5. OPERATION
5.1.
Operating the HYLS4000H.
5.1.1.
This log splitter is equipped with a
control system that requires the
machine to be operated by both
hands of the user- Left hand controls
the hydraulic control lever while
right hand controls the pushbutton
switch. The log splitter will freeze
upon absence of either hand. Only
after both hands release the controls, the log pusher starts to return backward
to the starting position.
5.1.2.
Trigger type lock-out device is adopted to avoid accidental Hydraulic Control
Lever pushdown. To operate the Hydraulic Control Lever, draw the Trigger
backward with the index finger before push the Hydraulic Control Lever
forward.
Never force the log splitter for more than 5 seconds by keeping
pressure on it to split excessively hard wood.
5.1.3.
After this time interval, the oil under pressure will be overheated and the
machine could be damaged. For such extremely hard log, rotate it by 90° to see
whether it can be split in a different direction. In any case, if you are not able to
split the log, this means that its hardness exceeds the capacity of the machine
and the log should be discarded to protect the log splitter.
5.2.
Operating the HYLS7000H.
5.2.1.
This log splitter is equipped with a
control system that requires the
machine to be operated by both
hands of the user- Left hand controls
the hydraulic control lever while
right hand controls the pushbutton
switch. The log splitter will freeze
upon absence of either hand. Only
after both hands release the
controls, the log pusher starts to return backward to the starting position.
5.2.2.
The splitting force and speed are governed by the 2-stage control
lever. Push the lever in the 1st stage about half way for faster speed
at less splitting force to split usual logs; Push the lever in the 2nd
stage all way for maximum splitting force at slower speed to split
particularly hard and seasoned logs. These stages can be shifted by
simply raising and lowering the lever.
