Mains Connection - ATIKA ASP 6 L Manual Original

Venting
Vent the hydraulic system before putting the log splitter into
operation.
 Unscrew the oil cap by several turns so that air may
escape from the oil tank.
 Leave the oil cap open during operation.
oil cap

Close the oil cap before moving the log splitter, as
otherwise oil will leak at this point.

If the hydraulic system is not vented, the trapped air will
damage the seals and cause permanent damage to the log
splitter.

Mains connection

 Compare the voltage given on the machine model plate e.g.
230 V with the mains voltage and connect the machine to the
relevant and properly earthed plug.
 Only use connection cables with sufficient cross-sections.
 Connect the machine via a 30 mA fault current safety switch.

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 1030 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. 1030 mm
Diameter: min. 120 – max. 300 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.
