4. OPERaTION
(Refer to fig.1 below)
. The log splitter has an electrically powered hydraulic ram situated inside the lower hollow upright steel section. The ram
is usually fully extended at rest and is connected to the upper hollow steel section behind the splitting wedge (2). When the motor is switched
on and the two control levers are operated the ram retracts and draws the splitting wedge downwards to split the log situated on the table.
