Working behaviour and working technique

6.1 Splitting a log (08, 12)
WARNING!
Danger of injury outside
of the operating area
If you are outside of the
operating area when
splitting wood, there is a
danger of serious injuries.
■
When splitting logs,
remain in the operating
area of the log splitter
only.
■
Do not reach into the
piece of wood that is
being split.
CAUTION!
Risk of injury due to
untidy workplace
Untidiness and logs lying
around pose a risk of
tripping and slipping in the
working area.
■
Store the logs to be split
in a tidy pile.
■
Immediately remove
split logs and wood
chips from the working
area.
1. Place the log longitudinally onto the log
splitter in such a way that the log is held by
the log guide pipes.
Note: Only place straight logs with a
perpendicular and straight cutting surface on
the log splitter (12).
2. With one hand, press and hold the ON button
(08/1) of the electric motor.

3. When the motor has reached its operating
speed, press control lever (08/2) completely
down with your other hand.
■
The log pusher pushes the log against
the splitting wedge. The log is split.
4. When the ON button and control lever are
released, the log pusher moves back into its
starting position.
6.2 Removing a jammed log (09)
CAUTION!
Risk of injury from a
jammed log flying out
If a jammed log flies out of
the appliance, injuries can
be caused and the
appliance may be
damaged.
■
Never try to free a
jammed log using tools.
1. Take both hands away from the ON button
and control lever.
2. Allow the log pusher to come to a complete
standstill.
3. Push a wooden wedge (09/1) under the
jammed log.
4. Drive the wooden wedge completely under
the jammed log using the log pusher.
5. If necessary, repeat with a larger wooden
wedge until the log is freed.
7 WORKING BEHAVIOUR AND
WORKING TECHNIQUE
■
Always split only well-dried logs. These can
be split far easier than fresh, moist wood.
■
Very thick logs can be split more easily if they
are not too long.
