Page: 14 / 20

This log splitter is equipped with reinforced
splitting wedge whose blade is specially
treated, After long periods of operation, and
when required, sharpen the wedge with a fine-
toothed file removing any burrs or flat spots
on the edge.
The hydraulic system is a closed system with
oil tank, oil pump and control valve. Check oil
level regularly with dipstick. Low oil levels can
damage the oil pump. Oil Level should
measure approx. 1 ~ 2 cm lower than the
upper surface of the oil tank.
The oil should be completely changed once
a year.

Stack as you work. This will provide a safer
work area, keeping it uncluttered, and avoid
the danger of tripping, or damaging the
power cord.
Accumulated split wood and
wood chips can create a
h a z a r d o u s w o r k
environment. Never continue
to work in a cluttered work
area which may cause you
to slip, trip or fall.
Place log onto splitter. Place the log onto
the support table vertically and sitting flat on
the support table. Be sure the wedge and
support table will contact the log squarely
on the ends. Never attempt to split a log at
an angle.
Break log in the direction of its
growing grain. Do not place log
across the log splitter for
splitting. It may be dangerous
and may seriously damage the
machine.
Adjust the Log Holders (A) according to the
diameter of the log to obtain most
comfortable Control Levers angle.
Hold the log with clamping brackets closely
in the control lever guards. Lower levers to
start the splitting. Releasing either lever
stops the motion of the splitting wedge.
Release both handles to return the splitting
wedge to the upper position.
