Operating Instructions
Always split the log along the grain of the wood. Splitting across
the grain may cause some types of wood to burst or splinter
resulting in possible injury.
If a log becomes stuck on the wedge, remove both hands, unplug
the log splitter from the power source and knock the log off of
the wedge with a hammer. Do not attempt to dislodge the log
with your hands.
When finished splitting the logs, switch the motor off and
unplug the power cable.
DIRECTIONS FOR REPLACING HYDRAULIC FLUID
1) Place a large pan under the motor end of the log splitter.
2) Use the included hex wrench to loosen the fluid drain bolt and
remove the bolt with the attached dipstick.
3) Raise the motor end of the log splitter to allow the fluid to drain
in to a pan. Lower the splitter when it is empty. (See Fig A.)
4) Dispose of the used fluid properly.
5) Raise the splitting wedge end of the splitter and make sure it is
secure.
6) Pour approximately 3.2 liters of approved hydraulic fluid into
the tank.
7) Check the fluid level of the dipstick. Add more fluid if needed.
(See Fig B.)
8) Replace the fluid drain bolt and tighten securely.
9) Lower the log splitter.
