Operation Manual

GB
Use only on a power connection equipped with a faulty current switch (FI). In cold weather, have the
machine warmed up at idling until the oil gets warmed up (or, have several idling runs).
Motor overloading or electric installation different from the purpose will result in protective fuse blow up or a
response of the faulty current protection switch FI: that being the case, a qualified electrician should be
called.
Stock Size
The stock diameter is shown as an example. It may be difficult to
cleave/split a small stock, if it is knaggy. Notice: If a stock is not to be
chopped up immediately, it is important that the cleaving pressure is
not applied for too long. That would cause fast overheating of the oil
under pressure and consequent damages to the pump.
Operator Safety Instructions
• Do not use the machine until you have read the instruction manual carefully.
• Observe any safety instructions included In the manual.
• Be responsible to the others
• The wood should be split along the grain only.
• There is a risk of jamming the knaggy material while being split. Remember that the wood is under
considerable pressure when being taken out and may nip your finger in the gap.
• Check to see that all iron parts that are hopping and could damage the machine while the job is being
done have been removed from the piece to be worked. The ends of the stems have to be cut square.
Any knags have to be cut off completely. .
• Never cleave the stocks, the size of which is beyond the limits determined, it could cause injuries and
damage to the machine.
• The wood should be cleaved along the grain. Never put a stock across the machine and never work it in
such a position; it could cause injuries and damage to the machine.
• In no case cleave two stocks at a time. One of them could rebound and hit the operator!
• If the stock slides down of the knife, pull the stock thrust device back and turn the stock by 180°.
• Do not operate the wood cleaving machine at full for more than 10 - 15 seconds, e.g. holding the
cylinder pressed down or cleaving hard material. That would result in fast overheating the oil and
causing damage to the machine subsequently. It is recommended to turn the stock by 180° and to try to
work it in the position. If it is not possible to split up the stock, discard it, to avoid damage to the
machine.
• Given unfavorable conditions in the power supply the equipment may cause the voltage to drop
temporarily.
• If the supply impedance “Z” at the connection point to the public power supply exceeds 0,233 Ω
EN
61000-3-11
it may be necessary to take further measures before the equipment can be used as intended
from this power supply.
• If necessary, you can ask your local electricity supply company for the impedance value.
Step-by-Step Instructions
• Connect the motor wood-cleaving machine to the power.
• Connecting the power cable, mind that it is not let via a telescopic bearer or close to the cleaving knife.
Also, avoid any places where a risk of damage or disruption exists.
• Place the stock on the bearer. The guides will assist you in keeping the stock at the centre of the knife. If
the stock does not fit tightly, it should be turned.
• Push the motor control button with your LH (Fig. 1/F) to the stop and control the steering lever (Fig. 1/C)
with your RH at the same time.
• The sliding desk (FIG. 1/B) will go forward, pushing the stock through the knife.
The switch contact could be destroyed if the button is not pushed to the stop.
Notice: Always push the switching button completely!
