Splitting log (15)

CAUTION!
Risk of injury due to un-
tidy workplace
Untidiness and logs lying
around pose a risk of trip-
ping and slipping in the
working area.
■
Store the logs to be split
in a tidy pile.
■
Immediately remove
split logs and wood
chips from the working
area.
1. For LSV 7 and LSV 8: Adjust the retaining
claws to the diameter of the logs to be split
(see chapter 5.5 "Adjusting retaining claws
[LSV 7, LSV 8] (10)", page 40).
2. Place the log absolutely perpendicularly onto
the splitting table.
Note: The log must stand freely on the split-
ting table. Never try to split crooked logs!
3. Press both operating arms together simulta-
neously so that the log is clamped (15/a).
4. Press both operating arms down simultane-
ously (15/b). The splitting wedge moves

Removing a jammed log

CAUTION!
Risk of injury from a
jammed log flying out
If a jammed log flies out of
the appliance, injuries can
be caused and the appli-
ance may be damaged.
■
Never try to free a
jammed log using tools.
1. Allow the splitting wedge to travel up com-
pletely.
2. Position a wedge-shaped log on the splitting
table.
3. Allow the splitting wedge to travel down. The
jammed log is forced forwards by the wedge-
shaped log.
4. Repeat the steps above with larger wedges
in turn until the jammed log is freed.
