10
Risk of personal injury and crushing by moving parts!
Do not operate the machine without installed safety guards.
When the splitter is turned on, the splitting knife immediately travels to the top
of its travel automatically. Be sure that there is about 1 meter of clearance
above the splitting knife.
Keep sufficient distance to driven components when operating the machine.
Do not hold the log to be split directly with your hands. Use the claws on the
operating levers only.
Always operate the splitting wedge with both hands on the operating levers.
Always assume a proper, safe work position:
- at the front on the operator side
- Directly in front of the splitter
Danger of injury due to unexpected, sudden movement of the
log being split!
Only split one piece of wood at a time.
Always position the log vertically on the support table.
Always split a log lengthwise in the same direction as the wood fibers run.
Logs with branch stubs can be very difficult to split (irregular cross-grain
structure). If a log gets caught on the splitting wedge, turn the splitter OFF before
attempting to free it. When removing a stuck log, do not reach into the area
between it and the support table.After freeing the log, do not try to split it again at
the same place. Try splitting it again in another place.
6.1 Splitting
1. Start the splitter (1) - by pressing the GREEN
switch.
2. Place a log vertically on the support table (3).
3. Hold the log in place with the claws on the

4. Move the operating levers (2) . Movement of
the cleaver is controlled by means of the two
operating levers (2). There are three possible
actions:
- Press both operating levers downward –
The work cycle starts, and the splitting

11
knife moves downward to split the log.
- Press only one operating lever downward –The splitting knife stops.
- Release both operating levers –The splitting knife moves back upward to its
start position.
The splitting knife stops automatically in the upper or lower position (end of
travel).
5. When the log is split, release both operating levers –The splitting knife then
returns to its start position.
6. Remove the split pieces of wood, and place them off to the side and out of the
immediate work area –Now you are ready to continue splitting.
7. If you do not intend to continue working immediately, turn off the splitter by
pressing the RED switch.
6.2 Changing the position of the support
table
In addition to the height options provided by the
three pivoting support tables (4), you can put
the support table (4) in the three different
positions for different length of logs, and the
different maximum length of log as the
following:
1. Support table on position 1: 1040mm
2. Support table on position 2: 770mm
3. Support table on position 3: 520mm

* The values stated here only indicate the loudness emitted by this machine. Whether
the operator is required to wear hearing protection can not be determined here. This
depends on how much noise reaches the ear of the operator. And this, among other
things, depends on the existing ambient conditions (such as other sources of noise near
by). Even though it may not be explicitly required, it is in your own interest to always
wear hearing protection when operating this machine.
