BEFORE SPLITTING WOOD

• Read and understand your Dosko owner’s manual.

• Lock and block the log splitter to prevent unintended 

   movement.

STARTING LOG SPLITTER

• Flip switch (located on log splitter) to “On” position.

• Turn switch (located on engine) to “On” position.

• Rotate fuel on-off lever (located on engine) to “On” position.

• Rotate choke lever (located on engine) to choking position. 

   If engine is warm this step may not be necessary.

• Set throttle (located on engine) about ¼ open.

• Pull recoil rope (located on engine) to start engine.

• When engine starts — rotate choke lever to “Off” or 

   “Open” position.

• Allow engine to warm up prior to splitting wood. Increase 

   engine speed by moving throttle lever to full open position.

SPLITTING WOOD

• Load log onto beam between the wedge and endplate.

     This log splitter is equipped with a unique double-edged 

     splitting wedge, which is capable of splitting wood on 

     either the extension or retraction stroke of the wedge.

     Use a chainsaw to cut logs square on each end before 

     splitting. Logs not cut square can slide out while splitting

     and become a safety hazard.     

     Hold the bark side of the logs when loading or 

     positioning, never the ends.

• With log placed appropriately, pull split control lever 

   to move splitting wedge in towards log.

• After completion of splitting, turn off unit.

     Flip switch (located on log splitter control panel) to “Off” 

     position.

     Turn on-off switch (located on engine) to “Off” position.

     Rotate fuel on-off lever (located on engine) to “Off” 

     position.

• After use, with unit turned off and exercising extreme   

   caution near HOT components, clean debris from around 

   engine area as a hot engine can be a fire hazard.
