    SAFETY Strictly perform installation, set-up, maintenance, cleaning and transportation with the motor switched off and the blade firmly secured against accidental operation.Immediately disconnect power off the machine in case of any eventual fault or trouble. The user shall strictly comply with these operation, set-up, mainte- nance, repair and trouble-shooting instructions in order to assure safe operation and no damages to the equipment.
  • Page 9: Mandatory Application Field

    Log splitters are one-man operation machines only. Never allow mo- re than one person approach and work on the machine at the same time. The model “SM 300” is conceived for splitting logs for firewood preparation only. BEWARE: no cross-grain splitting is permitted. Al- ways split grain-wise.
  • Page 10: Operation

    OPERATION 5.1 Splitter set-up For optimized transport dimensions and more effective handling, the unit is shipped by the manufacturer with the ram fully retracted over the log carriage. To set the unit ready for splitting you first need some minor setup work. Bolt the cylinder flange firmly on the steel casing (Figure 1).
  • Page 11: Initial Check-Up

    BEWARE: an excessively backwards leaning position of the splitter during transportati- on may result into oil leakage from the oil plug. See page 16 for oil change instructions. At low ambient temperature the oil in the hydraulic circuit will thicken. In this case, it is recommended to avoid sudden start-up (splitting wi- thout warming the motor up) that could result into damages and trou- ble of the hydraulic system.To assure trouble free operation of the hy-...
  • Page 12: Operating Safety

    5.6 Operating safety Choose a flat, dry, and solid location to operate your splitter. Make sure that the area is free of slippery surfaces and objects to trip over. Slippery and icy floor conditions must be duly treated to ensure solid standing conditions.
  • Page 13: Operation

    The extension table attaches quickly and easily to the carriage without having to use any special tool or equipment. Insert the central lug into the special slot in the front bracket of the cover plate. Now lift the extension table slightly up and keep settling it until the canted lugs are hooked up in the back of the mounting pla- tes on the beam.
  • Page 14: Handling And Transportation

    HANDLING AND TRANSPORTATION Before handling, moving or transporting the splitter make sure to cut the power off (unplug the machine). This machine is conceived for very er- gonomic easy handling thanks to the special wheel arrangement in the rear bottom part of the machine (fi g. 5). Dismount the extension table (6) Fig.
  • Page 15: Splitting Wedge And Cleaving Wedge

    SPLITTING WEDGE AND CLEAVING WEDGE On request, the log splitter can be factory equipped with a 4-ways wedge (Pos. 8, Fig. 6) and/or a splay wedge (Pos. 9, Fig. 7). The 4-ways wedge (8) is designed for splitting each log in 4 sticks in one cycle.
  • Page 16: Repairs And Maintenance

    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 Ordinary periodic maintenance Make maintenance a regular part of daily operation.
  • Page 17: Sliding Pads In The Log Carriage

    After refilling the tank with new oil, let the splitter cycle three or four ti- mes and let the air blow out of the hydraulic loop before closing the cap. 8.3 Sliding pads Should irregular noisy knocks be heard while the ram is shifting back and forth, grease the plastic sliding pads located inside the log carria- ge.
  • Page 18: Disposal

    DISPOSAL When the splitter is fully obsolete and cannot be of any longer use, it should be duly dismounted ahead of 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.
