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 through 16 and listed on
the “content” page. The information, pictures and technical data in this do-
cument reflect current or planned product features, functions, and characte-
ristics as of the publication date. Because of on-going product improvements
and feature additions, information in this document is subject to change wi-
thout notice. If you are experiencing a problem or a functional trouble on
your machine, please read the “trouble-shooting” section to identify possible
causes and remedies. If the problem or functional trouble is not listed in the
troubleshooting chart contained in this manual, ask your Authorized Service
Centre for service. When you have checked all the possible causes listed and
you are still experiencing the problem, ask your Authorized Service Centre
for help. When you order parts maintenance or repair services, your Autho-
rized Service Centre, your dealer or eventually the manufacturer need your
machine serial number and engine serial number. These are the numbers
that you have recorded on the product identification label of the manufactu-
rer on the machine.
1.2 Delivery and transport claims
Upon delivery of the machine please check for visual machine damages
such as damaged packing or scratched buckled parts. If so, make a re-
mark on all copies of the delivery bill before signing for acceptance.
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 and make sure to inform us (the manufacturer)
immediately. No claims shall 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 shall be disregarded. In case of assumed but not
visually clear transport damages make sure to mark the following
sentence 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.

Strictly perform installation, set-up, maintenance, cleaning and
transportation with the motor switched off and the blade firmly
secured against accidental operation.Immediately disconnect
power off the machine in case of any eventual fault or trouble.
The user shall strictly comply with these operation, set-up, mainte-
nance, repair and trouble-shooting instructions in order to assure safe
operation and no damages to the equipment. Moreover we recom-
mend 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 saw can cause serious injury or death.
No person under school leaving age should operate a circular saw. Those
who have reached school leaving age but are below the age of 18 may ope-
rate a circular saw 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 obstac-
les and 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.
• Due and proper illumination of the working site is provided at all times
• A wide but confi ned area is available around the machine to stop
access of unskilled personnel during operation and still assure maxi-
mum working freedom
• A skilled electrician is asked for any repair on the electric system
• All operators wear steel toe safety shoes and snug-fitting tear-re-
sistant work cloths
• No additional customised protections or tools are provided on board of the
machine, other than the ones designed and supplied by the manufacturer
• Never leave the splitter unattended with its motor on
Always assure compliance with safety, protection and accident pre-
vention rules as well as general road andtraffi c rules in the country
of use.
Operators should always wear personal protection cloths including
steel-toed safety shoes, snug-fi tting tear-resistant work cloths, safe-
ty gloves earplugs and safety goggles. Site must be free of slippery
surfaces and tripping obstacles. Make su-re that all access ways are
properly maintained so that wood can be safely delivered, loaded and
shipped.
4. SAFETY
9
4.1 Mandatory application fi eld
Log splitters are one-man operation machines only. Never allow mo-
re than one person approach and work on the machine at the same
time. The model “SM 300” is conceived for splitting logs for firewood
preparation only. BEWARE: no cross-grain splitting is permitted. Al-
ways split grain-wise.
When placing the log on the log splitter make sure that the chunk
rests entirely and safely on the log carriage. Any other use or splitting
method is considered by the manufacturer as “misuse”. In case of mi-
suse the manufacturer will not be liable for any injuries or damages
and the operator will be held entirely responsible.
Please make sure to comply with these set-up, operation and mainte-
nance/repair instructions in order to avoid happening of any injury or
dangerous condition.
Misuse will completely void your warranty. The manufacturer
accepts no liability for personal injuries and damages to other
equipment caused by misusing the machine.

5. OPERATION
Fig. 1
5.1 Splitter set-up
For optimized transport dimensions and more effective handling, the
unit is shipped by the manufacturer with the ram fully retracted over
the log carriage. To set the unit ready for splitting you first need some
minor setup work. Bolt the cylinder flange firmly on the steel casing
(Figure 1).
To do this, simply undo the fixation screws on the casing and pull
them out of their threaded seating. Shift the ram backward to make
the flange reach tightly against the steel casing.
Now, screw the flange of the cylinder using the two hex screws on the
casing.
Whilst tightening the screws make sure that the ram lay perfectly ho-
rizontal. WARNING: a skewed, offset ram will cause the push plate to
apply excessive strain on the piston rod ending up into leaks and even
permanent damage of the cylinder gaskets.
5.2 Electric specifications
Connect the 400V motor using a 25 m long power cable in a minimum
section of 1.5 mm2.
Make sure to connect the neutral return wire of the conductor cord or
the machine won‘t start!
If you are using an AC (230V motor) splitter version, the power cord
section may not exceed 2,5mm² (standard power cord denomination: 3
x 2.5). Power-up is performed by means of a switch/plug combination.
In case of splitters powered by a 400V motor, first check that the mo-
tor rotates in the direction shown by the arrow on the housing. To do
this, quickly switch the motor on and off. Should rotation be perfor-
med 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 polarity 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!
5.3 Hydraulic specifications
The splitter has an independent hydraulic plant with tank and pump.
The hydraulic tank is located in the floor stand of the machine and is
always supplied by the manufacturer with a first hydraulic oil fill.
