1.1 About the manual
Please take time to read this manual and learn to how operate and
maintain the splitter safely. For your easier reading this manual is laid
out in several sections. The sections are progressively numbered and
listed on the “content” page. The information, pictures and technical
data in this document reflect current or planned product features,
functions, and characteristics as of the publication date. Because of
on-going product improvements and feature additions, information in
this document is subject to change without notice. If you are experi-
encing a problem or functional trouble on your machine, please read
the “trouble-shooting” section 9 to identify possible causes and re-
medies. If the problem or functional trouble is not listed in the trou-
bleshooting chart contained in this manual, ask your Authorized Ser-
vice Centre for service. When you order parts maintenance or repair
services, your Authorized Service Centre, your dealer or eventually
the manufacturer need your machine serial number and engine serial
number. These are the numbers that you have recorded on the pro-
duct identification label of the manufacturer on the machine.
1.2 Delivery and transport claims

ges such as damaged packing or scratched buckled parts. If so, make
a remark on all copies of the delivery bill before signing for accep-
tance. Also have the truck driver sign all copies of the delivery bill.

Should your shipper or the truck driver refuse to accept your claim,
fully reject delivery and make sure to inform us (the manufacturer)
immediately. No claims shall be taken into account by the shipper or
by the insurance company, if a reservation note is not made on the
delivery bill.
All transport damages must be notified within latest 2 days from de-

term. Later claims shall be disregarded. In case of assumed but not
visually clear transport damages, make sure to mark the following
sentence on the delivery bill: „Reserved delivery due to assumed

Strictly perform installation, set-up, maintenance, cleaning
and transportation with the motor switched off and the machi-
ne firmly secured against accidental operation. Immediately
disconnect power off the machine in case of any eventual fault
or trouble.
Users shall strictly comply with these operation, set-up, maintenance,
repair and trouble-shooting instructions in order to assure safe ope-
ration and no damages to the equipment. Moreover we recommend
to let the machine be run only and strictly by trained and skilled staff
who must be familiar with the applicable occupational safety and
health administration rules as well as applicable transportation rules.
Incorrect use of the saw can cause serious injury or death.
No person under school leaving age should operate a log splitting ma-
chine. Those who have reached school leaving age but are below the
age of 18 may operate a circular saw if supervised by a competent
person of 18 years or over. The machine shall be installed and kept in
a suitable location selected by the customer for safest operation.
Machine instability can result in injury or severe damages. To ensu-
re stability during operation make sure to choose a flat, dry floor free
from any tall grass, brush or other interferences. The working area
around the machine must be kept as clear as possible from surroun-
ding tripping obstacles and slippery foundation floors should be duly
treated (do not use saw dust or wood ash for this purpose).
Make sure that the equipment stands on a safe stable foundation.
● Due and proper illumination of the working site must be provided at all times.
● Ensure that a wide but confined area is available around the machine
and assure maximum working freedom
● A skilled licensed electrician must be asked for any repair of the electric system
● Operators must wear steel toe safety shoes and snug-fitting tear resistant
work cloths
● No additional customised protections or tools should be provided on board of
the machine, other than the ones designed and supplied by the manufacturer
● NEVER leave the machine unattended with the running motor
Compliance to the applicable occupational safety and health administration
rules as well as applicable transportation rules must be assured at all times.
Operator‘s hearing protection, safety glasses, safety shoes and
gloves, close fitting cloths and other adequate protection means are
strongly recommended. Make sure that all access ways are properly
maintained so that wood can be safely delivered, loaded and shipped.
4. SAFETY

4.1 Mandatory application field
The log splitter is strictly designed for one-man operation. Never al-
low more than one person approach and work on the machine at the
same time.
This splitter is conceived for splitting short and long logs for firewood
preparation only. BEWARE: no crossgrain splitting is permitted. Always
split grain-wise and never split one log on top of the other. Make sure
to load your logs firmly on the floor plate against the vertical beam.
Any other use or splitting method is considered by the manufacturer
as “misuse”. In case of misuse the manufacturer will not be liable for
any injuries or damages and the operator will be held entirely
responsible.
Please make sure to comply with these set-up, operation and mainte-
nance/repair instructions in order to avoid happening of any injury or
dangerous condition.
