This splitter „HS 80-2 B“ is conceived for splitting short and long logs for firewood preparation only. BEWARE: no cross-grain splitting is permitted. Always split grain-wise and never split one log on top of the other.
OPERATING INSTRUCTION 5.1 Safety Install the splitter on flat, clear working surface. The wor- king area around the machine must be kept as clear as possib- le from surrounding obstacles and slippery foundation floors should be duly treated. Never reach with your hands with the wedge sliding zone while the splitter is operated! 5.2 Initial check-ups Before first use, make sure that the log splitter is in good conditions...
5.4 Functional controls before start up The log splitter is equipped with safety two-hands mechanical controls designed for the operator to keep both hands free from danger and from infringing the moving ram zone during the entire splitting cycle (see fi gure.2). It is strongly recommended to check the operation of the two- hand control every time before a new use.
5.6 Setting the log clamps In order to hold the log firmly under the wedge during the entire split- ting cycle, use the special log-clamps located on each control handle. Both log clamps will automatically adjust to your log diameter thanks to the spring force.
5.8 Operating instructions Start the gasoline motor following the instructions of Honda Motor supplied with your splitter. Now switch the splitter on. Load a chunk on the short-logs table, close the control handles until firmly securing the log by means of the clamps located on the handles. Now push both handles down at the same time to start the cycle and engage the ram that will immediately start travelling down.
5.10 About the gasoline engine Before starting your machine, make sure that a visual control of the engine conditions is successfully performed. Check the level of the feuel and of the lubrication oil in the tank (using the special motor gauges) andmake sure there are no visible mechanical defects or damages on the engine and on the machine.
4-WAYS WEDGE AND SPLAY-WEDGE (ACCESSORIES) On request, the log splitter can be factory equipped with a 4-ways wedge and/or a splay wedge. The 4-ways wedge is designed for splitting each log in 4 sticks in one cycle. The splay wedge can be used for cleaving big, hardwood logs and facilitates breaking through the log.
REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE Make sure that the machine is fully disconnected and all mo- ving parts are secured before performing any maintenance/re- pair work on the machine. In the event of any malfunctioning, switch the machine off before trouble-shooting. 8.1 Regular maintenance Make maintenance a regular part of daily operation.
8.3 Sliding Pads Should irregular noisy knocks be heard while the ram is sliding up and down, grease the plastic sliding pads located inside the splitter stand. Preferably use commercial grease available in your country. The noisy knocks should disappear after greasing. Should you detect an unusually larger gap between the wedge riser and the stand, sliding pads are likely to be worn out.
9. DISMOUNTING AND DISCARDING AN OBSOLETE MACHINE When the splitter is fully obsolete and cannot be of any longer use, it should be duly dismounted ahead od discarding. Certain components need deactivation and dismantling in order to assure that no further use is made by other parties and that no worn out parts are recycled for other applications.
