Scheppach Ox 7-1000E ZW 16070903 Operating Instructions

To set up the Scheppach Ox 7-1000E, first, ensure the log splitter is on a stable, flat surface. Attach the wheels if they are not pre-installed for easy movement. Check the hydraulic oil level and fill if necessary. Connect to a power supply, ensuring the voltage matches the log splitter's requirements.
Always wear safety goggles and gloves. Ensure no loose clothing or jewelry is worn. Keep bystanders, especially children, at a safe distance. Operate the log splitter only in well-lit conditions and never attempt to split logs that are not properly positioned.
Check if the power cord is properly connected and inspect for any damage. Ensure the power switch is in the 'on' position. Verify that the circuit breaker has not tripped. If the problem persists, consult the user manual or contact customer support.
Regularly check and maintain the hydraulic oil level. Inspect the wedge for sharpness and wear, sharpening or replacing as needed. Keep the machine clean from debris and ensure all bolts and nuts are tight. Lubricate moving parts periodically.
Ensure the log splitter is turned off and unplugged. Secure the wedge in the down position if possible. Use the built-in wheels for short distances, and for longer distances, use a trailer or truck, securing the splitter with straps to prevent movement.
Turn off the machine immediately. Use a wooden or plastic tool to carefully dislodge the log, avoiding metal tools that could damage the wedge. Once the log is free, reposition it properly before attempting to split again.
Ensure the hydraulic system is properly pressurized. Check for any hydraulic fluid leaks and refill if necessary. Refer to the manual for instructions on adjusting the pressure relief valve to increase splitting force if needed.
The Scheppach Ox 7-1000E can handle logs up to 1000mm in length and 400mm in diameter. Attempting to split larger logs can cause damage to the machine and should be avoided.
The log splitter is designed specifically for splitting wood. Using it on other materials can damage the machine and is not recommended. Always use the machine for its intended purpose.
Store the log splitter in a dry, sheltered place to protect it from the elements. Ensure it is clean and dry before storage. Cover the machine with a tarp or protective cover to prevent dust accumulation.
