or fuel cap.  
switched on. Pieces of wood should  
have straight cutting surfaces; if not,  
the least straight end and longest  
section of the wood should be laid  
towards the splitting column and  
splitting wedge, and the straight end  
towards the stop plate. If the unit is  
operated in a vertical position, the  
piece of wood should be stabilised  
before the operating lever is actuated.  
To split wood vertically, proceed as  
follows:  
Place the piece of wood on the  
stop plate and turn the piece of  
wood until it is situated securely  
on the splitting column.  
Spare parts must satisfy the require-  
ments specified by the manufacturer.  
Therefore use only original spare parts  
or those spare parts authorised by the  
manufacturer.  
Safe operating practices  
Using the unit correctly  
When splitting very thick or  
uneven pieces of wood, stabilise  
the wood with wooden wedges  
or split wood placed between the  
piece of wood and the stop plate.  
This wood splitter is designed to be  
used  
– for splitting firewood for private use  
– in accordance with the descriptions  
and safety instructions indicated in  
this operating manual.  
Any other use is not as intended.

third parties and damage to their  
property.  
Arbitrary changes to the unit will  
exclude the manufacturer from any  
liability for resulting injury and/or  
damage.  
Have repairs carried out by a repair  
shop only.  
While operating the unit  
When splitting wood, always keep  
fingers away from cracks in the wood;  
cracks can close quickly and trap or  
crush fingers.  
Always keep the work area clean.  
To prevent tripping hazards,  
immediately remove split wood  
from the area of the unit.  
Never move the unit while the engine  
is running. Exercise extreme caution  
when pulling/pushing the unit.  
Never sit or lie down on the unit.  
Never transport people or cargo on the

During operation hydraulic wood  
splitters build up high fluid pressures.  
Leaking hydraulic fluid may damage  
skin and result in septicaemia or even  
death. Always observe the following  
instructions:  
When operating or working on the  
unit, wear appropriate work clothes  
such as: long trousers, hard-toed  
boots, ear protection, protective  
gloves, tight-fitting clothing, goggles.

do not smoke. Operate the unit in  
daylight or adequate artificial lighting  
only. Always ensure that all persons,  
particularly children, and animals are  
outside the working area (minimum  
distance 15 metres). When inserting  
a piece of wood, always hold it at the  
sides, never at the ends; never steady  
the wood by supporting it with your  
foot or leg. Otherwise, this may result  
in the crushing or amputation of

The utilised means of transport  
(e.g. transportation vehicle, loading  
platform, etc.) must be used as  
intended (see associated operating  
manual). If transported on a transpor-  
tation vehicle, the unit must be  
secured to prevent it from slipping.

Note: To stop the wedge movement,  
release one or both operating levers.  
To move the splitting wedge back-  
wards, simultaneously press both  
operating levers to the REVERSE  
position, i.e. to the right or up  
(depending on the position of the  
splitting column).  
Only one person should steady  
the piece of wood and actuate the

environmental hazard.  
Transport the unit in a horizontal  
position only.  
Note: Pieces of wood should have  
straight cutting surfaces. If pieces of  
wood have not been cut straight, the  
least straight end and longest section  
of the wood should be laid towards the  
splitting column and splitting wedge,  
and the straight end towards the stop  
plate. If the unit is operated in a  
vertical position, the piece of wood  
should be stabilised before the  
operating lever is actuated. To split  
wood vertically, proceed as follows:  
When the splitting wedge is  
moving backwards, the stripper  
removes partially split wood from  
the splitting wedge. This may be  
required when splitting freshly cut  
wood or thick pieces of wood.  
Maintenance/Cleaning  
Caution /Danger  
Risk of injury from engine starting  
unintentionally.  
Protect yourself from injuries.  
Work carefully and always wear  
goggles and protective gloves.  
Note: Pieces of wood with ingrowing  
branches are always difficult to split.  
If a piece of wood becomes jammed  
in the splitting wedge, first switch the  
unit off. When removing the piece of  
wood, do not place hands between the  
two parts.  
Then attempt to split the piece of  
wood at another point.

Operating Manual for Wood Splitter  
Before carrying out any work on this  
unit  
Hydraulic filter  
Retighten the locknuts to fix the  
adjusting screws in this position.  
Change the hydraulic filter every  
50 operating hours. Use a 10-micron  
hydraulic filter (original filter) only.  
Switch off the engine.  
Move the operating lever to  
Neutral.  
Adjusting the skid  
Fig. 14  
Splitting column and splitting  
wedge  
The skid blocks (3) between the  
wedge module and the guide plates (6)  
should be adjusted regularly.  
Note: To ensure that the skid blocks  
wear evenly, they can be rotated  
and/or turned over.  
Wait until all moving parts have  
come to a standstill; leave the  
engine to cool down.  
Remove spark-plug terminal from  
the engine to prevent the engine  
from starting unintentionally.  
Before repairing, adjusting or  
checking hoses, hose connections,  
pipelines or other components,  
depressurise the hydraulics.  
Before using the unit, always  
lubricate both sides of the splitting  
column (where it comes into  
contact with the splitting wedge)  
with engine oil. The wedge plate  
on the wood splitter has been  
designed in such a way that the  
skid blocks on the side of the  
wedge plate can be removed and  
rotated and/or turned over to  
ensure even wear.  
Loosen the nuts (5) under each  
guide plate (6) and push out the  
4 skid blocks (3).  
Turn over or replace skid blocks.  
Re-attach the guide plates (6) and  
secure with the lock washers (4)  
and nuts (5).  
Cleaning  
Caution  
When re-adjusting the adjusting  
screws, ensure that the wedge can  
move freely, however there  
should not be too much play  
between the wedge plate and  
splitting column.  
Re-adjust the adjusting screws (2)  
on the side of the wedge module.  
Risk of damaging the unit.  
Do not clean the unit with a high-  
pressure cleaner, garden hose or water.

If possible, clean the unit directly  
after work.  
Park the unit on firm and level  
ground.  
Secure the unit to prevent it from  
rolling away.  
Hose clips

Before using the unit, always check  
that the hose clips on the intake hose  
and return-flow hose are tight.

Maintenance  
Disposal and the environment  
Caution  
Oil is an environmental hazard.  
When changing the oil, hand over  
waste oil to a waste oil collection  
centre or a disposal company.

Flexible pump coupling  
The flexible pump coupling is a nylon  
insert designed like a cross coupling  
between the pump and engine shaft.  
Eventually the coupling hardens and  
the function deteriorates. The coupling  
should be replaced if vibrations or  
noises can be detected in the area  
between the pump and engine.

Servicing the unit  
Hydraulic fluid and oil tank filter  
Adjustment work  
Adjusting the splitting wedge  
module  
Before using the unit, always  
check the hydraulic fluid level in  
the oil tank of the wood splitter.  
Always maintain the level within  
the indicated area between “Min  
and Max” (see dipstick).  
Have a repair shop change  
the hydraulic fluid every  
100 operating hours and clean  
the oil tank filter.  
Never strike the engine shaft in any  
way, as the engine may be  
permanently damaged.  
Fig. 14  
On account of normal wear and too  
much “play” between the splitting  
wedge and splitting column, the  
screws on the side of the splitting  
wedge module should be re-adjusted  
in order to eliminate an excessively  
large gap between the splitting wedge  
and splitting column.  
Tyres  
Check the tyre pressure each month.  
The maximum tyre pressure is 2 bar  
(see also manufacturer’s  
recommendation on the tyre walls)  
and should always be the same for  
both tyres.  
Note: Contaminants in the hydraulic  
fluid may damage parts of the  
hydraulic system. Any work,  
maintenance and service work on the  
hydraulic system may be carried out  
by an authorised repair shop only.  
Loosen the lock nuts (1) on the  
two adjusting screws (2).  
Screw in the adjusting screws  
until they are tight, then slowly  
slacken them a little (approx.  
1.5 revolutions) until the wedge  
can be moved on the column.  
Engine  
Follow all instructions in the engine  
operating manual.
