LOG SPLITTER OPERATION
This log splitter is equipped with “ZHB” control system that must be operated with both of
the users hands – the left hand controls the hydraulic control lever while right hand controls
the pushbutton switch. The log splitter will freeze if either hand is removed. The log pusher
will only start to return backward to the starting position after both hands release the
controls. During use the logpusher will move towards the splitting wedge putting pressure
on the log.
The trigger type lockout device is used to avoid accidental Hydraulic Control Lever
activation. To operate the Hydraulic Control Lever, draw the Trigger backward with your
index finger before pushing the Hydraulic Control Lever forward.
Never force the log splitter for more than 5 seconds. Do not keep pressure
on it to split excessively hard wood.
After 5 seconds of constant use, the oil under pressure will be overheated and the machine
could be damaged. For such extremely hard logs, rotate it by 90
o
to see whether it can be
split in a different direction (the log should still be split with the grain as shown in the
diagrams in this manual). In any case, 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.
