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 1 th-
rough 16 and listed on the “contents” page. The information, pictures
and technical data in this document reflect current or planned product
features, functions, and characteristics as of the publication date. Be-
cause of on-going product improvements and feature additions, infor-
mation in this document is subject to change without notice.
If you are experiencing a problem or functional trouble on your machi-
ne, please read the “trouble-shooting” section to identify possible cau-
ses and remedies. If the problem or functional trouble is not listed in
the troubleshooting chart contained in this manual,ask our dealer or
our Authorized Service Centre for service.
When you order parts maintenance or repair services, your Authori-
zed Service Centre, your dealer or eventually the manufacturer need
your machine serial number.. These are the numbers that you have
recorded on the product identification label of the manufacturer on the
machine.
1.2 Delivery and transport claims
Upon receiving the splitter at your place, please check for visual ma-
chine damages such as damaged packing or scratched buckled parts.
If so, make a remark on all copies of the delivery bill (including yours)
before signing for acceptance.
4
Also have the truck driver sign al copies of the delivery bill.
Should your shipper or the truck driver refuse to accept your claim,
fully reject delivery of the machine and make sure to inform us (the
manufacturer) immediately. No claims will 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-
livery. Therefore delivery must be collected and inspected within this
term. Later claims will be disregarded. In case of assumed but not vi-
sually clear transport damages make sure to mark the following sen-
tence on the delivery bill: „Reserved delivery due to assumed
transportation damages.“.
Insurance and shipping companies act with extreme caution in case
of transport damages and sometimes refuse to accept responsibility.
Please make sure to provide clear and exhaustive evidence (photos)
of the claimed damages.
Thank you in advance for your help and attention to this matter.
Wir danken für Ihre Mitarbeit.

Strictly perform installation, set-up, maintenance, cleaning
and transportation with the motor switched off and all moving
parts firmly secured against accidental operation.
The user shall strictly comply with these operation, set-up, mainte-
nance, repair and trouble-shooting instructions in order to assure
safe operation and avoid damages to the equipment. The owner must
understand these instructions and must allow only persons who un-
derstand these instructions and are familiar with the related risks to
operate the splitter. 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 splitter
can cause serious injury or death.
No person under school leaving age (18) should operate this log split-
ter. Those who have reached school leaving age but are below the age
of 16 may operate a log splitter 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.
The working area around the machine must be kept as clear as pos-
sible from surrounding obstacles. 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. Al-
so make sure to comply with the following provisions.
• 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 without prior power disconnection.
Operator‘s hearing protection, safety glasses, safety shoes and
gloves, close fitting cloths and other adequate protection means are
strongly recommended.
4. SAFETY RULES
9
Make sure that all access ways are properly maintained so that wood
can be safely delivered, loaded and shipped.
4.1 Mandatory application field
Log splitters are one-man operation machines. No second operator or
bystanders are allowed on the machine while working.
The machine is strictly designed to split firewood along the wood fibres.
When splitting your logs, be sure that the log is safely laid down in
the special wood carriage by means of the special timber lift.
The manufacturer will consider any other use or application as “misu-
se”, in which case the manufacturer will not be responsible for custo-
mers’ claims or resulting damages.
The user shall strictly comply with these operation, set-up, mainte-
nance, repair and trouble-shooting instructions in order to assure safe
operation and avoid damages to the equipment.
Lack of compliance with these instructions may lead to dange-
rous risks and situations and will void all warranty claims, in
which case the manufacturer will not be responsible for custo-
mers’ claims or resulting damages and/or injuries.

5. USE
Fig. 1 Phase changer
5.1 Electrical specifications (SP 20 HEH/2 and SP 20 HZEH/2)
Connect the 400V motor using a 25 m long power cable in a mini-
mum section of 1.5 mm2.
Make sure to connect the neutral return wire of the conductor cord
or the machine won‘t start!
A switch-plug combination outlet provides power supply to the machine.
Before first use, check that the motor rotates in the direction shown
by the arrow on the housing. To do this, quickly switch the motor on
and off. Should rotation be performed in the opposite direction than
shown by the arrow-label on the motor fan, immediately stop the
motor and use a phase inverter (Fig. 1) to change the plugging po-
larity of the conductor cable.
Operating the splitter while the motor turns in the wrong di-
rection may cause major, even permanent damages of the
hydraulic pump!
5.2 Hydraulic specifications
This professional horizontal log splitter has own inbuilt hydraulic sys-
tem with pump and and oil reservoire purposely located at the base
of the main frame. The machine comes from the factory with a first
oil fill. For changing oil in the tank please go to page 14.
Hydraulic oil in the lines may become quite viscous at very
low ambient temperature. In this case, sudden start-up may
damage the hydraulic system of your machine.
In order to protect the system, rather let the splittet run idle (with
no load and no operation) for approximately 15 minutes till the oil in
the lines warms up.
The splitter is hydraulically controlled by means a control valve who-
se fine default-settings are performed by the manufacturer before
delivery. Do not alter these settings, unless prior agreement with
the manufacturer.
