User manual ATIKA ASP 8-1050 BROCHURE

[. . . ] Wear safety shoes when working with the machine to protect the feet from falling logs. Wear safety gloves when working with the machine to protect the hands from chips and splinters. Wear safety goggles when working with the machine to protect the eyes from chips and splinters. Not observing this instruction can lead to injuries or cause damage to property. [. . . ] When working outdoors, only use extension cables especially approved and appropriately labelled for outdoor use. The electrical connection or repairs to electrical parts of the machine must be carried out by a certified electrician or one of our customer service points. Local regulations ­ especially regarding protective measures ­ must be observed. Repairs to other parts of the machine must be carried out by the manufacturer or one of his customer service points. Use only original spare parts, accessories and special accessory parts. Accidents can arise for the user through the use of other spare parts. The manufacturer is not liable for any damage or injury resulting from such action. To transport the machine, grasp the strap on the splitting column with one hand and tilt the log splitter slightly towards you. Ensure that the working area meets the following conditions: - no danger of slipping - level - free of obstacles - sufficiently well lit Do not operate the machine in the direct vicinity of gas or petrol pipes or containers, or any other easily inflammable materials. Move the splitting blade right down every time before the machine is transported. Before using the log splitter, make sure each time that - there are no faulty connections (tears, cuts, etc. ) - there are no damage at the machine - all screws are tight - check the hydraulic system for any possible leaks - the oil level 18 Venting: Vent the hydraulic system before putting the log splitter into operation. Unscrew venting cap (7) by several turns so that air may escape from the oil tank. Close the venting cap before moving the log splitter, as otherwise oil will leak at this point. Lock in case of power (zero-voltage initiator) The equipment will switch off automatically if there is a power cut. Make sure that the motor turns in the correct direction (see arrow on the motor), because operation in the wrong direction damages the oil pump. checking the direction of rotation: Switch on motor; the splitting blade automatically moves to the highest position. If the splitting blade is already in its highest position: grip both operating handles and push them down. If the splitting blade does not move after the motor has started, switch off the motor and change the direction of rotation. You can change the direction by placing a screwdriver in the slot provided in the plug collar, and adjust the correct direction by moving to the left or right applying slight pressure. 400 V 3~ 10 A inert Never operate the machine in the event of any possible danger from hydraulic fluid. Check the hydraulic reservoir regularly to ensure that it contains enough hydraulic oil (see "Care and maintenance") Capacity: 6.
