6.14 Split Wood
WARNING!
Risk of pinching or crushing hazard! The worker
loading the splitter MUST be the only one in
control of the hydraulic cylinder and splitting
wedge.
Only one worker should operate and load the
wood splitter.
W036
IMPORTANT! Do not hold the splitter-control lever to extend
or retract the cylinder once it has reached the end of its
stroke. Doing so can overheat the oil and could damage the
engine.
1.
Place wood or log on the splitter.
2.
Push the control lever to the
Extend
position and hold to
split wood.
3.
Release the lever when the log splits or cylinder reaches full
stroke and stops.
4.
Pull the lever to the
Retract
position to retract the push
block. The detent holds the lever until the cylinder fully
retracts, allowing hands-free operation.
5.
If the log is large enough to require another split, reposition
and repeat steps.
6.
Pile the split wood close to the working area, but do not
allow pieces to pile up and clutter the area. A cluttered
working area can lead to tripping and an accident.
