c. The operator must be positioned at the
control end of the log splitter behind
the wheels as shown in figure 4.
WARNING!
• Do not place the log at an angle against the wedge to split the log on the upper part (fig. 2).
Doing so can break the wedge or damage the machine.
• Do not place the log crosswise on the splitter (fig. 3). This is dangerous and may seriously
damage the machine.
• Do not split more than one log at a time. One of them may fly out the splitter and cause injury.
• If the log is small, place it against the log pusher before starting the splitter.
• Do not try to split logs that are larger than the log capacity indicated in the Specifications
section.
WARNING! Do not crouch on the ground, sit down on a log beside the
splitter, or kneel down by the log splitter (fig. 5). Always keep your
hands and body out of the splitting or operating zone while using the
log splitter.

WARNING! After 5 seconds, the pressurized oil becomes overheated
and could damage the motor. Never keep pressure on the wood by
trying to force the log splitter for more than 5 seconds. If the log
is extremely hard, rotate the log 90° and try to split it in a different
direction. If this doesn’t work, it means that the hardness of the log
exceeds the capacity of the log splitter therefore, the log should be
discarded. Do not force the log splitter to split very hard wood.
NOTE: Both hands are required to start the log splitter.
Simultaneously holding the switch with your right hand and
pushing the hydraulic control lever down with your left hand
starts the hydraulic pump which pushes the log into the wedge.
If either hand is removed from either one of the controls, the log
splitter will automatically return to the starting position.
d. Using your right hand, push and hold down the pushbutton switch (fig. 6).
e. While holding down the switch with your right hand, use your left hand to push the
hydraulic control lever down (fig. 6).
