 Adjusting the splitting cross:
1. Loosen star

L Possible mal-
function when cleaving
logs:
The log to be
cleaved is not cleaved
right through, jams on
the cleaving blade and
is pulled up during the
blade’s return
movement.
In this case, proceed as
follows:
1. Switch off the device.
2. Depending on the log still to be cleaved fix the table
plate in the middle or upper position.
3. Switch on the device and continue the splitting operation.
Never try to split two logs at once.
Never try to remove or replace the log during the
splitting process.
L Never try to force the splitting
of the log by maintaining
the pressure for several seconds. This can lead to damage
to the machine.
Position the log on the table again and repeat the splitting
phase, or put the log on one side.
How to release a jammed log?
There is a risk of knotted logs getting stuck during the
splitting process.
1. Switch machine off and disconnect the power.
2. Do not remove jammed logs with your hand
s.
3. Carefully move the stuck log with a crowbar backwards
and forwards to loosen it. Don´t damage the splitting
pillar.
