5 . Hold the control lever, extending the push-
er plate, until the log is split or the cylinder
rod stops at its maximum travel position.
Stop the log splitter (forward movement),
at any point in the splitting process, if you
feel an unsafe log splitting condition is
occurring. As the log is being split, DO
NOT reach forward and attempt to catch
the split wood — let it fall to the ground.
6 . Once the pusher plate reaches its full for-
ward travel, pull back on the control lever
to the full retract position. The ram of the
cylinder will automatically retract into the
cylinder.
It is not necessary to hold the control lever
as the cylinder retracts. Stop the pusher
plate if the log sticks (see caution below).
When the cylinder is fully retracted, the
control valve will automatically shift to a
neutral position.
Depending on the type of wood being split, a log may not always split
into two pieces and fall to the ground. If a log sticks to the wedge or
pusher plate, place the valve handle in the neutral position (stop the
pusher plate from retracting), stop the engine, and carefully remove the log from
the wedge or pusher plate. Allowing the log to remain attached to the pusher
plate when it is fully retracted could lead to possible injury and/or damage to the
log splitter.
CAUTION
b . Make sure both ends of the log you
are splitting are cut as square as pos-
sible. This will prevent the log from
sliding out of position while under
pressure. All logs should be 18 inches
long or shorter.
Never attempt to split wood across the
grain. The log splitter was not designed
for cross-grain splitting. Doing so will
damage the log splitter and may cause
personal injury.
4 . Using only your hand, push the control
lever forward (towards the log). If the log
moves, before it is contacted by the push-
er plate, release the control lever and then
reposition the log. Operate the log splitter
only when in the
safe operating area , as
shown in the picture.
If you find you must hold the log
until the pusher plate touches it
and holds it in place, be very
careful not to put your hand between the
log and the pusher plate or the log and the
splitting wedge. If you must, hold the log
on top and in the middle. Remove your
hand immediately when the pusher plate
engages the log. Never use your knee or
any extension device to operate the valve
control handle.
