SPLITTING A LOG
This log splitter is designed to be operated by one person only
and requires
two handed operation by the user -
1. Place the log onto the support table vertically making sure that it is sitting
flat on the support table.
• Ensure the wedge will come into contact with the log squarely on
the end. Never attempt to split a log at an angle.
2. Grip the log securely using the control arms.
3. Press down on both levers to start
the splitting action.
• Releasing either lever stops the
splitting wedge.
• Releasing both levers will return
the splitting wedge to its original
position.
NOTE:
Once you start splitting the
log, do not reach into the
machine.
4. Stack split logs as you work. This will provide a safer work area, by keeping it
uncluttered.
CAUTION: SPLIT LOGS IN THE DIRECTION OF THE GRAIN. DO NOT PLACE
LOGS ACROSS THE LOG SPLITTER FOR SPLITTING. IT MAY BE DANGEROUS
AND MAY SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE MACHINE.
WARNING: NEVER TRY TO SPLIT WOOD FOR MORE THAN 5 SECONDS, IF
THE MACHINE CANNOT DO IT WITHIN THIS TIME, THE OIL WILL BEGIN TO
OVERHEAT AND THE MACHINE MAY BE DAMAGED.
