2. Never split logs bigger than the
specified log size capacity. Do not
attempt to split logs with debris such as
nails, staples, etc as this may cause a jam
or damage the machine. The end of the
log must be level and all branches must
be removed prior to splitting. All logs
must be split along the direction of the
vein on the trunk. Failure to cut the log
following the direction of the log could
damage the log splitter.
3. The operator must use both hands on
the control rod and should never attempt
to use other means to control the control
rod.
4. The log splitter is to only be operated
by adults who have read this operation
manual.
5. Position the machine on a support of
60-75 cm (2.63” – 2.95”) high, free from
any objects that could prevent freedom
of movement for the operator while
working. It is recommended to operate
the log splitter on a log splitter platform.
Never operate this machine on the
ground because this may increase the
risk of injury to the face as a result of
splintering or debris that may occur
during the log splitting process.
6. Danger! Never split more than one
log at a time because doing so may cause
the logs to jump.
7. Danger! Never place a new log or
change a log when the machine is in use.
8. When the machine is in use, all other
people and animals with the exception of
the operator must maintain a minimum
five (5) meters / 16.4’ft. distance.
9. Never tamper with the protective
device on the log splitter or work
without it.
10. When trying to split a hard log,
never force the log splitter for more than
five seconds. The high temperature of
the oil may damage the machine under
pressure. If this occurs, stop the machine
and turn the log 90 degrees, then resume
splitting. If the log still cannot be split,
then the hardness of the log exceeds the
capacity of the machine and must not be
used on the log splitter.
11. Never leave the machine running
unintended. Always keep the machine
turned off and unplugged from the
electrical outlet when not in use.
12. Never use this machine near natural
gas, a gasoline tank, or other flammable
materials.
13. Never open the switch box or
electrical motor cover. Always contact a
qualified electrician if a problem is
suspected.
14. Always keep the machine and power
cord a safe distance away from water.
Handle the power cord with care to
prevent it from being damaged. Keep the
power cord away from high
temperatures, oil and sharp objects.
Recommended log size
Log size capacity: 520 mm / 20.47”
(length) 50 – 300 mm / 1.96” – 11.81”
(diameter)
1. The specified diameter is just for
reference. If the log has a knot or the log
fiber is too hard, it will be difficult to
split.
2. Never use the cam pressure to force
the log splitter to split an unusually hard
log and do not attempt to do so for over
5 seconds.
It is important to stop the machine if a
log cannot be split after the first attempt.
When the machine is stopped, turn the
log 90 degrees and then resume splitting.
If the log still cannot be split, then the
hardness of the log exceeds the capacity
of the machine and must not be used on
the log splitter.
