Recommended size of logs to be split
The diameter of the log is only indicative. A small piece of wood can be difficult to split if it
has knots or if its fibres are very tough. A larger piece of wood can be split if its fibres are
smooth and loose.
Never force the log splitter to split more than 5 seconds with the cylinder under pressure in
order to split excessively hard wood. Overheated oil under pressure may damage the
machine. It is very important that if the log splitter does not split in the first attempt, please
stop the machine and rotate the log 90 degrees. If the wood still cannot be split, it means
that the hardness of the wood exceeds the capacity of the machine and it must be rejected
in order not to damage the log splitter.
By splitting both handles must be used.
When the cylinder moves forward it splits the wood with the wedge. For safety reasons the
wedge stops 120 mm from the end plate.
