5.1 Setting up and connecting log splitter
WARNING! Danger of injury if the log
splitter tips over. A tipping log splitter can result
in serious injury and material damage.
■
Set up the log splitter on firm and level
ground.
■
Do not place any material under the log split-
ter to change its height or to try to increase
its stability.
1. Set up the log splitter horizontally and se-
curely so that it cannot tip over.
2. Anchor the log splitter to the ground at the
appliance leg using two suitable screws
(16/1, 28/1) and possibly dowels to prevent it
from tipping over.
3. Lay the mains cable in such a way that it can-
not be kinked, crushed or damaged in any
other way.
4. Open vent screw (01/4, 02/4) by roughly 1 –
2 turns so that the air can escape that is dis-
placed during operation by the heated and
expanding oil.

power socket.
Note:To disconnect the appliance from the
mains power supply, pull out the plug again.
