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 (01/15, 02/15) by roughly 1
– 2 turns so that the air can escape that is
displaced during operation by the heated and
expanding oil.
5. Plug the mains cable into plug socket (01/14,
02/14) of the appliance and then connect the
mains cable to the mains power supply.
Note: During disconnection, first disconnect
the mains cable from the mains power sup-
ply.
6.2 Check direction of rotation of motor
[LSV 560/8] (29)
IMPORTANT! Danger of damage to the hy-
draulic pump. The hydraulic pump will be dam-
aged if the motor rotates in the wrong direction.
■
Switch off the log splitter again immediately if
the motor rotates in the wrong direction or the
splitting wedge does not move upwards after
switching on.
■
Reverse the phases of the mains voltage.
1. At the same time:
■
Press green button (29/1) and then red
button (29/2) to allow the motor to run
briefly.
■
Observe the direction of rotation of the
motor through ventilation slots (29/3).
The direction of rotation must correspond
to the arrow (29/4) on the motor and the
splitting wedge must move upwards.
Note: If the splitting wedge is already in
the highest position, press the operating
arms briefly together and briefly down-
wards.
2. If the direction of rotation is not correct or the
splitting wedge does not move:
■
Stop the motor immediately.
■
Reverse the phases of the mains voltage:
see chapter 6.3 "Reversing phases of the
mains voltage [LSV 560/8] (30)",
page 36.
6.3 Reversing phases of the mains voltage
[LSV 560/8] (30)
1. Switch off the log splitter immediately and un-
plug the mains cable.
2. Insert a flat-tip screwdriver into phase invert-
er (30/1) in mains plug socket (30/2) of the
log splitter.

3. Press in the phase inverter and turn by 180°.
4. Plug in the mains cable.
5. Switch on the log splitter and check the direc-
tion of rotation of the motor again, see chap-
ter 6.2 "Check direction of rotation of motor
[LSV 560/8] (29)", page 36.

Carry out function check (31)

1. Press green button (31/1) to switch on. The
splitting wedge (31/2) automatically moves
upwards.
■
If the splitting wedge is already in the up-
permost position, briefly press the two
operating arms (31/3) together and
downwards, then switch the log splitter
off and on again. Press red button (31/4)
to switch off.
■
On LSV 560/8, if the splitting wedge does
not move upwards: Switch off the log
splitter immediately to prevent appliance
damage. Check direction of rotation of
the motor and correct, if necessary (see
chapter 6.2 "Check direction of rotation of
motor [LSV 560/8] (29)", page 36).
2. Carry out function check:
■
Press both operating arms together and
downwards simultaneously. The splitting
wedge must move downwards and stop
approx. 5 cm above the uppermost table
position.
■
Release one of the operating arms. The
splitting wedge must stop in the momen-
tary position.
■
Release both operating arms simultane-
ously. The splitting wedge moves up-
wards.

7 OPERATION

WARNING! Risk of injury if operated by
more than one person. Operation of the appli-
ance by two or more persons can result in seri-
ous injuries.
■
Operate the appliance only alone and never
reach into the splitting area during splitting.
■
Keep other persons away and in particular
prevent them from reaching into the log that
is currently being split.
