10.5 Switching on/off (Fig. 13)
Note:
Check the function of the on/off switch by switch-
ing it on and off again once before each use.
1. Connect the electrical power connection (34) to
the mains socket.
2. To switch on, press the green button on the on/off
switch (24), the device switches on.
3. To switch off, press the red button on the on/off
switch (24), the device switches off.
4. Disconnect the electrical power connection (34)
from the mains socket when you want to finish
work.
10.6 Check the direction of rotation of the motor
(17) (Fig. 1, 13, 13a)
m Attention!
The direction of rotation of 3-phase motors must
be checked when they are connected for the first
time or if they are relocated. If necessary the polar-
ity must be changed with the phase inverter.
1. Switch the motor (17) on (see section 10.5).
2. If the correct running direction is set, the splitting
column (2) automatically moves upwards.
3. If the splitting column (2) does not move, switch
the device off immediately.
Make sure that the stop lever (21) is released.
4. Change the direction of rotation of the phase in-
verter with a screwdriver (not included in the scope
of delivery) in the power connection (34).
m Attention!
Never allow the motor to run with the wrong direc-
tion of rotation! This will inevitably lead to the de-
struction of the hydraulic system and no warranty
claim can be made for this.
11. Operation
11.1 Splitting logs
m WARNING!
Danger of injury!
Dry and seasoned wood can explode during the split-
ting process and injure the operator.
During the splitting process, bruising or severing of
body parts may occur due to retracting of the riving
knife.
Pieces of wood that are produced during a splitting pro-
cess can fall down.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
46 | GB
Make sure that the wood to be split does not contain
nails or foreign objects. The end of the log must be cut
straight. Branches must be sawn off flush.
Pieces of wood cut at an angle can slip away during
the splitting process. Only split timbers that have been
sawn off straight.
11.2 Setting the stroke setting bar (fig. 1, 14, 14a)

using the control lever on the right (5) and the con-
trol lever on the left (18).
2. Release the control lever on the left (18).
3. Actuate the stop lever (21).
4. Now release the operating lever right (5).
5. Switch the motor (17) off (see section 10.5).
6. Loosen the locking screw (stroke setting bar) (36).
7. Guide the stroke setting bar with the cap nut
(stroke setting bar) (35) upwards until the stroke
setting bar is stopped on the stop.
8. Tighten the locking screw (stroke setting bar) (36).
9. Switch the motor (17) on (see section 10.5).
10. Slowly release the stop lever (21) and check the
top position of the splitting wedge (3).
11.3 Operation of the log lifter (7) (Fig. 17, 17a)
1. Swivel the swivel table (8) to the side with your
foot.
2. Fold the operating arm on the right (4) backwards
onto the magnetic stop (37).
3. Release the log lifter lock (26) of the log lifter (7) so
that the lifting tube can move freely.
4. Lower the splitting wedge (3) until the log lifter (7)
rests completely on the ground.
5. Roll the material to be split onto the log lifter (7)
and the base plate (11). The splitting material must
lie between the two fixings of the log lifter (7).
6. Actuate the stop lever (21).
7. Switch the motor (17) on (see section 10.5).
8. Slowly loosen the stop lever (21).
9. The trunk lifter (7) moves upwards and positions
the log on the base plate (11).
10. Make sure that the log is placed centrally to the
splitting wedge (3).
11. Split the split material. Proceed as described in
section 11.4.
