Safety regulations
mWARNING!
The voltage must be the same as the voltage specied on the rating
plate.
Keep these regulations in a safe place!
1. WORK AREA
• Keep your work area clean and tidy. Disorder and insu󰀩ciently illu-
minated work areas can lead to accidents.
• Do not use this tool in a potentially explosive environment containing
combustible liquids, gases or dust. Electric tools generate sparks,
which can in turn ignite dust or vapors.
• Keep children and other persons away from the electric tool while it
is being used. Allowing yourself to get distracted can cause you to
lose control of the tool.
2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Attention! The following basic safety measures must be observed
when using electric tools for protection against electric shock, and
the risk of injury and re. Read all these notices before using the
electric tool and keep the safety instructions for later reference.
• The tools connector plug must be able to t into the socket outlet.
Do not modify the plug in any way! Do not use adapter plugs in
conjunction with electrically grounded tools. Unmodied plugs and
matching socket outlets reduce the risk of an electric shock.
• Avoid touching grounded surfaces, such as those of pipes/tubes,
heaters, cookers and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
getting an electric shock if you are electrically grounded.
• Keep the tool away from rain and moisture/wet conditions. Pene-
tration of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric
shock.
• Do not use the cable to carry the tool, hang it up or pull the plug out
of the socket. Keep the cable away from sources of heat, oil, sharp
edges and moving tool parts. Damaged or tangled cable increases
the risk of an electric shock.
• If you intend to use an electric tool outdoors, ensure that you only

AUS
Safety regulations
use extension cable that is approved for outdoor applications. Using
extension cable that is approved for outdoor applications reduces
the risk of an electric shock.
• Connect the electric tool to the mains power supply (220 - 240 V~,
50Hz) via a socket-outlet with earthing contact. We recommend that
you t a residual-current protection device with a maximum nominal
tripping current of 30 mA. Seek the advice of your electrician.
3. PERSONAL SAFETY
• Be alert, work conscientiously and exercise appropriate caution
when using the electric tool. Do not use the tool if you are tired or
are under the inuence of drugs/medication or alcohol. One moment
of carelessness or lack of attention when using the electric tool can
cause serious bodily injury!
• Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety
goggles. Wearing personal protective equipment such as a dust
mask, non-slip footwear, protective headgear and ear mu󰀨s (de-
pending upon the type of electric tool and the particular application)
reduces the risk of sustaining injury.
»Wear ear-mu󰀨s. The impact of noise can cause damage to hear-
ing.
»Wear safety goggles. Sparks generated during working or splin-
ters, chips and dust emitted by the device can cause loss of sight.
• Physically touching the switch with your nger when carrying the
tool or connecting the tool to the power supply switched on can lead
to accidents.
• Remove adjusting tools/wrench(es) prior to switching on the power
tool. A tool or wrench that is positioned inside a rotating power tool
part can cause injury.
• Do not overestimate your abilities. Make sure you stand squarely
and keep your balance at all times. This way, you will be able to
have better control over the tool in unexpected situations.
• Wear suitable clothes. Never wear loose tting clothes or jewelry.
Keep hair, clothes and gloves away from moving parts. Loose cloth-
ing, dangling jewelry and long hair can be caught by moving parts.

4. CAREFUL HANDLING AND USE OF ELECTRIC TOOLS
• Do not overload your tool. Only use suitable electric tools to perform
your work. Using the right electric tool allows you to work better and
safer within the tool’s quoted capacity range.
• Do not use an electric tool whose switch is defective. An electric
tool that no longer can be switched on or o󰀨 is dangerous and must
be repaired.
• Always pull the plug out of the socket outlet before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. This
precaution eliminates the possibility of inadvertently starting the tool.
• When not in use, store electric tools out of the reach of children. Do
not allow those persons to use this tool who are unfamiliar with it or
who have not read these instructions. Electric tools are dangerous
when they are used by inexperienced persons.
• Take good care of your tool. Check that moving parts properly func-
tion and do not jam, that parts are not broken o󰀨 or damaged in any
way and that the tool can be used to its full capacity. Have damaged
parts repaired prior to using the tool. The cause of many accidents
can be traced back to poorly maintained electric tools.
• Use electric tools and plug-in tools, etc. in compliance with these
instructions and in the manner that is prescribed for the model at
hand. In so doing, pay due attention to working conditions and the
job to be performed. Using electric tools for applications other than
those intended can lead to dangerous situations.
• If the power cable of the electric tool is damaged, it must be re-
placed by a specially prepared connection lead which can be ob-
tained from the customer service center.
5. SERVICE
Have your tool repaired only by authorized specialists using original
replacement parts. This will ensure that your tool remains safe to use.

Setup/Before starting the equipment/Operation
VI. SETUP
Prepare the workplace where the machine is to be placed.
Ensure su󰀩cient room to allow safe work without malfunctions.
The machine is designed to operate on a level surface and must be placed se-
curely on stable plain ground.
VII. BEFORE STARTING THE EQUIPMENT
Make sure the machine is completely and expertly assembled.
Check before every use:
• The connection cables for any defective spots (cracks, cuts etc.).
• The machine for any possible damage.
• The rm seat of all bolts.
• The hydraulic system for leakage.
• The oil level.
VENTING, FIG. 7 / 8
mATTENTION!
Before working with the log splitter, vent the hydraulic system.
• Release the Venting Screw (12) by a few revolutions so the air can escape from
the oil tank.
• Leave the Venting Screw (12) open during the operation.
• Before you move the log splitter, close the Venting Screw (12) again in order not to
lose any oil.
If the hydraulic system is not vented, the enclosed air will damage the gas-
kets and with it the complete log splitter.
VIII. OPERATION
Only split plain cut logs.
SWITCHING "ON" AND "OFF"
mATTENTION!
Loosen the Venting Screw (12) two revolutions, before starting work.
Close before transport. FIG. 7 / 8
1. Place the splitting material in horizontal direction to the Work Table (3).

Operation
– right hand controls the Switch (7).
3. Simultaneously push the Hydraulic Lever (10) and the Switch (7) to start splitting
action.
4. Wait until the splitting process is ended and release then the Hydraulic Lever
(10) and the Switch (7). The Splitting wedge (4) is returned to the home position.
5. Afterwards you can remove splitting material.
The log splitter will freeze upon absence of either hand.
If you release the Switch (7) the Motor (8) stops.
The release of both hands means that the Log Pusher (2) will be retracted.
mATTENTION!
Check the function of the "ON-/OFF" unit before every use by switching on
and o󰀨 once, as described above (Switching "ON" and "OFF").
Never force your machine for more than 5 seconds by keeping pressure on it to
split excessively hard wood. After this time interval, the oil under pressure will be
overheated and the machine could be damaged.
For such an extremely hard log, rotate it by 90° to see whether it can be split in a
di󰀨erent direction. In any case, if you are not able to split the log, this means that
its hardness exceeds the capacity of the machine and thus should be discarded to
protect the log splitter.
END OF WORK
• Release hands from Two-hands Control System.
• Pull the power plug.
• Close the venting screw (12).
• Observe the general maintenance instructions.
HOIST LIMITING, FIG. 1
For short splitting material it is possible to shorten the return movement of the
Splitting Wedge (4). To do so, press the Hydraulic Lever (10) and the Switch (7)
and let the Log Pusher (2) move just in front of the splitting material.
Release the Switch (7) now and mount the Hoist Limiting Ring (13) to the housing
and tighten it. Afterwards you can release the Hydraulic Lever (10).
The Log Pusher (2) will now be resting in the selected position.
WRONGLY PLACED LOG, FIG. 2
Always set logs rmly on the work table. Make sure logs will not twist, rock or slip
while being split. Do not force the blade by splitting logs on the upper part. This
will break the blade or damage the machine.
Do not attempt to split 2 pieces of logs at the same time. One of them may y up
and hit you.

JAMMED LOG, FIG. 3 / 4
Do not try to knock the jammed log o󰀨. Knocking about will damage the machine
or may launch the log and cause accident.
1. Release both controls.
2. After the Log Pusher (2) moves back and completely stops at its starting posi-
tion, insert a wedge wood under the jammed log as shown in the gure.
3. Start the log splitter to push the wedge wood under the jammed one.
4. Repeat above procedure with sharper slope wedge woods until the log is com-
pletely freed.
IX. CLEANING
m IMPORTANT!
Always pull out plug each time before carrying out any cleaning.
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as
far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pres-
sure - Attention! Wear safety glasses for this work.
We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have n-
ished using it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents - these could attack the plastic parts of the equip-
ment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device.
X. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
Carry out retting, setting and cleaning work only when the motor is switched o󰀨.
Pull the power plug.
An experienced worker can carry out minor repairs on the machine alone.
Repair and maintenance work on the electrical system may only be carried
out by a qualied electrician.
All protective and safety devices must be reattached immediately after completed
repair and maintenance work.
We recommend:
• The Splitting Wedge is a wearing part that needs to be sharpened or replaced
after wear.
• The combined gripping and controlling device must remain smooth running. Lubri-
cate with a few drops of oil when necessary.
• Keep Splitting Wedge drive clean of dirt, wood shavings, bark, etc.
• Lubricate slide rails with grease.

SHARPEN THE SPLITTING WEDGE FIG. 1
If the Splitting Wedge (4) is worn out, use an angle grinder and sharpen the edg-
es. If you are not condent contact a professional repair person.
OIL CHANGE FIG. 5 - 7
The hydraulic system is a closed system with oil tank, oil pump and control valve.
The system is complete when the machine is delivered, and may not be changed
or manipulated.
Check hydraulic connections and ttings regularly for air tightness.
Tighten when necessary.
The oil tank has been lled with high quality oil at the factory.
Replace hydraulic oil after 150 hours of use.
1. Make sure all moving parts stop and the log splitter is unplugged.
2. Unscrew Oil Drain Bolt / Dipstick (11) to remove it.
3. Tip the log splitter on the support leg end as shown in g. 5 over a 4 litre capaci-
ty container to drain the hydraulic oil. Recycle carefully!
4. Tip your machine on the motor end as shown in Fig. 6 to rell about 3.5 L fresh
oil.
5. Clean the surface of the dipstick on the Oil Drain Bolt (11) and put it back into
the oil tank while keeping the log splitter vertical.
Make sure the level of the relled oil is just between 2 grooves around the dip-
stick.
6. Clean the Oil Drain Bolt (11) before threading it back. Make sure it is tightened
to avoid leakage before placing the log splitter horizontally. Afterwards, run the
machine through several splitting cycles without logs on the work table.
Regularly check the oil level.
Too low an oil level damages the oil pump.
Regularly check the hydraulic connections and bolts for tightness.
Re-tighten if necessary.
Upon low oil level, oil relling is required.
Dispose of the used oil in a correct manner at a public collection facility.
It is prohibited to drop old oil on the ground or to mix it with waste.
We recommend the following hydraulic oils:
• Aral Vitam gf 22
• BP Energol HLP-HM 22
• Mobil DTE 11
• Shell Tellus 22
or oils of same quality.
Do not use any other types of oil as they would inuence the function of the hy-
draulic cylinder.
