k) Don’t force the tool. It is already designed to operate at its maximum
speed and tonnage. If you experienced problems splitting especially
hard wood, do not continue to push on the control handle for
more than 3 seconds. Release the control handle at once to avoid
damage. If the motor stops, turn off the motor and then turn it back
on again to continue operation.
l) If the log is clipped or jammed on the wedge, release the control
handle and unplug the power cable immediately. Gently knock off
the log with a hammer or mallet (not with your hands).
m) Never attempt to split more than one log at a time unless the ram
has fully extended and a second log is needed to complete the
separation of the first log. Never attempt to split one log on top of
another.
n) Regularly clear the split wood to keep the work area clear of debris.
o) Periodically check that all nuts, bolts, screws, hydraulic fittings and
hose clamps are tightened.
p) Never operate your splitter on wet, muddy or icy surfaces. Safe
footing is essential in preventing accidents.
q) Never leave the machine unattended while the motor is running.
r) Never use this machine in a damp or rainy environment.
s) Only operate the log splitter when there is sufficient lighting.
t) Never tamper with the motor to run it at excessive speeds. The
maximum motor speed is preset by the manufacturer and is within
safety limits.
u) Switch off and unplug the power cable if the machine malfunctions.
For example: if the machine makes loud noises and the ram is
running erratically, there is a strong possibility that there is excessive
air in the hydraulic lines or there is a shortage of hydraulic oil in the
tank (refer to the Troubleshooting section for the solution).
v) Do not pull on the power supply cable to unplug the machine.
