Original Instructions Version April 13
LOG SPLITTER OPERATION
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 accommodates logs up to 104cm
in length. When cutting up limbs and large sections, do not cut sections any
longer than 100cm. The 3 support table positions are for splitting logs up to
52cm, 78cm 104cm in length. Insert the support table in the position nearest to
the log length, and secure the support table with the locking hook.
Do not attempt to split seasoned logs. Green logs split much
more easily, and will not put undue pressure on the splitter.
Seasoned logs can also split violently, which can be dangerous
to the operator.
3.
Applying a thin coat of grease to the surfaces of the ram before operation will
lengthen the durability of the ram.
4.
Start the engine, following the procedure listed in the Briggs & Stratton engine
manual. The splitting wedge should rise to its highest position automatically.
5.
Open the Air Bleed. Loosen the oil tank cover two turns whenever the splitter
is being used. Retighten this cover when you finish.
6.
While operating under extremely low temperature, keep the log splitter
running under no load for 15 minutes to preheat the hydraulic oil.
7.

functioning by following these steps:
(1)

above the highest table position.
(2)

original position.
(3)
Release both levers, the ram should rise to the highest position
automatically.
8.
To set the wedge ram stroke, take the following steps:
(1)
Move the splitting wedge to desired position. The upper position of
the ram wedge travel should be about 3~5cm over the logs to be split.
(2)
