INSTALLING THE LOG SPLITTER
Installing the Wheels and Supporting Feet
1. Carefully unpack the Main Body of the Log
Splitter from the box and, with the help of another
person, place it on the foam material included
with the box. (See Figure 2)
2. Place the supporting feet (C in Figure 2) and
attach to the Main Body (B in Figure 2). Attach
using 2 screws (21) and 2 nuts (20) then tighten.
(See Figure 3)
3. While the Main Body is still supported on the
foam block, attach safety rings (59) and the 2
wheels (60) to the shaft of the wheel frame (61),
then use the wheel shaft cover (58) to cover the
wheels.
4. Make sure that the wheels are able to turn free-
ly and uniformly. (See Figure 3).
Installing the Operating Handle
Unpack the operating handles (54/55) from the
box and screw them in the receiving hole (52) of
the handles on the Main Body, then turn the han-
dles to tighten. (See Figure 4).
The Log Splitter is now assembled and ready for
use.

OPERATING PROCEDURE
1.
Prepare Work Area
– Make it safe and efficient by planning the work before you begin.
Position your logs for splitting within easy access. Prepare an area where you will place
the split logs also within easy reach. If they will be loaded into a receptacle or on a truck,
position as near as possible.
2.
Prepare Logs for Splitting
– Sort out your logs before you start splitting. Separate logs
you can split from the logs you cannot, logs that are too long, too small, and too green.
Check out Operating Safety Rules for more details. Remove any foreign material that may
obstruct the Log Splitter operation such as nails, wires, or screws. These may also get
flung during splitting and cause an accident. Remove any branches from the log as well.
3.
Setup Power Source
– Locate a power outlet that meets the required power require-
ments. Connect the Log Splitters power cord to the power outlet and make sure it is se-
cure. If the Log Splitter is too far for the power cord to reach the power outlet, use a power
extension cord that meets the required power load to connect the Log Splitter to the power
