4. Opsætning og montering
Before operating your log splitter, ensure it is correctly assembled and positioned.
- Udpakning: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Check against the packing list for completeness. Included components are: Log Splitter, Fixing Device, Transport Wheels, Retaining Stirrup.
- Attaching Transport Wheels: Mount the transport wheels to the base of the log splitter as per the diagram in your detailed assembly guide. These wheels facilitate moving the heavy unit.
- Placering: Place the log splitter on a stable, level, and solid surface. Ensure there is ample clear space around the machine for safe operation and log handling.
- Elektrisk tilslutning: Connect the 400V power cable to a suitable power outlet. Ensure the circuit is protected by a residual current device (RCD).
- Adjusting Work Table: The work table can be adjusted to different heights. Select the appropriate height for the length of logs you intend to split.

5. Betjeningsvejledning
Følg altid sikkerhedsforskrifterne før og under drift.
- Forberedelse af log: Ensure logs are cut to appropriate lengths (max 1070 mm) and diameters (max 350 mm). Avoid logs with branches or knots that could cause uneven splitting.
- Placering af træstammen: Place the log vertically on the work table, ensuring it is stable and centered under the splitting wedge. Use the log retaining arms to secure it.
- Tohåndsbetjening: To initiate the splitting process, simultaneously engage both control levers. This safety feature prevents hands from being near the splitting wedge during operation.
- Opdeling: The wedge will descend, splitting the log. Once split, release the control levers to retract the wedge.
- Collecting Split Wood: The integrated collection bows on both sides help gather the split wood, making it easier to manage.
- Omplacering: For larger logs that do not split completely on the first pass, reposition them and repeat the splitting process.

6. Vedligeholdelse
Regelmæssig vedligeholdelse sikrer din brændekløvers lange levetid og sikre drift.
- Rensning: After each use, clean the machine of wood chips, sawdust, and debris. Use a brush or compressed air. Do not use water directly on electrical components.
- Smøring: Periodically lubricate moving parts, especially the splitting wedge and guide rails, with appropriate grease or oil.
- Hydraulikvæske: Check the hydraulic fluid level regularly. Refer to the detailed service manual for instructions on checking and refilling hydraulic fluid. Use only recommended hydraulic fluid types.
- Inspektioner:
- Kontroller, at alle bolte og møtrikker er stramme.
- Undersøg strømkablet for tegn på skader eller slid.
- Examine the splitting wedge for dullness or damage. Sharpen or replace if necessary.
- Ensure the log retaining arms move freely and are not bent or damaged.
- Opbevaring: When not in use, store the log splitter in a dry, secure location, preferably in its compact storage position (990 mm height).
