Using your left hand, press the electric motor button to full
extent and control the operating lever with your right hand.
The traversing table is moving forward, pressing the log
through the splitting knife.
Caution: If the button has not been pressed to full
extent, the switch contact could get damaged.
If the log is not to be split immediately, do not hold the
slide valve pressed. Pull the log slide valve back and try
again. A small log may also be difficult to split if knotty and
fibrous. Wider logs with regular fibrous wood are not
difficult to split. If wood is too hard, the log needs to be
processed by a special machine to prevent damage to the
appliance.
Repeat the operating step with wood cut into smaller
pieces.
The log splitter needs to be unplugged after finishing work.
The cable must not be pulled when doing so.
Caution: The engine may switch off due to overheating
after several hours of operation or when splitting big and
hard logs. In such a case, let the appliance cool down for
at least app. 15 minutes and then continue with the work.
