2. INTRODUCTION
Safe and easy way to split logs, offering continuous sizing and up to 8tonne of pressure. Seven tier wedge system allows workpiece to be as
near to wedge as possible, therefore minimising splitting time. Operated by foot pump requiring a maximum of 15 strokes to capacity (without
load) for easy and fast splitting.

4. ASSEMBLY
4.1.
Attach the hydraulic pump to the base by using two M8 allen bolts (fig.1).
4.2.
Slide the log support over the main post and down onto the hydraulic pump unit, if it isn’t already assembled (fig.1).
4.3.
Attach the two feet to the bottom of the main post, Secure each foot using two M10 bolts, two lock washers Ø10 and two M10 nuts.
Bolt through the two outer holes (fig.2).
4.4.
Slide the wedge assembly over the main post, if not already assembled, locate the pins into one of the sets of locating holes (fig.3).
4.5.
Attach the two handles to the top of the log splitter, one handle per side. Secure each handle using a lock washer Ø10 and a M10 nut
(fig.3).
4.6.
Attach foot pedal by inserting into the hydraulic pump socket. Tighten bolt to secure the foot pedal in place (fig.4).
4.7.
Attach the two springs into the centre holes of the feet first. Then attach the other ends of the springs to the log support
.
(fig.5).
4.8.
Attach the two log cradle arms to the splitter using four M6 bolts and four lock washers (fig.6).
5. OPERATION
5.1.
TRANSPORTATION
5.1.1.
Carefully tip the log splitter backwards onto it’s wheels, using the handles to transport it short distances.
5.2.
WORK SITE PREPARATION
5.2.1.
Plan the work site beforehand to ensure a safe working environment and to save effort by positioning the logs so they can easily be
reached. Ensure that the log splitter is positioned on firm and level ground. Locate site so that the split wood can be stacked or loaded
directly into a suitable vehicle or trailer.
5.2.2. When cutting up wood for splitting, bear in mind the capacity of the splitter, which is between 300mm and 575mm, decide which length
is most appropriate and cut the wood slightly shorter than the set length.
