Operating levers

The operating levers (6 or A/B) have three positions.

Feed position: Press both operating levers to the left or down (depending on the column position) to drive the splitting wedge into the piece of wood. Note: Both operating levers must be pressed simultaneously; as soon as one lever is released, the splitting wedge stops.

Neutral position: Release one or both operating levers to stop the movement of the splitting wedge.

Reverse position: Press both operating levers to the right or up (depending on the column position) to move the splitting wedge backwards.

Note: Both operating levers must be pressed simultaneously; as soon as one lever is released, the splitting wedge stops.

Column locks

As the name suggests, these two locks are used to lock the splitting column horizontally or vertically. The vertical column lock is situated next to the oil filter, the horizontal column lock on the support of the column holder.

Engine controls

The positions and functions of the controls for the engine can be found in the enclosed engine manual.
