2. Size of the logs to be split
The figure 1 shows the maximum log sizes that can be split.
The diameter of the log is indicative: a small log can be difficult to split if it has
knots or a particularly tough fiber. On the other hand, if the wood has regular
fibers it might not be difficult to split logs with diameter greater than the maximum
shown in fig. 1.
It is important not to insist when the log does not split on the
first attempt, as the pump may be damaged by the overheating of the oil
when the machine is made to work under maximum stress in the attempt to
split excessively hard wood.
3. Recommended oils
We recommend use of the following oils for the hydraulic cylinder.
SHELL TELLUS T22
ARAL VITAM GF22
SP ENERGOL HCP22
MOBILE DTE 11 OR equivalent
DO NOT USE OTHER GRADE OILS
4. Application conditions
This log splitter is a home use model. It is designed for operating under ambient
temperature b5°C and 40°C and for installation at altitudes no more than
3' (1 m) above M.S.L. The surrounding humidity should less than 50% at 40°C. It
can be stored or transported under ambient temperatures between -25°C and
55°C.

For your own safety, never forget to bolt the support leg to the log
splitter, lift the log splitter by the handles at both ends and place it on a 60-75cm
high, stable, flat and level work surface.
WARNING!
Never use the log splitter if it is not in perfect order or if it needs
servicing. Before starting work, check correct functioning of all the safety devices
(ZHB, push button).
1. Before operating the log splitter, it is necessary to fit the wheel (2) Fig. 2, on
supporting shaft (1) as shown. Insert the wheels on the shaft, block it using the
washer (3), and fasten by the lock nut (4).
2. Assemble the supporting leg on the machine body, use the two bolts, washers to
fasten the supporting leg on the machine body.
3. Use the bolts to fasten the safety guard on the supporting bracket to protect the
