Operating the log lifter:
• Loosen the log lifter restraining hook so the lifting
tube can move freely.
•
Move the splitting blade so far down that the log
lifter lifting tube lies on the ground.
•
In this position, you can roll the log to be split onto
the lifting tube. (The log has to be between the two
fixing tips.)
• Push the return bracket down or the handles up
so the splitting blade moves up. (Caution! Do not
stand in the working environment of the log lifter!
Risk of injury!)
• Then remove the split wood and move the riving
knife and therefore the log lifter back down.
•
Now you can roll a new log onto the log lifter.
Resetting the log lifter
This is used as a second guard arm when not using
the trunk lifter or when automatic return is enabled.
For this, the arm is moved up until it locks in position
in the hook.
Transport position of the log lifter:
•
Using your hand, move the log lifter up until it locks
in position.
Comply with these notices to ensure quick and
safe work.

automatically. For switching on again, press anew
the green button of the switch unit.
Using the retaining claw (Fig. 12)
The height of the claw can be set at various stages to
suit the length of the wood.
Splitting (Fig. 13)
•
If the outside temperature is below 5°C, let the ma
-
chine run idle for about 5 minutes so the hydraulic
system reaches its operating temperature. Place
the log under the splitting blade vertically.
Caution: The splitting blade is very sharp. Risk
of injury!
•
Push the retaining claw (13) onto the wood to be
split.
•
When you push both operating levers (2 +12) down,
the splitting blade goes down and splits the wood.
•
Only ever split logs that have been sawn off straight.
•
Split the log vertically.
•
Never split it lying down or diagonally to the grain!
•
Wear suitable gloves and safety boots when split
-
ting wood.
•
Split very misshapen logs from the edge.
Caution: During splitting, some logs can be un
-
der significant tension and suddenly break.
• Force jammed logs out by applying pressure in
the splitting direction or by raising the riving
knife. In this case, only push the handles up,
do not use the return bracket. Caution: Risk of
injury
Operating the log lifter (8)
General information about the log lifter:
•
For safety reasons, the log lifter chain may only be
hung on the splitting blade with the last link.
•
Ensure that nobody else is within the working envi
