Cleaning; Transport; Storage; Maintenance - Scheppach HL1020 Mode D'emploi

When connecting to the mains or relocating the ma-
chine, check the direction of rotation (swap polarity in
the wall socket if necessary). Turn pole inverter in the
machine socket.

12. Cleaning

Attention!
Pull out the power plug before carrying out any clean-
ing work on the equipment.
We recommend that you clean the equipment imme-
diately after you use it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a damp cloth and
some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or sol-
vents; these may be aggressive to the plastic parts in
the equipment. Ensure that no water can get into the
interior of the equipment.

13. Transport

Before transporting the kindling splitter, ensure it is
in the transport position. To do this, lower the riving
knife until it rests on the metal support. Next, remove
both shafts and allow the cylinder to move down-
wards finally. You can set the splitter onto a palette
with the help of a crane, but never lift the splitter by
the splitting blade. The top part of the splitter features
an eyelet, where the crane hook may be engaged.

14. Storage

Store the device and its accessories in a dark, dry
and frost-proof place that is inaccessible to children.
The optimum storage temperature is between 5 and
30˚C.
Cover the electrical tool in order to protect it from
dust and moisture.
Store the operating manual with the electrical tool.

15. Maintenance

Attention!
Pull out the power plug before carrying out any main-
tenance work on the equipment. Make sure that the
drive shaft is not connected to the traction unit.
When must the oil be changed?
First oil change after 50 operating hours, then every
250 operating hours.
Oil change
Position the kindling splitter on a slightly raised sur-
face (e.g. euro pallet). Place a sufficiently large con-
tainer (at least 15 litres) under the drain plug on the
splitting column. Open the drain plug and carefully let
the oil run into the container.

Open the filling screw on the top of the splitting col-
umn so the oil can drain more easily. Replace the
drain plug and its seal and tighten it.
Top up with new hydraulic oil. (Content: see technical
data) and check the oil level with the sight glasses
(13 + 13a).
After changing the oil, operate the kindling splitter a
few times without actually splitting.
Warning! Ensure that no debris gets into the oil
container.
Dispose of the used oil in a correct manner at a
public collection facility. It is prohibited to drop
old oil on the ground or to mix it with waste.
We recommend oil from the HLP 32 range.

The hydraulic unit is a closed system with oil tank, oil
pump and control valve.
The system is complete when the machine is deliv-
ered, and may not be changed or manipulated.
Connections and repairs
Connections and repairs of electrical equipment may
only be carried out by an electrician.
