6. Fasten the retainer hook to the frame with two screws (c1).

7.  Attaching the log lifter(Fig. 9)

8. Fasten the trunk lifter to the retaining lug with the screw (d1). Attach the chain (6) to the splitting blade.

9.  Attaching the additional wheel (Fig. 10)
   Attach the transport wheel as shown in Fig. 10. Fas- ten the wheel in the top hole (a) or the bottom hole (b) with the locking pin.

10. Moving the transport handle (5) to the trans- port position (fig. 11)
    The transport handle is already pre-mounted on the splitter and is fastened in the working position. Loos- en the pin and move the transport handle (5) down until the pin can be inserted into the next hole to fix the position of the transport handle. See steps 1 – 3.

IMPORTANT!
You must fully assemble the appliance before using it for the first time!

Initial operation

Make sure the machine is completely and expertly assembled. Check before every use:

• The connection cables for any defective spots (cracks, cuts etc.).
• The machine for any possible damage.
• The firm seat of all bolts.
• The hydraulic system for leakage.
• The oil level.
• Functional check

Checking the oil level (Fig. 15)
The hydraulic unit is a closed system with oil tank, oil pump and control valve. Check the oil level regu- larly before every use. Too low an oil level can dam- age the oil pump. 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. Screw in the oil dipstick fully, to measure the oil level.

E- Motor
Check the running direction of the motor. If the split-ting arm is not in the top position, bring the splitting blade in the top position, using the return bracket or handles. If the splitting arm is already in the top posi-tion, activate the splitting mechanism by moving both levers down. This will move the splitting arm down. If the splitting blade does not move despite activation of the handles or return bracket, immediately turn off the machine. Turn the pole reversing unit in the plug-inmodule (Fig. 11 + 12) to change the rotational direc- tion of the motor.
Never let the motor run in the wrong direction! This will inevitably destroy the pump system and no warranty claim can be made.

Functional test
Test the function before every use.

above the table.
Let one handle loose, then the other.| Splitting knife stops in the desired position.
Press both handles or return bow upwards| Splitting knife returns to upper position

Warning!

• Loosen the filling screw (Fig. 15) before commis-sioning. Never forget to loosen the filling screw! Otherwise, the air in the system will constantly be compressed and decompressed with the re-sult that the seals of the hydraulic
• circuit will be destroyed and the wood splitter can no longer be used. In this case, the seller and the manufactur-er will not be liable to warranty services.
• Switching on and off (14)
• Press the green button for switching on.
• Press the red button for switching off.
• Note: Check the function of the ON/OFF unit before every use by switching on and off once.
• Restarting safety in case of current interruption (no-volt release).
• In case of current failure, inadvertent pulling of the  plug, or a defective fuse, the machine is switched off automatically. For switching on again, press anew  the green button of the switch unit.
• Using the retaining claw (Fig. 12)
• The height of the claw can be set at various stages to suit the length of the wood.
• Splitting (Fig. 13)

If the outside temperature is below 5°C, let the ma- chine run idle for about 5 minutes so the hydraulic system reaches its operating temperature. Place the log under the splitting blade vertically. Caution: The splitting blade is very sharp. Risk of injury!

• Push the retaining claw (13) onto the wood to be split.
• When you push both operating levers (2 +12) down, the splitting blade goes down and splits the wood.
• Only ever split logs that have been sawn off straight.
• Split the log vertically.
• Never split it lying down or diagonally to the grain!
• Wear suitable gloves and safety boots when split-ting wood.
• Split very misshapen logs from the edge.
  Caution: During splitting, some logs can be un-der significant tension and suddenly break.
  Force jammed logs out by applying pressure in the splitting direction or by raising the riving knife. In this case, only push the handles up, do not use the return bracket. Caution: Risk of injury

Operating the log lifter (8)
General information about the log lifter:

• For safety reasons, the log lifter chain may only be hung on the splitting blade with the last link.
• Ensure that nobody else is within the working envi-ronment of the log lifter.

Operating the log lifter:

• Loosen the log lifter restraining hook so the lifting tube can move freely.
• Move the splitting blade so far down that the log lifter lifting tube lies on the ground.
• In this position, you can roll the log to be split onto the lifting tube. (The log has to be between the two fixing tips.)
• Push the return bracket down or the handles up so the splitting blade moves up. (Caution! Do not stand in the working environment of the log lifter!Risk of injury!)
• Then remove the split wood and move the riving knife and therefore the log lifter back down.
• Now you can roll a new log onto the log lifter.

Resetting the log lifter
This is used as a second guard arm when not using the trunk lifter or when automatic return is enabled. For this, the arm is moved up until it locks in position in the hook.
Transport position of the log lifter:
Using your hand, move the log lifter up until it locks in position.
Comply with these notices to ensure quick and safe work.
