LOG SPLITTER OPERATION
The log splitter is equipped with “ZHB” control system that requires to be operated with both hands
of the user – Left and Right hand control the hydraulic levers. The log splitter will freeze upon
absence of either hand. Only after both hands have released the controls will the log pusher begin
to return backward to the starting position. The electric motor will stay running once the green
button has been depressed. (See Pic Part J) To turn off the electric motor depress the button
again.
WARNING:
Never force the log splitter for more than 5 seconds by keeping
pressure on it to split excessively hard wood.
Excessive Force Will Void Your Warranty.
For such extremely hard wood, rotate it 90 degrees to see whether it can be split in a different
location or swap ends of the log on the wedge side.
Always set log firmly on the log retaining platform. Make sure logs will not twist, rock, or slip while
being split. Do not force the blade by splitting the log on the upper part. This will break the blade or
damage the machine.
Split log in the direction of its growing grain.
Do not place log across the log splitter for splitting. It may be dangerous and may seriously
damage the machine.
Do not Split 2 logs at the same time.
PLAN YOUR WORK AREA FOR SAFETY
Work safely and save effort by planning your work before you begin. Have your logs positioned
where they can easily be reached. Have a place to stack the split wood.
PREPARE THE LOG FOR SPLITTING
Be sure your logs have no limbs or branches still attached to the log. Be sure the ends of the logs
have been cut square to the length of the log. Dry wood splits easier then green wood. Green wood
will jam more easily than dry wood.
CONNECTING TO POWER SOURCE
Be sure that your power source and extension cord meets the requirements as noted earlier in this
manual. Your power source determines the splitters ability to exert force to split the log. Be sure to
avoid wet conditions; do not allow the power supply to be exposed to standing water.
