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.
