KEEP BYSTANDERS AND CHILDREN AWAY
The log splitter must be always operated by one
person only. Other people should keep a safe
distance from the work area, especially when
the log splitter is in operation. Only one person
at a time should try to free jammed logs.
INSPECT YOUR LOG
Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in logs to be split.
The ends of the logs must be cut square.
DON’T OVERREACH
Floor must not be slippery. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. Never stand on log splitter. Serious injury could occur if the
tool is unintentionally contacted. Do not store anything above or
near the log splitter where anyone might stand on it for reach.
AVOID INJURY FROM UNEXPECTED ACCIDENT
Always pay full attention to the movement of the
log pusher. Do not attempt to load the log on
until the log pusher has stopped. Keep hands
out of the way of all moving parts.
PROTECT YOUR HANDS
Keep you hands away from splits and cracks
which open in the log; They may close suddenly
and crush or amputate your hands. Do not
remove jammed logs with you hands.
DON’T FORCE TOOL
The Log Splitter will work better and safer within
it’s designed parameters. Never try to split logs
larger than those indicated in the specifications
table. This could be dangerous and may
damage the machine. Don’t use log splitter for a
purpose for which it was not intended.
NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED
Don’t leave tool until it has come to a complete stop.
DISCONNECT POWER
Unplug when not in use, before freeing jammed
logs, making adjustments, changing parts,
cleaning, or working on the log splitter; Consult
technical manual before servicing.
PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
Take used oil to an authorised collection point or
follow the stipulations in the country where the
log splitter is used. Do not discharge into drains,
soil or water.
MAINTAIN YOUR LOG SPLITTER WITH CARE
Keep the log splitter clean for best and safest performance.
MAKE THE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF
Lock the shop. Disconnect master switches. Store the log splitter
away from children and others not qualified to use it. Children
should not use the machine.
APPLICATION CONDITIONS
This log splitter is a
home use model
. It is designed for operating
under ambient temperatures b5°C and 40°C and for
installation at altitudes no more than 1000m above M.S.L. The
surrounding humidity should less than 50% at 40°C. It can be
stored or transported under ambient temperatures between -25°C
and 55°C.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Connect the main leads to a standard 230V±10% (50HZ±1Hz)
electrical supply which has protection devices of under-voltage,
over-voltage, over-current as well as a residual current device (RCD)
which maximum residual current rated at 0.03A.
ASSEMBLY
1. Bolt the Support Leg to the Log Splitter, lift the log splitter by the
handles at both ends and place it on a 60 - 75cm high, stable, flat
and level work surface.
2. Familiarise yourself with the controls and features of this log
splitter in the illustrations.

Important!
Before operating the log splitter, the Bleed
Screw (13) should be loosened a few rotations
until air can go in and out of the oil tank
smoothly. Air flow through the Bleed Screw hole
should be detectable while the log splitter is in
use. Before moving the log splitter, make sure
the Bleed Screw is tightened to avoid oil leaking
from this point.
WARNING!
Failure to loosen the bleed screw will keep the sealed air in
hydraulic system being compressed after being decompressed.
Such continuous air compression and decompression will blow
out the seals of the hydraulic system and cause permanent
damage to the log splitter.
WARNING!
DO NOT ADJUST THE MAX PRESSURE LIMITING
SCREW!
The max pressure limiting screw is sealed with glue
to ensure the log splitter works under pressure no
more than 7 tons. The setting was done by qualified
mechanics with professional instruments.
Unauthorized resetting will cause the hydraulic pump
fail to output enough splitting pressure or RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE
MACHINE.
WIRING DIAGRAM
PLUMBING DIAGRAM
OPERATION
This log splitter is equipped with “ZHB” control system that requires
it to be operated by both hands of the user - Left hand controls the
hydraulic control lever while right hand controls the push button
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.
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.
WARNING!
Never force the log splitter for more than 5 seconds by
keeping pressure on it to split excessively hard wood.
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 thus that log should be discarded to protect the log splitter.
WARNING!
Always set logs firmly on the log retaining plates and work
table. Make sure logs will not twist, rock or slip while being
split. Do not force the blade by splitting the log on the upper
part. This will break the blade or damage the machine.
