Always use the log splitter in a well-lit area and on
a flat, stable work surface. Also, make sure work
area is well lit and clear of logs that may become
tripping hazards while using the machine.
Locate the log splitter as close as possible to the
logs you will split. Refer to
Extension Cords on
Page 11 for the minimum gauge and maximum
length of extension cord you can use with this log
splitter.
4. Press and hold ON button, then push
hydraulic control lever down. Hydraulic ram
will drive log into splitting wedge. When
hydraulic ram stops, immediately release
both ON button and hydraulic control lever.
5. Clear pieces of split wood away from log
splitter.
Note: A piece of split wood set crossways on
log table makes a good wedge, but it must
narrow enough to slide under end of jammed
log.
2. Start splitter to push wedge under jammed
log until log lifts off splitting head.
Note: If first wedge does not free log, repeat
process with a second wedge until log is free.
Removing Stuck Log
Occasionally, logs will not split and become
stuck on the splitting wedge. When this happens,
DO NOT try to remove it by hand or by kicking it.
This can result in personal injury and damage the
log splitter.
Never use your hands to remove a stuck
log, as hydraulic ram could crush hands
and fingers during accidental startup.
Always use a wooden wedge to remove
a stuck log. If log is still stuck, turn log
splitter OFF and use a hammer and crow
bar to remove stuck log.
To safely remove a stuck log:
1. With hydraulic ram in start position, set a
wooden wedge flat side down on log table
with narrow end pointing under log, as shown
in
Figure 8.
To split a log:
1. Turn air bleed screw clockwise until it stops,
then turn it counterclockwise two full turns.
2. Put on safety glasses, leather work gloves,
and leather work boots.
3. Place log lengthwise on table, against split-
ting wedge (see
Figure 7).
