Splitting short wood:
1.
Upper position of table plate.
2.
Place the log on the splitter’s table plate.
Only split the logs in the direction of the wood fibres.
3.
Hold the log tight with the clamping claws.
Splitting long wood:
1.
Middle position
of table or low
position of base.
2.
Remove the
splitting cross.
3.
Place the log on
the splitter’s
table or base.
Possible malfunction when cleaving logs:
The log to be
cleaved is not cleaved right through, jams on the cleaving
blade and is pulled up during the blade’s return movement.
In this case, proceed as follows:
1.
Switch off the device.
2.
Depending on the log still to be cleaved fix the table plate
in the upper or the table in the middle position.
3.
Switch on the device and continue the splitting operation.
Never try to split two logs at once.
Never try to remove or replace the log during the
splitting process.
Never try to force the splitting of the log by maintaining
the pressure for several seconds. This can lead to damage to
the machine.
Position the log on the table again and repeat the splitting
phase, or put the log on one side.
How to release a jammed log?
There is a risk of knotted logs getting stuck during the
splitting process.
1.
Switch machine off and remove the spark plug connector.
2.
Do not remove jammed logs with your hand
s.
3.
Carefully move the stuck log with a crowbar backwards
and forwards to loosen it. Don´t damage the splitting
pillar.
Never hammer on the stuck log.
Never use a saw to cut the stuck log out of the machine.
Do not enlist the aid of a second person - this is a one-
man job.
