SPLITTING LOGS 

Plan your work site. Work safely and save effort by planning your work beforehand. Have your logs 
positioned where they can be easily reached. Have an area prepared to stack the split wood. 

HINTS & TIPS 

 

Never attempt to load the log splitter whilst the ram is in motion. 

 

Never try to split two logs at once. 

 

Keep your hands away from the splits and cracks which appear while the log is being split. 

 

Do not remove jammed logs with your hands - stop the engine and loosen the log with a downward 
strike on the log with a hammer. 

 

Do not force the tool and do not make alterations to the log splitter as this could be dangerous and 
invalidate your warranty. 

 

Do not try to split logs larger than recommended in the specifications table. 

 
1.

 

Prepare the logs for splitting. This splitter accommodates logs up to 104cm in length. When cutting up 
limbs and large sections, do not cut sections any longer than 100cm. The 3 support table positions for 
splitting are 52cm, 78cm and 104cm, insert the support table in a position nearest the log length, and 
secure the support table with the locking hook. 

 

2.

 

Applying a thin coat of grease to the surfaces of the ram before operation will improve its durability. 

 

 

CAUTION 

Do not attempt to split green logs. 
Dry, seasoned logs will be split much 
more easily, and not be jammed as 
frequently as green wood.
