• Never place the hands on or near any moving
parts of the machine when it is switched on. Main-
tain a safe distance from the log, the ram and the
wedge in order to protect your hands from injury.
• Split only timber which corresponds to the maxi-
mal length to be worked with.
What type of logs can I split
Size of logs
Length:
Min.150 mm – max. 520 mm
Diameter: 50 – 250 mm
The log diameter is a recommended guideline figure, be-
cause:
- thin logs can be difficult to split if they contain knots or if
the fibres are too strong.
- logs with a diameter of over 250 mm can be split if the
fibres are smooth and open.
Do not try to split green logs. Dry logs are much easier
to split, and do not cause jams as often as green (damp)
wood.
Operation
Two-hand operation
1. Press the operating pushbutton on the electric motor.
Wait a few moments until the motor has reached its
operating revolutions and the required pressure has
been built up in the hydraulic pump
2. Press the operating lever down simultaneously
The log ram pushes the log against the splitting wedge,
and the log will be split.
3. Release the operating lever as well as the operating
pushbutton. The log ram will now return to its original
starting position
Special instructions for splitting logs:
•
Preparations:
The logs to be split should be cut to the maximum di-
mensions (520 mm long, Ø 50 – 250 mm). Ensure also
that the logs are cut straight and square.
Place the log properly on the log splitter, so as not to
cause any risk of stumbling or falling to the operator.
•
Bleeding
Open the bleed screw 3 – 4 complete turns.
Close the bleed screw again when you are finished
splitting logs.

1. tighten
2. open (bleeding)

Splitting logs:
Always place the logs lengthwise and flat on the main
frame of the log splitter. The log must be enclosed by
the log guide plate
Never place the log on the frame at an angle.
Always ensure that the splitting wedge and the log ram
contact the ends of the log at right-angles.
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 (max. 10 sec.). This can
lead to damage to the machine.
