moments until the motor has reached its operating
revolut

been built up in
the hydraulic pump.

At temperatures below –5° C, let the log splitter run

 Special instructions for splitting logs:
 Preparations:
The logs to be split should be cut to the maximum
dimensions. Ensure also that the logs are cut straight and
square.
Place the log properly on the log splitter, so as not to cause
any risk of stumbling or falling to the operator.

Adjusting the stroke height
In case of shorter wood pieces the efficiency can be
increased by shortening the
return of the splitting cutter.
1. Place the log on the splitting table and press the
two control handles to bring the splitting blade
down to approx. 2 cm above the log.
2. Release one control handle so that the blade
stays in this position.
3. Switch the machine off and disconnect the power.
4. Release the second control handle.
5. Shorten the re-
turn path
at the
rod fitted to the
side by fixing the
holding screw at
the necessary
height.
