Operating instructions

Lever positions on the control valve (Fig.8) 

Position „0“

Splitting knife moves upwards and automatically 

to 

position “1”

Position “1”

Basic position, no movement at the splitting 

knife.

When the cylinder is extended and the return-

stop is being activated the knife remains at 

position “1”

. The cylinder does not retract.  

Position “2”

Splitting speed. The splitting knife moves at slow 

speed and with highest splitting force.

Position “3”

Fast speed. The splitting knife moves at highest 

speed and with reduced splitting force.

Setting during the raising of the cylinder 

Adjust the nut to the lowest hole on the bar for 

1 m wood 

(Fig. 3)

.

Always leave the upper nut with spring cotter in 

this position!

• 

Activate the return-stop. 

Position “4”

• 

If you are using a splitter with electric motor 

it is sufficient to press a shift knob.

• 

To turn on the device, press the green 

power switch.

• 

When using a PTO driven splitter please 

note the following:

1.  The connection to the cardan shaft must be  

performed after the coupling of the PTO 

lifting unit.  

2. 

The locking of the PTO lifting unit must be 

secured with appropriate safeguards.

3. 

Now connect the drive shaft with the gear 

shaft and the PTO connector.

4. 

Activate the return-stop. 

Position “4”

5.  Switch on the PTO shaft.

• 

Now operate both control levers carefully 

in order to move the cylinder 

SLOWLY

upwards. It is most important that you pay 

attention to the hydraulic hoses! 

• 

When the cylinder plate is at the boom, re

-

lease one control lever and keep the other 

one still pressed.

• 

Switch off the machine. Now you can secu-

re the screws with the nuts in order to lock 

the cylinder 

(Fig. 4)

. 

• 

The nuts and the washers are located on 

the control levers 

(Fig. 4.1)

• 

Never move upwards quickly, do not apply 

force!

• 

Errors in handling and operation are hereby 

explicitly excluded from the warranty.  

• 

Now release the operating knobs, the 

splitting wedge is pulled upwards by the 

plunger. The wood splitter is now ready for 

use. 

Only use cardan shafts with CE signs, 

declaration of conformity and operating inst

-

ructions! Read these operating instructions 

carefully prior to operation!

Perform the above procedures only when 

the motor and the PTO connector are turned 

off and the ignition key is removed!

Adjustment during the lowering of the 

cylinder  

• 

Adjust the nut to the lower hole on the bar. 

Lower the splitting knife onto a piece of 

wood of about 15 cm height, switch off the 

machine. 

Fig. 6

• 

Unfasten the screw nuts on the cylinder, 

press an operation knob, and turn on the 

machine.

• 

Release the operation knob slowly. Lower 

the cylinder slowly, and switch off the 

machine.

Splitting

• 

At temperatures below 5°C leave the ma

-

chine at idle speed for about five minutes 

so that the hydraulic system reaches opera-

ting temperature.

• 

Place the wood under the splitting knife in 

an upright position und press against the 

fixing bolt. 

• 

Warning. The fixing bolt and the splitting 

knife are very sharp. Risk of injury! 

• 

When you press down both operating levers 

simultaneously, the splitting knife moves 

down and splits the wood.

• 

Only split timber that has been cut straight.

• 

Split the wood vertically.

• 

Never split wood horizontally or diagonally!

• 

Wear appropriate gloves while splitting 

wood.

Length of wood

The hydraulic splitter is suitable for the split-

ting of short wood and wood by the metre. It is 

practical to adjust the upper stroke limitation to 

3 to 5 cm.

Lifting limitation

• 

If you have logs of wood with a length of 

more than 100 cm place the nut in the up-

per hole of the bar 

(Fig. 3)

 and clamp with 

the locking pin.

• 

If you have logs of wood with a length of 

less than 65 cm place the nut in the middle 

hole and clamp with the locking pin.

Start-up

Make sure that the machine is completely and 

properly assembled. Before every use, check:

• 

the power cords for faults (cracks, cuts and 

such),

• 

the machine for possible damages,

• 

if all bolts are fastened tightly,

• 

the hydraulic system for leaks, and

• 

the oil level.

Power on/off

Press the green button to power on.

Press the red button to power off.

Note: Check the function of the on/off-unit befo-

re every use by switching it on and off once.

Restart cut-out in case of power failures 

(zero 

voltage switch)

In case of a power failure, unintentionally pulling 

the power plug or a defect fuse the machine will 

automatically switch off. To restart the machine, 

press the green button on the switchbox again.
