WARNING:
Never force the Log Splitter for more than 5
seconds.
2. After a 5-second interval, the Oil under pressure will
overheat and the machine could be damaged. For an
extremely hard log, rotate the log by 90º to see whether it
can be split in a different direction. If you are not able to
split the log, its hardness exceeds the capacity of the
machine and thus that log should be discarded to protect
the Log Splitter from damage.
3. Always set the log firmly on the Retaining Plates and
Work Table. Make sure the ends of the log are square, so
the log does not twist, rock or slip while being split. Do
not force the blade by splitting the log using only the
upper part of the blade. This could break the blade or
damage the machine.
WARNING:
Break the log in the direction of its growing
grain. Do not place the log across the Log Splitter. This is
dangerous and may seriously damage the machine.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to split two logs at the same
time. One of them may fly up and hit you.
