OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: For additional information regarding the parts listed in the following pages, refer
to the Assembly Diagram on page 15.

Please Refer to Figure D on page 10 in following these instructions.

1.

Plan your work site. Work safely and save effort by planning your work before
hand. Have your logs positioned where they can be easily reached. Have a site
located to stack the split wood or  load it onto a nearby truck or other carrier.

2.

Prepare the logs for splitting. This splitter accomodates logs up to 20” in length,
and 10” in diameter.  When cutting up limbs and large sections, do not cut sections
any longer than 20”. Do not attempt to split green logs. Dry, seasoned logs split
much more easily, and will not jam as frequently as green wood.

3.

Route the power cord. Locate an appropriate power outlet, and secure an
adequate extension cord, if needed. Route the cord from the splitter to the power
source in a way that safeguards against tripping on the cord, or the cord becoming
damaged during the work session. Be sure to avoid wet conditions.

4.

Check level of hydraulic oil.  Before first use, and before each subsequent use,
check to make sure the Log Splitter is filled with hydraulic oil (see “Checking/
Changing Hydraulic Oil” section on page 12).

5.

Position Splitter Securely.  Be sure the Splitter is positioned firmly on level, solid
ground. If necessary, block the Wheels (25) with wedges to prevent them from
rolling.

6.

Open the Air Bleed. Loosen the Bleed Screw (14) - [located on the Front Cover
(15) in the upper right-hand corner] 3-4 turns whenever the splitter is being used.
Retighten this screw when you are finished.

7.

Place log onto Splitter. Place the log onto the splitter, lengthwise and lying flat on
the Main Body (47A).  The log should lie flat on the Splitter, and be cradled by the
Guide (46A). 

Never attempt to split a log at an angle.  Be sure the Wedge and Log

Pusher (49A) will contact the log squarely on the ends.

8.

Two hand operation. When it is safe to do so, depress the Switch (36) with one
hand. 
 Wait a few seconds as the motor spins up and creates pressure in the
Hydraulic pump. Then, when it is safe to do so, depress the Handle A (61). The
Log Pusher (49A) will compress the log, pushing it against the Wedge, splitting the
log.  Once the log is split, release both the Switch (36) and Handle A (61); this will
allow the Log Pusher (49A) to retract.

Warning:   If the log does not split immediately, do not force it by maintaining the
thrust for more than a few seconds. This can damage the tool. It is better to try
re-positioning the log on the Log Splitter, or setting the log aside.
