Electric connections
Connect the main lead to a standard electric outlet, which
equals the specification listed on the type tag/name plate.

CONNECTION
Interference with the electric system, can be dangerous,
always contact a qualified electrician.
Extension leads
If an extension cable is to be used, always make sure water
proof cables are used and that the connector is kept well
clear of any water.
Since the cable will produce a voltage drop, that will prevent
the engine from supplying full power and reduce the
machine's function, it is essential that the conductors in the
cable conform the following specifications.
0-10 meters - diameter of conductor - 1,5 mm
Log splitters with 230 and 400 volts requires a minimum of
16 amperes
If any doubts please consult a qualified electrician. Do not
attempt any electrical repairs yourself.

piece of wood is approximately 5-10 cm above the base
plate and release the control handles
Take a heavy tool with a handle, e.g. a large hammer or
ax (the back of the head) or just a larger piece of wood
and hit it on the wood that is pinched around the wedge.

loosen a pinched piece of wood. Other people
must not help as it can result in dangerous
