7.7.1 Using the log splitter
Before starting to use the screw cone log splitter:
Make sure that the splitting screw and its tip are intact and can rotate freely, and that there is no string or other
foreign material coiled around the shaft of the drive unit.
Always install the Log holder bar (see picture below) before using the log splitter. If the Log holder bar is not
installed, the log splitter cone will start to rotate logs instead of splitting them efficiently.
The log splitter cone and its replaceable tool tip are precision machined tools. Never
lower the log splitter cone tip on a hard surface. Avoid dropping of the cone and hitting
any obstacle or rocks with it.
Operating the screw cone log splitter:
WARNING
Risk of entanglement from sudden start of the attachment - Prevent the attachment
from starting before clearing blockages.
When removing a cone screw that has
become stuck, the Drive unit may begin to rotate unexpectedly immediately after the
blockage has been cleared. Always follow the safe stopping procedure before leaving the
driver's seat.
WARNING
Risk of entanglement - Keep a safe distance to a rotating cone screw. Never feed
wood manually to the splitter.
Start the log splitter only when beginning to use it. Do
not leave the equipment running unattended. Do not go near the equipment when
another person operates the controls of the loader. Stay back if other person operates
the controls of the loader. Never grasp the cone screw or try to control or guide it
manually.
To start the attachment, turn the auxiliary hydraulics control lever of the loader to its locked position. The log
splitter is usually used with low engine rpm, and depending on the model of the loader, one or two auxiliary
hydraulic pumps are used (where applicable).
The logs should be laying down, so that the screw cone is pushed in from the side of the log. If the screw cone
becomes stuck in a log, rotate the drive unit to the opposite direction and lift with the loader boom.
If the tip is blunt and the wood does not split before it is pulled to the end of the cone, it can cause the cone to
get stuck or require a much higher force to be applied on the wood. When using properly designed Avant tip
and thread profile, the cone and the thread will allow you to almost effortlessly pull the wood onto the cone.
