Log splitter with 400 V 3~
Make sure that the motor turns in the
correct direction (see motor arrow), because operation in the
wrong direction damages the oil pump.
 Switch on motor; the splitting blade automatically moves to the
highest position.
 If the splitting blade is already in its highest position: grip both
operating handles and push them down. The splitting blade
moves downwards.
 If the splitting blade does not move after the motor has started,
switch off the motor and change the direction of rotation.
You can change the
direction by placing a
screw-driver in the slot
provided in the plug
collar, and adjust the
correct direction by
moving to the left or
right applying slight
pressure.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Additional
 The log splitter may only be operated by a single person.
 The machine may only be operated by persons over the age
of 18 years, and who have read and understood these
operating instructions.
 Wear protective equipment (safety goggles/mask, gloves,
safety shoes) to protect yourself from possible injury.
 Never try to split logs containing nails, wire or other similar
objects.
 Already split wood and wood chips create a dangerous
working area. The operator may stumble, slip or fall. Always
keep the working area neat and tidy.
 Never place the hands on or near any moving parts of the
machine when it is switched on. Maintain a safe distance from
the log, the ram and the wedge in order to protect your hands
from injury.
 The machine should only be used for splitting logs with a
maximum length of 1300 mm.

Check before splitting if the splitting column has been

sufficiently lubricated to allow its trouble-free retraction and
extension.

What type of logs can I split?
Size of logs
Length: max. 1300 mm
Diameter: min. 120 – max. 400 mm
The log diameter is a recommended guideline figure, because:
 thin logs can be difficult to split if they contain knots or if the
fibres are too strong.
Do not try to split green logs. Dry logs are much easier to split,
and do not cause jams as often as green (damp) wood.
Hardwood tend to bursting: Exercise utmost caution!
Be aware that wood with knots can burst open. Never split
wood that has not been debranched beforehand.
Never split wood that contains foreign objects such as nails,
wire or the like.
 Preparations:
The logs to be split should be cut to the maximum dimensions.
Ensure also that the logs are cut straight and square. Wood with
slanting ends can slip off during splitting.
Place the log properly on the log splitter, so as not to cause any
risk of stumbling or falling to the operator.
