• Llegeix el manual: Thoroughly read and understand all instructions before operating the machine.
• Equips de protecció individual (EPI): Always wear safety glasses, hearing protection, sturdy gloves, and steel-toed boots. Avoid loose clothing that could get caught in moving parts.
• Two-Hand Operation: The log splitter is designed for two-hand operation. Both hands must be on the controls for the splitting wedge to move. Never bypass this safety feature.
• Àrea de treball: Operate the log splitter on a firm, level surface. Keep the work area clear of bystanders, children, and pets. Ensure adequate lighting.
• Col·locació del registre: Only split one log at a time. Ensure the log is placed securely on the splitting table and against the end plate.
• Log Size: Do not attempt to split logs exceeding the specified maximum length (520mm) or diameter (250mm).
• Seguretat elèctrica: Ensure the power supply matches the machine's requirements (230V). Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) when operating outdoors. Do not operate in wet conditions.
• Manteniment: Desconnecteu l'alimentació abans de realitzar qualsevol manteniment, neteja o ajust.

1. Prepare Logs: Ensure logs are cut to appropriate lengths (max 520mm) and within the diameter limits (55-250mm). Remove any branches or knots that could interfere with splitting.
2. Position Log: Place one log horizontally on the splitting table, ensuring it rests firmly against the end plate and is centered under the splitting wedge.
3. Engage Controls: Simultaneously press and hold both control levers/buttons. The splitting wedge will advance and split the log.
4. Release Controls: Once the log is split, release both control levers/buttons. The splitting wedge will automatically retract to its starting position.
5. Remove Split Wood: Carefully remove the split wood from the splitting table. Be mindful of sharp edges and potential splinters.
6. Adjustable Splitting Stroke: The HL760L features a continuously adjustable splitting stroke. This allows you to set the return point of the wedge, optimizing efficiency for shorter logs. Adjust as needed for different log lengths.

Tips for Efficient Splitting:

• Split fresh wood whenever possible, as it is generally easier to split than seasoned wood.
• For difficult logs, rotate them 90 degrees and try splitting again.
• Avoid splitting logs with large knots or embedded foreign objects, as this can damage the machine.

5. Manteniment

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your log splitter. Always disconnect the power supply before performing any maintenance.

• Neteja: After each use, clean the log splitter, especially the splitting wedge and table, to remove wood chips, sap, and debris. Use a stiff brush or compressed air.
• Oli hidràulic: Check the hydraulic oil level regularly (e.g., every 50 hours of operation or annually). Replace the hydraulic oil according to the manufacturer's recommendations (typically every 300 hours or 2 years).
• Lubricació: Lubricate all moving parts, such as the wedge slide rails, with appropriate grease or oil to ensure smooth operation and prevent wear.
• Inspeccions: Periodically inspect all bolts, nuts, and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Check the power cord for any damage. Inspect the splitting wedge for sharpness and damage.
• Emmagatzematge: Store the log splitter in a dry, protected area when not in use. Cover it to protect from dust and moisture.
