e.g. 230 V with the mains voltage and connect the
machine to the relevant and properly earthed plug.
 Only use connection cables with sufficient cross-
sections.
 Connect the machine via a 30 mA fault current safety
switch.

Make sure that the motor turns in the correct direction
(see motor arrow), because operation in the wrong
direction damages the oil pump.

to the highest position.
¾ If the splitting blade is already in its highest position: grip
both operating handles and push them down. The
splitting blade moves downwards.
¾ If the splitting blade does not move after the motor has
started, switch off the motor and change the direction of
rotation.
You can change
the direction by
placing a screw-
driver in the slot
provided in the
plug collar, and
adjust the correct
direction by
moving to the left
or right applying
slight pressure.
L Hydraulics
 Never operate the machine in the event of any possible
danger from hydraulic fluid.
 Ensure that the machine and working area are clean and
free of oil.
Danger of slippage or fire!
 Check the hydraulic reservoir regularly to ensure that it
contains enough hydraulic oil (see “Care and
maintenance”).
