Application
These Operating Instructions apply to
the following machines:
Correct Application
The log splitter is only suited for split-
ting logs up to a maximum length of
55cm / 105cm.
Description
The log splitter is a wood splitting
machine with a maximum log splitting
length of 55cm / 105cm. The stroke
of the riving knife is variable for shorter
logs.
The splitting tool is hydraulically driven.
The hydraulic system is driven by an
electric motor.
The machine is operated by a two-hand
control lever safety element with inte-
grated log gripper. On releasing both
operating levers, the riving knife auto-
matically returns to its base position.
The log is positioned on a pressure
plate under the riving knife. During the
operation the riving knife pushes down
into the log, causing it to split.

General Safety Regulations
The machine may only be opera-
ted by personnel understanding the
function, dangers and operating
instructions.
Only operate machine if securely
installed.
Minimum operator age: 18.
Always wear protective shoes and
tight clothing.
Never use faulty supply linesn.
Ensure that working area is suf-
ficiently illuminated, as insufficient illu-
mination increases the danger of injury
considerably!
Machines with electrical drive must
not be operated in rainy weather as
this could lead to a defect of the switch
or the electrical motor!
Only operate machine with one ope-
rator!
Do not hold log whilst splitting.
Keep operating area free from wood
chips and remnants.
Never split logs that have been cut
diagonally!
Never leave running machine unat-
tended.
Switch off drive before removing
stuck logs.
The minimum log length is 10cm,
the maximum log length is 55cm /
100cm.
Never work without guards.
Switch off drive before changing
machine.
Always completely retract riving knife
for transportation and when machine
is stopped.
Only use original “Mr.Paldu“ spare
parts.
All electrical work must be carried
out by qualified electricians.
Noise Information
The operational noise level is 70 db(A).

Operating the log splitter
Start-up of Machine
Set-up
Position machine on level and firm
ground. Position board under feet if
ground is too soft.
Caution! Only operate machine if set
up securely!
Note: In temperatures below 0°C, leave
machine to idle for approx. 5 minutes
without operating the control lever until
the hydraulic system has reached its
operating temperature.
230 V Motor Models
Connect machine to power supply.
• Supply voltage 230 V (use 16 A
fuse).
• The supply cable must have a
minimum diameter of 2,5 mm2.
The machine is supplied with a
retracted riving knife. On switching on
the motor, the riving knife moves up.
400 V Motor Models
Connect machine to power supply.
• Supply voltage 400 V (use 16 A
fuse).
Caution! The mains supply must not
fall below 340 V in order to avoid
damages to the switch.
• The supply cable must have a
minimum diameter of 2,5 mm2.
The machine is supplied with a
retracted riving knife. On switching on
the motor, the riving knife moves up.
• If it does not move up, the rota-
tional direction of the motor must be
changed (see arrow on motor). Push
disk in plug with a screwdriver and
turn by 180°.
Fig. 3 - Phase reverser
Caution! If the plugging connections
are too tight the CEE-plug can be torn
out of the switch case.
• Remedial measures are the use
of trade mark plugs and the use of
a silicone spray.

Page 7
Operating the log splitter
Note: We cannot grant any warranty
replacements for such damages at the
switch resulting of above.
Check direction of rotation:
Switch motor on and off and observe
rotation direction before motor stops.
Caution! An incorrect rotation direction
may cause pump breakage!
Splitting Operation
Stand the log on the mounting table
between both hand grips under the
riving knife. Pay attention to the com-
position of the log (branches, etc.).
Fig. 4 - Two-hand control lever
Then move the log into the right posi-
tion using both hand grips. Pull both
cable hand grips at the same time to
trigger off a splitting stroke. The riving
knife cleaves into the wood and splits
it.
As soon as just one of the cable hand
grips is released, the riving knife stops
moving. If both hand grips are released,
the riving knife returns to the starting
position.
Caution! The machinery has been
designed for single-man operation only!
The log must not be held by a helper
during splitting and the return stroke

of the riving knife! Otherwise there is
a great danger of injury.
Splitting logs of various
lengths
By changing the position of the moun-
ting table, logs of different lengths can
be split.

Adjusting height of mounting table
Place mounting table at desired height
using the mounting device (see arrow).

Adjustment of Splitting
Movement (stroke)
The machine out of the factory is adju-
sted for the maximum ram stroke. The
stroke can be steplessly adjusted up
to 54cm:
1. Retract the ram.
2. Turning off the machine.
3. Detach chain and reattach at the
desired height.

Transportation
Transport machine only with splitting
tool retracted.
The machine may only be transpor-
ted upright or leaning backwards. When
lying down for transportation, replace
ventilation screw with a closing bolt G1/

Lift the machine, tilt to the operator
and move.

Riving Knife Guide
The knife guide must be greased at all
times. (Apply grease with brush).
Note: Do not use oil as this can
damage plastic guides.
Hydraulic System
Note: Check oil level when riving knife
is retracted.
A full oil sight glass corresponds to
maximum oil level.
A half full oil sight glass corresponds
to a minimum oil level.
If this is the case, refill with hydraulic
oil immediately!

Oil Change
Caution! Dispose of used oil in accor-
dance with environmental regulations.
Check legal environmental regulations.
Note: Before changing oil, retract riving
knife.
The first oil change should be carried
out after 50 operating hours and fur-
ther oil changes should also be carried
out every 50 operating hours or at least
once yearly.
Fig. 7 - Oil change
Turn both ventilation screws (1) out
of the frame (2), turn machine upside-
down and have the outcoming oil rinse
into a collection container.
Then turn machine in normal posi-
tion again and fill in the new oil. At
each ventilation screw there has to be
filled in about 1,5 lt. of oil.
Control oil level at the oil sight-glass
(3).
When oil sight-glass is filled switch
on machine and move spitting knife
two- or threetimes out and in.
Then check oil level again and fill
up oil if necessary.
