Warning!
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.
8
Do not
force the blade by splitting the log on
the upper part. This will break the blade or
damage the machine (fig.16).
9
Break log in the direction of its growing grain.
8
Do not
place log across the log splitter for
splitting. It may be dangerous and may seriously
damage the machine.
8
Do not
attempt to split 2 pieces of log at the same
time. One of them may fly up and hit you.

Danger!
Keep your hands away from splitting
area, live area and heating area while working!

Release both controls.
5.3.2.
After the log pusher moves back and completely stops at its starting position, insert a wedge wood under the jammed log (fig.18).
5.3.3.
Start the log splitter to push the wedge wood to go completely under the jammed one (fig.19).

Turn the log splitter on the motor side.
6.1.4.
Refill fresh hydraulic oil at the volume as per the hydraulic oil capacity of particular model (fig.22).
6.1.5.
Clean the surface of Dipstick on the Oil Drain Bolt and put it back into the oil tank while keeping the log splitter vertical (fig.22).
6.1.6.
Make sure the level of the refilled oil is just between 2 grooves around the Dipstick (fig.23).
6.1.7.
Clean the oil drain Bolt before threading them back. Make sure they are tightened to avoid leakage before placing the log splitter
horizontally.
