Operating Instructions
Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT
SAFETY INFORMATION section at the
beginning of this manual before use
of this product.
The Splitting Operation - Additional Safety
Instructions:
1.
Hold the bark side of logs when loading or
positioning, never the ends. Never place
your hands or any body parts between a log
and any part of the Log Splitter.
2.
Never load or unload logs while the Ram (9)
is moving.
3.
Do not pile logs to be split in a place that will
make you reach across the Log Splitter in
order to load them.
4.
Log ends that are not cut square can slide
out while splitting and cause a safety hazard
or cause excessive force to Log Splitter
components. Use a chainsaw (not included)
to cut logs square on each end before
attempting to split them.
5.
Never attempt to split more than one log at
a time. A piece of log can unexpectedly be
thrown from the machine, causing severe
personal injury.
6.
Do not use the Log Splitter to split logs
across the grain. Doing so will damage the
Log Splitter and could also cause pieces
of log to be thrown, injuring the operator or
bystanders.
Note:
Many accidents occur when there is
more than one person involved in loading and
operating the Log Splitter. Only one person
should operate at a time. If a second person
is assisting in loading logs, NEVER allow an
assistant to hold the log in place while the
operator pulls on the Jack Handles.
To Operate:
1.
Grip one Handle in each hand and pump the
Handles in a back-and-forth stroke motion.
See Figure C.
2.
This action will force the log against the
Wedge Base and split the log.
3.
Remove the split pieces.
4.
Turn Handle Wheel (36A) counterclockwise
no more than one full turn to retrieve the
Ram. See Figure C.
5.
Turn Handwheel clockwise until snug.
6.
When finished, store the Log Splitter with
the Hand Wheel turned counterclockwise
one turn to relieve the hydraulic pressure
built up during use.
To Remove A Stuck Log:
1.
A log can be stuck on the Wedge Base if
the Wedge becomes embedded in the log
and the log doesn’t completely split and
separate. This can happen if the log is too
stringy or tough to split completely. If this
happens, follow the directions below.
