HOW TO SPLIT A HARD LOG
In case a log does not split within 5 seconds:
1. Stop the Log Splitter then turn the log 90 degrees.
2. Try splitting the log again.
3. If the log still does not split, it means the hardness of the log is higher than the maximum
power capacity of the Log Splitter. It is better to just set the log aside.
HOW TO FREE A JAMMED LOG
In case a log gets jammed in the Log Splitter:
1. Release the Electric Motor Start Switch and the Operating Handle. This will fully retract the
Log Pusher.
2. Get a triangular wedge of wood and insert it under the jammed log.
3. Re-start the Log Pusher to push the wedge under the jammed log.
4. Repeat the process several times using a larger piece of triangular wedge of wood every time
until the jammed log is free.
5. Do not use a hammer to free a jammed log.
6. Do not hold the jammed log or place your hands near the jammed log when trying to free it.
HOW TO USE THE OPERATING HANDLE
• When the Operating Handle is in the first setting or positioned in the middle, the Log Pusher
moves faster but with less power.
• When the Operating Handle is fully depressed：or positioned towards the bottom, the Log
Pusher moves slower but with maximum power.
MAINTAINING THE LOG SPLITTER
Warning!
Be sure to unplug the power cord before doing any maintenance work!
Sharpening the Wedge
There is usually no need to sharpen the wedge until after long periods of operation. When it is
required, use a fine-toothed file to sharpen the Wedge. Carefully remove any flat spots or burrs
on the edge.
Changing the Hydraulic Oil
1. Check that the Log Pusher (B in Figure 1) is fully retracted to its original position.
2. Tilt the Log Splitter to position the Oil Fill/Drain Port (in Figure 7) pointing up.
3. Unscrew and remove the Dip Stick (10) together with the O-type oil seal (11). (Figure 6).
4. Place an empty container that can hold at least 4 liters of oil under the Log Splitter.
5. Tilt the Log Splitter to let the oil spill into the container until all the oil is emptied into the
container.
6. Tilt the Log Splitter the other way, to position the Oil Fill/Drain Port (in Figure 7) up again.
7. Pour the specified volume of Hydraulic Oil into the hydraulic oil cylinder using a clean funnel.
Use only the recommended hydraulic oil specifically made for this purpose. (see Recommended
Hydraulic Oil in next section)
8. Clean the Dip Stick (10), and re-insert it fully to check the oil level. It should be between the
two marks on the dipstick.
