Guarantee
The guarantee relates exclusively to faults caused by material
defect or manufacturing defect.
Original proof of purchase with the purchase date needs to be
attached for claims in the guarantee period.
The guarantee does not cover any unauthorised use such as
appliance overloading, violent use, damage by third party or
foreign items. The failure to follow the Operating Instructions
and assembly instructions and ordinary wear and tear is not
included in the guarantee.
Safety instructions
General
For safety reasons it is necessary to respect and follow safety
instructions speci ed in t hese Operating Instructions and
instructions on the appliance relating to appliance operation,
maintenance and repairs.
Operating sta
Using the wood splitter can be associated with some
risks. Therefore only trained and experienced persons can
handle the appliance and work with it. The operating sta
must wear tight, close- tting clothing and protective
shoes.
Workplace
To ensure safe wood splitting, it is necessary that the
workplace is  at and enables stability keeping and su cient
free moving. All obstacles need to be removed from access
paths when bringing the splitter and taking it away. Su cient
workplace lighting must be ensured.
Make sure no persons are present in the workplace
during appliance operation or make sure they keep a
su cient safe distance.
Work preparation
Current supply needs to be interrupted by pressing the red
button on the switch and disconnecting the plug at any repairs
or maintenance work and when leaving the wood splitter.
Interrupting the current supply by putting the switch to
OFF position is not su cient. GreenStar wood splitters are
fundamentally supplied with hardened splitting knives.
However, if you detect any slight deformation of the knife edge
after splitting wood containing an y invisible foreign particles,
e.g. out of concrete, steel, etc. then remove it by a  le or
grinding o . Keeping the splitti ng knife permanently sharp
increases the working output.
TIP: Occasionally grease the splitting knife with fat (for
problem wood).
The function of safety equipment (especially the two-lever
operation) needs to be checked before the splitter is put
into operation for the  rst time.
ATTENTION! Make sure the splitting table is safely
secured to the splitter before the splitter is put into
operation.

Operating sta requirements
The operating sta must carefully read the Operating
Instructions before using the appliance.
Quali cation
Apart from the detailed instruction by a professional no special
quali cation is necessary for using the appliance.
Minimum age
Only persons over 18 years of age can work with the
appliance.
An exception includes youngsters if they work within their
professional education the purpose of which is to obtain
knowledge supervised by a trainer.
Maintenance and treatment (pic. 2)
Always keep the wood splitter clean.
Change hydraulic oil after 500 running hours. Use common
hydraulic oil (HLP 46). Grease the splitting pillar with fat
before each use – this will increase the life of slide jaws .
Use only original spare parts when changing the constructional
elements. Regularly check tightness and  rmness at hydraulic
hoses and hose couplings.
Attention:
- Fill in oil only when the splitter pillar is in an inserted
position
- Regularly grease the splitting pillar and splitting knife
with multipurpose fat (pic. 2/A)
Assembly of service arms, wheels, splitting cross and
table (pic. 3 and 4)
Assembly of service arms - pic. 3
Feed the service arm (A) into the switching cradle (C) and
screw with hexagonal bolt (D), bed (E) and check nut. Tighten
the check nuts to such an extent that the service arm could be
moved. Now connect the service arm (B) according to the
described method on the right. Protective arches (F) on both
service arms are always assembled using 2 bolts with cross
groove (G).
TIP: Grease metal couplings with fat from above and
below before that!
29

Assembly of wheels – pic. 4
Put the wheel axis with the foot lever (A) through both holes on
the oil tank. Put the M6 socket-head screw (B) through the
wheel axis and screw it with the check nut on the plate (C).
Then install the turning wheel on both sides and secure it with
a safety pin (D) on both sides. Slightly bend the safety pin to
prevent falling out.
Table assembly - pic. 1
Depending on the split wood length, the table board can be
fixed in three heights - 570 mm, 770 mm and 1,060 mm.
Table locking levers (pic. 1/7) are fixed in every assembly
position. Insert the table board to the required holders (pic.
1/12). Now secure the table board by the locking lever on
both sides.
Lift adjusting (pic. 5)
The working output can be increased for wood pieces smaller
than app. 50 cm and for more wood pieces by shortening the
backward movement of the splitting knife.
Proceed as follows:
Put a short piece of wood on the splitter table and move the
splitting knife as low as app. 2 cm above the wood. Switch the
splitter off (red button on the switch and disconnect the plug).
Now you can shorten the backward movement using the fixed
rod (pic. 5/B) by fixing the rod in the required height with the
adjusting screw (pic. 5/A).
Area of application
The appliance can only be used for wood processing. The split
material must have the following dimensions:
- Minimum diameter: 120 mm
Maximum diameter: 300 mm
- Wood splitting along fibre is only allowed.
- Risk of getting jammed at branchy wood when splitting.
- Jammed piece of wood is released by tipping on the
wood.
- Cutting the split wood out prohibited!
Split wood length adjusting
Wood of various lengths can be split depending on the splitter
type:
Electric/hydraulic connection (pic. 6 and 7)
Plugging
All splitters are fitted with undervoltage release in the switch in
accordance with provisions of branch professional
organisations “CE“, etc. The release prevents automatic
starting of the appliance in case supply is interrupted as a
result of power failure, unintentional unplugging, defective
fuse, etc. The appliance must unconditionally be switched on
again by pressing the green switching button.
Wilful holding or blocking of the switching button with no
directly earthed conductor automatically leads to switch failure.
In this case that can subsequently be identified the guarantee
expires.
The appliance meets EN 61000-3-11 requirements and is
subject to special connection conditions. That means that
use on optionally selected connection points is
inadmissible.
The appliance can lead to occasional voltage fluctuations
under unfavourable power conditions.
The appliance is only designated to be used for connection
points not exceeding the maximum allowed impedance of
Zmax = 0,233 .
As a user, you must make sure your connection point on
which you want to use the appliance meets the above-
mentioned requirements – after agreement with your
electricity supplier if necessary.
Hydraulic equipment
Tightness needs to be checked at hydraulic hoses and
couplings after app. 4 running hours and tighting must be
provided if necessary.
Only at 400 V appliances: It is necessary to be particular
about the running direction of the engine (see the arrow
on the engine) as running in wrong running direction can
damage the oil pump. In such a case, all claims arising
from the guarantee expire. If necessary, have the running
direction changed by reversal of polarity of the plug by a
professional electrician. See pic. 6! (three-phase current
models only!)
Hydraulic oil/tank
Common hydraulic oil (e.g. HLP 46 or oil of different producer
of identical viscosity) can be filled in all splitters. Oil change is
not necessary.
Vent the tank before each operation by screwing the filling
screw out and in (pic. 7/A).
Operation
Attention: Make sure wood is cut at right angle, if
possible, and seated closely on the splitting table. Cross-
cut or extremely branchy wood can slide or bend the
service arms.
Always put wood on surfaces (tables) designated for
this purpose (never on the frame). That could damage the
splitter.
1. Start the engine by pressing the green switching button.
Attention: Be particular about the running direction of
the engine at 400 V models!
2. Keep the feeder cable as short as possible at 230
V models and select as big cross section as possible.
3. When the temperature is low, let the splitter run idle
for app. 15 minutes so that oil warms up to
corresponding temperature.
4. Put the split material on the table and hold it using
clamping plates on the lever.
5. Splitting starts by pressing both levers down (as soon as
the splitting knife enters wood tip the lever slightly out
while pressing it down. This will prevent holding sheets
(arms) from bending).
6. Lift at least one lever after you have finished splitting – the
splitter pillar will automatically go up.
It is strictly prohibited to operate the wood splitter in two
persons with one holding wood and the other one
pressing on the clamping plates. Blocking one lever
(clamping plate) is prohibited, too.
Transport instructions
Transport
All wood splitters are fitted with big wheels. Grasp the handle
on the splitting pillar with one hand and handle above the
engine with the other hand and slightly tilt the splitter to you for
transport purposes. The splitter can effortlessly be moved in
this position.
To prevent hydraulic oil leakage, never transport the splitter
laid down
.
Always let the splitting knife go absolutely down for transport.
Residual risks and protective measures
