LOG SPLITTER OPERATION
1. Plan the work area before using the log splitter. Have the logs positioned where they can be easily
reached.
2. The log splitter accommodates logs up to 52cm in length. The log splitter will work most efficiently on
dry, seasoned logs.
3. Position the log splitter securely on level ground or on a secure stand. If necessary stabilise the
wheels to prevent the log splitter from moving during use. If using an extension cable, do so in a safe
way to avoid damaging the cable or creating a hazard .
4. Before operating the log splitter, the bleed screws (Fig 3) should be
loosened by 3-4 turns to allow the air to go in and out of the oil tank .

moving
t he log splitter to avoid oil leak s .
5. Always place logs firmly on the main body, lying flat against the log
guide plates (Ref A on Fig1). Never attempt to split a log at an angle
and make sure the logs will not twist or slip whilst being split.
Ensure the splitting wedge (Ref J on Fig1) and the log pusher
(Ref B on Fig1) will make contact with the log squarely at each end.
6. For reasons of safety the log splitter requires a two-handed operation. Switch on the electric motor
using the green starting switch (Ref F on Fig1). Using both hands press down on both operating
handles (Ref C on Fig1). The log splitter will compress the log, pushing against the splitting wedge.
When the log is split release both handles – this will allow the log pusher to retract.
WARNING – Never force the splitting of a log by sustaining the hydraulic pressure for more
than 5 seconds. Try re-positioning the log on the splitter.
