Application

These Operating Instructions apply to

the following machines:

Correct application

The log splitter is only suited for

splitting logs up to a maximum length

of 55 cm.

Min. log diameter: 8 cm

Max. log diameter: 40 cm

Min. log length: 10 cm

Max. log length: 10 cm

Description

The log splitter is a wood splitting

machine with a maximum log splitting

length of 55 cm. The stroke of the

riving knife is variable for shorter logs.

The splitting tool is hydraulically driven.

The hydraulic system is driven by an

electric motor or a petrol engine.

The machine is operated by a two-hand

control lever safety element.

Upon simultaneously pulling the control

levers of the safety switch, the pressure

plate moves out.

Upon releasing the control levers, the

pressure plate stops.

By pressing the control levers forward

for an instant, the pressure plate moves

back into its base position.

The log is positioned in the trough.

During the splitting operation, the

pressure plate presses the log against

the splitting knife, causing the log to

be split.

General safety regulations

The machine may only be operated

by personnel understanding the

function, dangers and operating instruc-

tions.

Only operate machine if securely

installed.

Minimum operator age: 18.

Always wear protective shoes and

tight clothing.

Never use faulty supply linesn.

Ensure that working area is suf-

ficiently illuminated, as insufficient illu-

mination increases the danger of injury

considerably!

Machines with electrical drive must

not be operated in rainy weather as

this could lead to a defect of the switch

or the electrical motor!

Only operate machine with one ope-

rator!

Do not hold log whilst splitting.

Keep operating area free from wood

chips and remnants.

Never split logs that have been cut

diagonally!

Never leave running machine unat-

tended.

Switch off drive before removing

stuck logs.

The minimum log length is 10 cm,

the maximum log length is 55 cm.

Never work without guards.

Switch off drive before changing

machine.

Always completely retract riving knife

for transportation and when machine

is stopped.

Only use original “Mr. Paldu“ spare

parts.

All electrical work must be carried

out by qualified electricians.

Never operate petrol engine machi-

nes in enclosed areas as carbon monoxide

could build up!

Noise information

The operational noise level is 70 db(A).

For petrol engine machines a noise

level of 90 dB(A) can be expected near

the operator's ears. We therefore

strongly recommend the use of ear

protection.

Page 7

Operating the log splitter

Set-up

Position machine on level and firm

ground. Position board under feet if

ground is too soft.

Caution! Only operate machine if set

up securely!

Start-up

Note: In temperatures below 0°C, leave

machine to idle for approx. 5 minutes

without operating the control lever until

the hydraulic system has reached its

operating temperature.

230 V motor models

Connect machine to power supply.

• Supply voltage 230 V (50 Hz)

• Use 16 A fuse)

• The supply cable must have a

minimum diameter of 2.5 mm2.

400 V motor models

Connect machine to power supply.

• Supply voltage 400 V (50 Hz)

Caution! The mains supply must not

fall below 340 V in order to avoid

damages to the switch.

• Use 16 A fuse)

• The supply cable must have a

minimum diameter of 2.5 mm2.

Observe the direction of rotation of

the electrical motor (see arrow on

motor).

In case of wrong rotation direction:

• The switch plug contains a phase

reverser for changing the rotation

direction of the motor (push down

plate in plug with screwdriver and

turn by 180°).

Fig. 3 - Phase reverser

Caution! If the plugging connections

are too tight the CEE-plug can be torn

out of the switch case.

Page 8

Operating the log splitter

• Remedial measures are the use

of trade mark plugs and the use of

a silicone spray.

Note: We cannot grant any warranty

replacements for such damages at the

switch resulting of above.

Check direction of rotation:

Switch motor on and off and observe

rotation direction before motor stops.

Caution! An incorrect rotation direction

may cause pump breakage!

Petrol engine drive models

Note: Check oil level before starting

motor.

Start-up of petrol engine, see Engine

Operating Instructions.

Fuel consumption: 0.62 liters per

hour

Fuel type: unleaded petrol

Note: For further information see

engine operating instructions.

Operation of two-hand

control

Fig. 4 - Two-hand control lever

Position “0”

Control lever base position - no

movement of splitting tool.

Position “I”

Both control levers pulled

simultaneously. As long as the control

levers are maintained in this position,

the splitting tool moves out.

Position “II”

In this position the pressure plate

moves at top speed and with reduced

splitting power.

Position “III”

By pushing both control levers forward

for an instant, the splitting tool returns

to its base position and then switches

back to the “0“ position.

Operating the log splitter

Splitting operation

1. Position the log into the log

trough.

2. Operate the control levers.

• The pressure plate moves out,

pressing the log against the splitting

knife.

Splitting directions

Position branchy logs with branches

facing upwards before splitting.

The logs must be pressed longitudi-

nally against the splitting knife.

Splitting of difficult logs (knots, bran-

ches):

• Split logs from edge.

Caution! The machine is designed for

one-man-operation only! During splitting

and the return stroke of the pressure

plate, the log may not be held by other

operators as this may lead to grave

injuries.

Caution! In case of danger, push the

red OFF button on the machine imme-

diately.

Adjustment of splitting

movement (stroke)

Fig. 5 - Adjustment of Splitting Movement (stroke)

The machine out of the factory is

adjusted for the maximum ram stroke.

The stroke of the ram can be steplessly

adjusted up to 54 cm.

1. Lifting of the pressure plate.

2. Turning off the machine.

3. Loosen the locking screw. Subse-

quently, slide the locking unit into

the desired position and tighten by

hand.

Check oil level. The oil level must be

in between the marking and the end

of the dip stick. If no oil is visible on

the dip stick fill with hydraulic oil

immediately.

before servicing.

Never leave running machine unat-

tendedn.

Only use original “Mr. Paldu“ spare

parts.

Never work without guards.

Work on electrical equipment must

Pressure plate guide

The pressure plate guide must be

greased at all times (apply grease with

brush).

Oil change

Caution! Dispose of used oil in accor-

dance with environmental regulations.

Check legal environmental regulations.

Note: Before changing oil, retract pres-

sure plate.

The first oil change should be carried

out after 50 operating hours and

further oil changes should also be

carried out every 50 operating hours

or at least once yearly.

• The oil drain plug is located at

the bottom of the oil tank.

Servicing

Oil filter

The oil filter should be checked and

cleaned during every oil change

(aluminium shavings possibly detected

during the first inspection are of no

concern and stem from the running-in

of the pump).

The filter can be cleaned with petrol

or paraffin. Compressed air should also

be blown from the inside of the

cartridge, blowing out any remaining

dirt particles.

The frequency of the filter cleaning

depends on the operating conditions.

In case of heavy soiling, i.e. rusting

stemming from extreme condensation,

the filter should be cleaned more

regular.

Cleaning

Clean the machinery at regular intervals

to guarantee best operation.

Wash the new machine (first 3 months)

only with a sponge!

• The varnish is not completely har-

dened at that time therefore it is

possible that varnish damages can

happen when using a high-pressure

cleaner.

Additional equipment

Splitting cross

The logs are split into 4 parts in

one splitting stroke.

Fig. 7 - Splitting cross

Mounting:

• The criss-cross wedge is moved

over the riving knife.

Log support

The log support prevents the log

from falling to the ground after it has

been split.

Fig. 8 - Log support

Mounting:

• Hang the log support onto the

frame.

Note: When the log support is not

required, it can be hung at the same

position 90° downwards.
