• Only ever split logs that have been sawn off straight.
• Split the log vertically.
• Never split it lying down or diagonally to the grain!
• Wear suitable gloves and safety boots when splitting
wood.
• Split very misshapen logs from the edge.
Caution: During splitting, some logs can be un-
der significant tension and suddenly break.
• Force jammed logs out by applying pressure in
the splitting direction or by raising the riving
knife. In this case, only push the handles up,
do not use the return bracket. Caution: Risk of
injury
Operating the log lifter (8)
General information about the log lifter:
• For safety reasons, the log lifter chain may only be
hung on the splitting blade with the last link.
• Ensure that nobody else is within the working envi-
ronment of the log lifter.
Operating the log lifter:
• Loosen the log lifter restraining hook so the lifting
tube can move freely.
• Move the splitting blade so far down that the log lifter
lifting tube lies on the ground.
• In this position, you can roll the log to be split onto
the lifting tube. (The log has to be between the two
fixing tips.)
• Push the return bracket down or the handles up so
the splitting blade moves up. (Caution! Do not stand
in the working environment of the log lifter! Risk of
injury!)
• Then remove the split wood and move the riving
knife and therefore the log lifter back down.
• Now you can roll a new log onto the log lifter.
Resetting the log lifter
This is used as a second guard arm when not using
the trunk lifter or when automatic return is enabled. For
this, the arm is moved up until it locks in position in
the hook.
Transport position of the log lifter:
• Using your hand, move the log lifter up until it locks
in position.
Comply with these notices to ensure quick and
safe work.
11. Electrical connection
The electrical motor installed is connected and
ready for operation. The connection complies with
the applicable VDE and DIN provisions. The cus-
tomer's mains connection as well as the exten-
sion cable used must also comply with these reg-
ulations.
• The product meets the requirements of EN 61000-
3-11 and is subject to special connection conditions.
This means that use of the product at any freely se-
lectable connection point is not allowed.
• Given unfavourable conditions in the power supply
the product can cause the voltage to fluctuate tem-
porarily.
• The product is intended solely for use at connection
points that
a) do not exceed a maximum permitted supply im-
pedance "Z" (Zmax = 0,354 Ω (230V) / 1,043 Ω
(400V)), or
b) have a continuous current-carrying capacity of
the mains of at least 100 A per phase.
• As the user, you are required to ensure, in consulta-
tion with your electric power company if necessary,
that the connection point at which you wish to oper-
ate the product meets one of the two requirements,
a) or b), named above.
Damaged electrical connection cable
The insulation on electrical connection cables is of-
ten damaged.
This may have the following causes:
• Passage points, where connection cables are
passed through windows or doors.
• Kinks where the connection cable has been improp-
erly fastened or routed.
• Places where the connection cables have been cut
due to being driven over.
• Insulation damage due to being ripped out of the wall
outlet.
• Cracks due to the insulation ageing.
Such damaged electrical connection cables must not
be used and are life-threatening due to the insulation
damage.
Check the electrical connection cables for damage
regularly. Make sure that the connection cable does
not hang on the power network during the inspection.
