1. Put the log to be split up along the working surface (2). The log shall be located straight on the main bar, fixated by the
two guide plates (6).
2. This log splitter is designed for two-hand operation – left hand is used for the hydraulic valve (11), right hand is used for
the ON/OFF switch (7) (Fig. 1)
3. Push the start switch (7), wait a few seconds till the motor runs in full speed and builds up pressure in the hydraulics,
start the splitting process by activating the valve handle (11) downwards.
4. If any of the two controllers is released, the splitter stops immediately. If both the two controllers are released, the push
plate returns to start position.
If the log doesn´t start to split after 5 seconds in contact with the wedge, stop the action immediately. Probably the wood in
the log is too hard to be processed with this equipment. Turn the log 90° and try again.
WARNING! Don´t expose a log for a hard, exigent piston pressure for more than 5 seconds. Overheated oil under
pressure may damage the equipment.
Incorrect location of the log (Fig. 2)
Always put the log straight down on the processing area. (2) Ensure it will not slip or slide out from the guide plates nor
sidelong. The splitting wedge may become overloaded if the force is not distributed over the whole wedge edge.
Never try to split more than one log at a time. The risk for hurling away the log is very high.
Log get jammed (Fig. 3)
WARNING! Never try to knock away a log which has jammed. This may cause damages on the equipment and further
accidents.
Proceed like this (Fig. 4):
Allow the push plate to return to starting position.
Put a wood wedge underneath the log.
Start the process in such a way, so the push plate pushes the wedge under the log which has jammed, and lift it up.
Continue the process with wedges of different sizes until the log is pushed up and away from the splitter.
ATTENDENCE AND MAINTENANCE
Before all cleaning and maintenance:
•
Switch off the equipment
•
Pull the mains connection
•
Wait until the splitter has stopped all movements
WARNING!
To avoid injuries, use protection gloves.
Cleaning
Before all activities: pull the mains plug.
For cleaning plastic parts, use a damp cloth. Don´t use detergent, solvents or sharp tools.
Remove resin.
Clean the surfaces of the splitter with suitable maintenance spray.
Cooling slots and movable parts should regularly be cleaned with a brush for dust and rubbish which get stuck.
Lubricate with regular intervals all movable parts.
Check the oil level; replace the hydraulic oil, respectively.
Recommended type of hydraulic oil
Suitable oil for log splitters are: SHELL Tellus 10-46, Esso Nuto H46, DEA HD B46. Alternatively, any equivalent hydraulic
oil with a viscosity of HLP 46 can be used.
ADVICE
Never use any other type of oil! This would affect the function of the hydraulic piston.
Checking the oil level
The push plate (1) should be in rest-position. Disconnect the equipment from mains.
Tilt the splitter Fig. 7) so the drain outlet for the oil faces upwards (14, Fig. 1)
WARNING! Two persons are required to lift up and secure the equipment.
