damaged.

• 

The tractor must have a flow connection 

and a load-free return connection.

• 

Ensure proper connection of the hoses.

• 

Hydraulic hoses shall be stored in the inten-

ded repository.

Operation with PTO

• 

Before connecting the machine to the 

three-point hitch of the tractor, make sure 

that the weight of machine is within the 

tractor’s specifications. The weight of the 

machine can be found on the manufacturer 

type plate 

• 

Make sure that the machine is connected 

correctly to the three-point hitch and that 

the safety bolts are always in place. The 

upper link only in higher hole. The lower 

hole is for the driving devise.

• 

When working, be careful in order to pre

-

vent accidents or damages.

• 

Only connect the drive shaft only to the 

engine of the tractor when it is not running.

• 

Use only drive shafts that are approved and 

suitable for the use with the log splitter. 

Furthermore the drive shaft must be equip

-

ped with all safety mechanisms, which 

must be in good condition.

• 

Keep away from the drive shaft when it is 

in use.

• 

Make sure that the shaft speed of the trac

-

tor does not exceed the value specified on 

the type plate (max 300 rpm).

• 

It is recommended to wear earplugs or 

equivalent hearing protection.

• 

Do not operate the machine indoors. The 

exhaust fumes are harmful to health. They 

can cause unconsciousness and there-

fore pose a threat to the operator. If it is 

necessary to work indoors or in covered 

surroundings, make sure that there is suf

-

ficient ventilation. Do not inhale the exhaust 

fumes!

Modifications of any kind to the machine are 

prohibited!

• 

For specific instructions regarding the drive 

shaft, refer to its user manual (delivered 

with the drive shaft).

• 

For maintenance work or if the splitting 

wedge is stuck, disconnect the machine 

from the tractor first, after stopping the 

tractor.

Never leave the machine unattended while it 

is still connected to the power source!

Using the log lifter

General information on the log lifter:

• 

The log lifter is ready for operation

• 

If not used, the log lifter must be in the up

-

per position. (Insert the hitch pins in the top 

hole; 

Fig.9 „A“

) It can then be used as a 

second protection handle preventing lateral 

displacement of the log.

• 

For safety reasons, only the last link of 

the log lifter‘s chain will be attached to 

the suspension plate.

• 

Make sure that nobody is present in the 

working area of the log lifter

Using the Log Lifter:

• 

Pull the hitch pin from the lever fastener so 

that the lever tube can move freely

• 

The stand must be in the lowest position 

and must be secured with the hitch pin 

(hole „B“, Fig.9)

.

• 

Guide the froe downwards until the lever 

tube of the log lifter completely rests on the 

ground. 

(Actuate the froe‘s backstop so 

that the froe remains in this position, 

see Working Instructions)

• 

In this position, you can roll the log to be 

split on the lever‘s tube 

(The log must 

be placed between the two fastening 

points)

• 

Now unlock the froe‘s backstop (See: Wor

-

king Instructions) and guide the splitting 

wedge upwards. 

(Caution! Do not stand 

in the working area of the log lifter! Risk 

of injury!)

• 

Now align the log and split it 

(See: Working 

Instructions)

• 

Take the log lifter back, or use it as a se

-

cond protective arm

Notes on retracting the log lifter:

• 

Slightly guide the froe back 

(approx. 30 

cm)

 and then actuate the backstop 

(See: 

Working Instructions)

• 

Now slightly lift the lever‘s tube of the log lif

-

ter with your hand 

(Fig.9, „A“)

, then lift the 

grid on the lever‘s tube so that the grid can 

rest on the edge of the lever‘s fastener. 

(Al

-

ways guide the lever‘s tube manually)

• 

Now unlock the backstop 

(See: Working 

Instructions)

, then guide the froe comple

-

tely downwards again. (Until the log lifter 

lies on the ground)

Transport Position of the Log Lifter:

• 

Guide the log lifter upwards with your hand 

until it clicks into place.

• 

Flap the stand 

(Fig.9, „D“)

 to the top, until 

it reaches a vertical position.

• 

Now insert the hitch pin in the hole 

(Fig.9, 

„E“)

 aligned with the hole of the stand, 

then secure the stand using the cotter pin 

(guide the chain with the cotter pin behind 

the lever‘s fastener)

Follow these instructions to ensure a fast 

and reliable work.

Electrical connection 

m

Inspect the power cords regularly for damage. 

Make sure that during this inspection the power 

cord is not connected to the mains supply.

The power cords must comply with the appli-

cable VDE (German Association for Electrical, 

Electronic, and Information Technologies) and 

DIN (German Institute for Standardization) regu-

lations. Use only power cords with the designa-

tion H 07 RN.

A type label on the power cord is prescribed.

Faulty power cords

Power cords often suffer insulation damages.

Causes are:

• 

Pinching, when power cords are routed 

through windows or door cracks.

• 

Bending due to improper attachment or 

routing of the power cords.

• 

Cuts due to driving over the power cords.

• 

Insulation damages caused by yanking it 

out of the power outlet.

• 

Cracks in the insulation because of ageing.

Such faulty power cords must not be used and 

are, due to the damaged insulation, a 

danger 

to life!

Three-phase motor 400 V/ 50 Hz

Power supply 400 volts / 50 Hz.

Power cord and extension cord must have 5 

conductors

= 3 P + N + PR. - (3/N/PE).

The extension wires must have a cross-section 

of at least 2.5 mm² and must not be longer than 

20 m.

The power supply must be protected by a 16 A 

(or less) circuit breaker.

After connecting the power supply or after 

relocating, check the direction of rotation. Invert 

polarity if necessary.

Turn the polarity inverter inside the power plug.

Maintenance

Retooling, adjustment and cleaning activities 

are only to be carried out when the motor is 

switched off.

Unplug the mains plug.

Experienced craftsmen may perform minor 

repairs themselves.

Repair and maintenance activities on the 

electric equipment may only be carried out 

by an electronics specialist. 

All protection and safety appliances must be 

fitted immediately after completion of repair and 

maintenance work.

We recommend:

• 

Clean the machine thoroughly after each 

 use!

• 

Splitting knife The splitting knife is a 

consumable which might need regrinding/

re-sharpening or which has to be replaced 

with a new one.

• 

Two-hand operating facility                       

The control and operating facility must 

remain smooth-running. Lubricate occasio-

nally with a few drops of oil.

• 

Movable parts
