ply plug before undertaking any converting,
maintenance, or cleaning work.
Always pull power plug!!
Skilled craftsmen can execute smaller re-
pairs on the machine themselves.
Repair and maintenance work on the

• Moving parts
Keep splitting knife guides clean from dirt,
wood chips, bark etc. Grease sliding rails
with oil spray or grease.
• Checking the hydraulic oil level
Check hydraulic connections and bolts for
tightness and wear. Re-tighten the bolts if
necessary.
Checking the oil level
The hydraulic unit is a closed system with
oil tank, oil pump and control valve. Check
the oil level regularly before every use. Too
low an oil level can damage the oil pump.
The correct oil level is approx. 10 to 20 mm
below the oil tank surface.
Note: The level of oil must be checked
when the riving knife is pulled back. If the oil
level is at the lower notch, then the oil level
is at a minimum. Should this be the case,
oil must be immediately added. The upper
notch indicates the maximum oil level. The
machine must be on level ground.
When must the oil be changed?
First oil change after 50 operating hours,
then every 500 operating hours.
Replacing the oil (Fig. P)
• Completely retract the splitting column.
• Put a container with a volume of at least
10 litres under the splitter.
• Loosen the ventilation cap (9).
• Open the oil drain plug (m) under the oil
tank so the oil can fow out.
