 Splitting short wood:
1. Upper position of table plate.
2. Place the log on the splitter’s table plate.
3. Hold the log tight with the clamping claws.

1. Middle position
of table or low
position of base.
2. Remove the
splitting cross.
3. Place the log on
the splitter’s
table or base.
L Possible malfunction when cleaving logs: The log to be
cleaved is not cleaved right through, jams on the cleaving blade
and is pulled up during the blade’s return movement.
In this case, proceed as follows:
1. Switch off the device.
2. Depending on the log still to be cleaved fix the table plate in
the upper or the table in the middle position.
3. Switch on the device and continue the splitting operation.
Never try to split two logs at once.
Never try to remove or replace the log during the
splitting process.
L Never try to force the splitting of the log by maintaining the
pressure for several seconds. This can lead to damage to the
machine.
Position the log on the table again and repeat the splitting phase,
or put the log on one side.
How to release a jammed log?
