v
e difficulty and increase safety
in your work
by
having
a
plan
before beginning
work.
Have
your
logs positioned where they can be
easily reached. Have your work site
located near
your
stack
,
the split
wood or load it onto a nearby
truck or other carrier. Position the log
splitter on solid level ground.
Applying a thin coat of grease to
the surfaces of the ram before
operation will help increase the
durability of the ram.
If a crane is used, tie the
rope at the lifting point
below the blue bundling
label, then hoist the
machine with the crane.
SPLITTER OPERATION
a
Bleed the air out of the hydraulic system
before starting the log splitter. The
cover of the hydraulic oil tank should be
loosened by some rotations until air can
go in and out of the oil tank smoothly.
Air flow through the oil tank filler should
be detectable during operation.
Before moving the log splitter, make
sure the cover of the oil tank is tightened
to avoid oil leaking from this point.
1. Place the log vertically
on the support table,
so that it lies flat on its
face. Press the left lever
to lower the extended
log fixing claw against
the log to secure it. The
extended log fixing claw
can be adjusted to fit
logs with different heights.
Splitting
Failure to loosen the oil tank
cover will keep the sealed air in
hydraulic system being
compressed and
decompressed. Continuous air
compression/decompression
will blow out the seals of the
hydraulic system and cause
permanent damage to the log
splitter.
