60ton Petrol & Diesel Log Splitter Assembly, Installation, Care, Maintenance useage Instruction Manual
•
If a log does not split completely and becomes stuck on
the wedge, follow the instructions below to remove
the log.
•
Do not change splitting positions (horizontal/vertical)
with the engine running. You may contact the muffler and
receive serious burns. Be careful to avoid contact with hot
muffler even after the engine is turned off.
•
Never refuel the engine until it has cooled at least two
minutes.
•
Do not pile logs to be split in a place that will make you
reach across the log splitter in order to load them.
•
Hold the bark side of logs when loading or positioning,
never the ends. Never place your hands or any part of your
body between a log and any part of the log splitter.
•
VERTICAL POSITION LOADING
; Place the log on the
endplate and turn it until it leans against the beam and is
stable. If the log is too big or oddly shaped, stabilize the
log with wooden shims between the log and endplate or
ground.
•
DO NOT
use your leg or knee to stabilize the log.
•
NEVER
stabilize the log by placing your hand on top of
the log.
•
NEVER
load or unload logs while the wedge is moving.
•
Cracks in logs can close quickly and pinch fingers. Keep
fingers away from any cracks that open in partially split
logs.
•
Move each log away from log splitter after it is split. Split
logs left near the log splitter are a trip hazard.
•
Remove both hands from log before activating Split
Control Lever.
•
Use only your hand to operate the Split Control Lever.
Never use any other body part, or a rope, cable, or other
remote device to actuate the control.
•
Once the control valve is actuated in the return direction,
the wedge is designed to keep returning by itself
completely and then stop automatically. Stay clear while
the wedge is returning. It is still powerful enough on the
return stroke to cause serious injury.
2.6. Loading / Unloading
•
A log can become stuck to the wedge if the wedge
becomes embedded in the log and the log doesn’t
split and separate.
•
This can happen if the log is too stringy or tough to
split completely.
•
A stuck log will move back with the wedge on the
initial attempt to retract the wedge.
•
If this happens, retract the wedge completely to allow
the splitter to strip the log from the wedge.
•
Keep hands clear of log and wedge while wedge is
retracting.
•
NEVER
attempt to remove a stuck log by Modifying
the splitter.Adding attachments to the splitter.
Personal injury could result from log or metal pieces
flying out at high speed toward the operator or
bystanders, or the splitter could become damaged.
