain far from water. Handle the electrical cable
with care.
Never jerk or tear the electrical cable. Keep the
electrical cable far from high temperatures, of oil and
sharp objects.

UNPACKING & ASSEMBLY
WARNING! The tool should never be connected to a
power supply when you are assembling parts, making
adjustments, cleaning, performing maintenance, or
when the tool is not in use. Disconnecting the tool will
prevent accidental starting that could cause serious
injury.
Take the parts from box and check that all the
packages are in good order and undamaged. If a part
missing or if some part is faulty, contact the dealer
immediately.
Bolt the support leg to the log splitter, lift the log
splitter by the handles at both ends and place it on a
60 -75 cm high, stable, flat and level work surface.
WARNING! Before operating the log splitter, the bleed
screw should be loosened by some rotations until air
can go in and out of the oil tank smoothly.
Air flow through the bleed screw hole should be
detectable while the log splitter is under operation.
Before moving the log splitter, make sure the bleed
screw is tightened to avoid oil leaking from this point.
Failure to loosen the bleed screw will keep the
sealed air in the hydraulic system being
compressed after being decompressed. Continuous
air compression and decompression will blow out
the seals of the hydraulic system and cause
permanent damage to the log splitter.
