Protect Yourself and Those Around You

This is a high-powered machine, with moving parts operating with high energy. You must operate the machine safely. Unsafe operation can create a number of hazards for you, as well as anyone else in the nearby area. Always take the following precautions when using this machine:

 Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people, their property, and

themselves.

 Always wear protective goggles or safety glasses with side shields while using the Log Splitter to protect your eyes from possible

thrown debris.

 Avoid wearing loose clothing or jewelry, which can catch on moving parts.  We recommend wearing gloves while using the Log Splitter. Be sure your gloves fit properly and do not have loose cuffs or

drawstrings.

 Wear shoes with non-slip treads when using your Log Splitter. If you have safety shoes, we recommend wearing them. Do not

use the machine while barefoot or wearing open sandals.

 Wear long pants while operating the Log Splitter.  Use ear protectors or ear plugs rated for at least 20 dBA to protect your hearing.  Keep bystanders at least 50 feet away from your work area at all times. Stop the motor when another person or pet approaches.

Hydraulic Safety

High fluid pressures are developed in hydraulic machines. Pressurized hydraulic fluid escaping through a pin hole opening can puncture skin and cause severe blood poisoning. Therefore, the following Instructions should be heeded at all times.

 Do not operate the unit with frayed, kinked, cracked or damaged hoses, fittings, or tubing. Stop the motor, wait 5 minutes and

relieve hydraulic system pressure before changing or adjusting fittings, hoses, tubing, or other system components.

 The relief valve settings are set at the factory for best Splitter performance and safety. Make sure other factors such as using an

extension cord that is not rated for this application is not the problem before adjusting valve settings.

 Do not check for leaks with your hand. Leaks can be located by passing cardboard or wood over the suspected area: Look for

discoloration. If injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at once. Serious infection or reaction can develop if proper medical treatment is not administered immediately.

 Always wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from hydraulic fluid.

Safety for Children and Pets

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children and pets. Children are often attracted to the machine and the splitting activity. precautions:

 Keep children and pets at least 50 feet from the working area and ensure they are under the watchful care of a responsible

adult.

 Be alert and turn the machine off if children or pets enter the work area.  Never allow children to operate the Log Splitter.

Never

assume that children will remain where you last saw them. Always follow these

Safety with Electric - Powered Machines

Never overlook the hazards of electricity. Always follow these precautions:

 Never open the switch box or motor cover. Never attempt any electrical repairs yourself. If in doubt, consult a qualified

electrician, visit our website at www.DRpower.com or contact DR Power Equipment for toll-free support at: 1-800-dr-owner (376-9637) for help or information.

 Never use an extension cord that is not rated for outdoor use.  Never operate the Log Splitter if there is an electrical hazard present.  Never operate the Log Splitter in wet conditions and always store under cover.  Never operate the Log Splitter with a damaged electrical cord or damaged extension cord.  Never pull on the electrical cord to move the machine.  Always grasp the electrical cord plug when unplugging the cord from the outlet; never pull the plug out by the cord. Make

sure your fingers do not touch the metal prongs when plugging or unplugging.

 Never operate the Log Splitter unless the electrical cord is plugged into a properly grounded GFCI protected electrical outlet,

which supplies 110-120v power, and is protected by a 20-amp circuit breaker.

 Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.  If you are using an extension cord, keep the connection between the electrical cord and the extension cord well away from any

water.

 Never use an extension cord longer than 25 feet and smaller than 12 awg in diameter, or longer than 50 feet and smaller than

10 awg in diameter; the cord will produce a voltage drop that will prevent the motor from supplying full power and may cause damage to the motor. Use of a smaller diameter (larger awg number) extension cord could result in melting of the insulation or even create a fire.

 Always keep the electrical cord and/or extension cord away from excessive heat, oil, and sharp objects.

Towing (optional Road Tow Kit)

 ALWAYS check before towing to make certain your splitter is correctly and securely attached to the towing vehicle. Be sure

that the ball hitch you are using is the proper size for the hitch coupler on the splitter. Be sure the safety chains are properly hooked to the vehicle leaving enough slack for turning.

 ALWAYS raise the jack to the highest setting before transporting the splitter.  ALWAYS use accessory lights and devices when transporting on a road or highway to warn operators of other vehicles. Check

your local government regulations for DOT information.

 ALWAYS allow for added length of the splitter when turning, parking, crossing intersections, and in all driving situations.  ALWAYS be careful when backing up. You could jackknife your splitter if care is not taken.  ALWAYS travel slowly over rough terrain, on hillsides, and around curves to prevent tipping.  NEVER exceed 30 mph. when towing your splitter. Obey all state and local regulations when towing on state and local roads

and highways. Adjust your speed for terrain and conditions, as needed. Be extra cautious when towing over rough terrain, especially over a railroad crossing.

 NEVER allow anyone to sit or ride on your splitter.  NEVER carry any cargo on your splitter.  NEVER tow the splitter near the edge of a ditch.

General Safety

Operating this Log Splitter safely is necessary to prevent or minimize the risk of death or serious injury. Unsafe operation can create a number of hazards for you. Always take the following precautions when operating this Log Splitter:

 Your Log Splitter is a powerful tool, not a plaything. Exercise extreme caution at all times. The machine is designed to Split

Logs. Do not use it for any other purpose.

 Allow only one person to operate the Log Splitter at any time.  If the machine should start making an unusual noise or vibration, turn the machine off and unplug the electrical cord and

allow the machine to cool, then inspect for damage. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble. Check for damaged parts and clean, repair and/or replace as necessary.

 Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.  Never allow people who are unfamiliar with these instructions to use the Log Splitter. Allow only responsible individuals who

are familiar with these rules of safe operation to use your machine.

 Never overload or attempt to split logs beyond the manufacturer’s recommendation. Personal injury or damage to the

machine could result.

 While using the Log Splitter, don't hurry or take things for granted. When in doubt about the equipment or your surroundings

stop the machine and take the time to look things over.

 Never operate the machine when under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.  Use the machine only in daylight.  Keep all nuts and bolts tight and keep the equipment in good operating condition.  Always cut the ends of the log you are splitting as squarely as possible.  Never split more than one log at a time unless you fully extended the ram and you need a second log to complete the split of

the first log.

 Never put anything between the log trays and the side of a log; logs spread as they are forced against the wedge.  Never operate the wedge in a stalled position for more than five (5) seconds. The hydraulic fluid may overheat and damage

the machine. If the wood being split is excessively hard, stop the machine, rotate the log 180 and try again. If you still cannot split the log, reject the log as it exceeds the capacity of the machine.

 Never leave the Log Splitter unattended while plugged in. If you leave the area, unplug from the power source.  Clean up as you work; accumulated split wood and wood chips can create a hazardous work environment.  Keep your hands and feet away from the splitting area while the wedge is in motion.  Use only your hands to operate the Log Splitter controls.  Do not place your hands at pinch points where they can catch between a log and the wedge, log trays or the ram.  Do not put any part of yourself, your clothing, or your personal protective equipment into a crack in a log that you are

splitting; it might close suddenly with great force.

 Never split anything other than logs free of nails, wires, and branches. Maximum log length is 20" with a maximum diameter

of 24" for the DR DUAL-ACTION ELECTRIC LOG SPLITTER.

 Never operate the Log Splitter in an area of natural gas or flammable liquids.  Always operate the Log Splitter from the operator zone (Chapter 3). Never stand on, straddle, or climb over the Log Splitter

at any time.

 Do not handle logs by their ends when you position them on the Log Splitter. Handle from the sides of the log.  Always unplug the Log Splitter from the power source before adjusting or servicing the machine. If you have to stop to

remove any debris from the machine, always retract the ram and unplug the machine.

 Do not move or reposition the Log Splitter with its motor running.  Check the Log Splitter before turning it on. Never use the machine without ensuring that all guards and shields are in place.

Replace damaged, missing or failed parts before using the Splitter.

 Never, under any conditions, remove, bend, cut, fit, weld, or otherwise alter standard parts on the Log Splitter. This includes

all shields and guards. Modifications to your machine could cause personal injuries and property damage and will void your warranty.

 Know how to stop the Log Splitter quickly; see “Stopping the Log Splitter” in Chapter 3.  Never operate your unit on a slippery, wet, muddy, or icy surface. Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling.

Adding Hydraulic Fluid

Tools and Supplies Needed:

 Paper Towels  Hydraulic Fluid

 You must add hydraulic fluid before using the splitter. This machine is

shipped without hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic tank. When performing the following procedures, fill the hydraulic tank slowly, checking the level frequently to avoid overfilling.

 To get an accurate reading when checking the hydraulic fluid level:

- the machine should be on a level surface.

- the dipstick should be pushed in fully to ensure an accurate fluid level reading.

TIP: Check the Fluid level by removing the Hydraulic Fluid Filler Cap and wiping the steel rod of the Dipstick with a Paper Towel. Reinsert the Cap fully (Figure

19). Remove the Cap and lay the Steel Rod onto a dry Paper Towel and read the level by the wet mark that is transferred from the Steel Rod to the Paper Towel.

1. Remove the Hydraulic Fluid Fill Cap Dipstick and fill the Hydraulic Tank with

the recommended fluid (see Table-1).

NOTE: The tank is full when the fluid level is within the recommended level on the Dipstick. The recommended level is in the middle of the two marks on the Steel Rod. Do not deviate past the marks up or down from that point. If the fluid level is not within this range, fluid must be added or removed to bring it within that range.

DUAL-ACTION ELECTRIC LOG SPLITTER

Splitting

Note: All logs should be no longer than 20".

 Do not place your hands on the ends of the log when loading the Log

Splitter. This is a very UNSAFE method and could result in injury to your hands (Figure 23).

 Do not reach or step across the rail while the Log Splitter is running. This

is a very UNSAFE method which could cause personal injury or even death.

 Never attempt to split wood across the grain. The Log Splitter was not

designed for cross-grain splitting. Doing so could damage the Log Splitter and may cause personal injury (Figure 24).

 Make sure both ends of the log you are splitting are cut as square as

possible. This will prevent the log from sliding out of position while under pressure (Figure 25)

Figure 23

Never run the Log Splitter unless the hydraulic fluid tank is at the proper level.

1. Place the log on the Log Splitter. Grasp the log on the sides near the

middle of the block (Figure 26). Center the log, side-to-side, on the rail of the Log Splitter, making sure that one end is against the Stop Base.

2. Using only your hand, push the Valve Control Handle forward (towards the

log) (Figure 27). If the log moves before it is contacted by the Wedge, release the Valve Control Handle and then reposition the log.

If the log does not split immediately, do not continue the forward thrust of the ram for more than five (5) seconds. This can damage the splitter. Try repositioning the log on the splitter or set the log aside.

3. Hold the Valve Control Handle, moving the Wedge towards the Log until the log is split or the cylinder rod stops at its

maximum travel position. Stop the Log Splitter (forward movement), at any point in the splitting process, if you feel an unsafe splitting condition is occurring. As the log is being split, DO NOT reach forward and attempt to catch the split wood — let it fall to the Tray.

4. Once the Wedge reaches its full forward travel, let go of the Valve Control Handle and the Wedge will stay at that position.

5. Load another log on the other side of the Wedge and pull the Valve Control Handle, moving the Wedge towards you and the

Log until the log is split or the cylinder rod stops at its maximum travel position.

Depending on the type of wood being split, a log may not always split into two pieces and fall onto the trays. If a log sticks to the wedge, move the wedge away from the base, stop the motor, and carefully remove the log from the wedge. If the log is stuck onto the wedge and you can’t remove it by hand, a piece of wood cut into a wedge shape can be used between the log and base to lift the log from the machine as you actuate the lever.

Splitting Large Logs

When splitting a large log, or one in which the wood is extremely tough or stringy (such as elm), the first pass through the Splitter may not split the log into two sections. If this happens, turn the log and split off small sections. Repeat this process as necessary to split the entire log.

General Maintenance Check (before operating)

The hydraulic system (hoses, cylinder, and pump) should be carefully inspected before each use. Also, inspect the mechanical parts at the same time. Make sure all clamps, nuts, bolts, fittings, etc. are properly installed and tightened.

Do not check for leaks with your hand. Leaks can be located by passing a piece of cardboard or wood around the suspected leak and looking for discoloration. High-pressure fluid escaping from a very small hole can be almost invisible. Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin, causing serious injury or even death. If fluid is injected into your skin, it must be treated immediately by a doctor familiar with this type of injury.

Always replace frayed, kinked, or cracked hoses and/or other damaged hydraulic components with DR Power Equipments authorized parts and components specified in the “Parts” section (Chapter 7) of this manual. Replacement parts from secondary suppliers (not original DR Power Equipments replacement parts) can lead to product damage and/or personal injury, and will void the warranty.

Do not remove the cap from the hydraulic tank or reservoir while the Log Splitter is running. Hot fluid, under pressure, could be expelled resulting in serious injury.

Should it become necessary to loosen or remove any hydraulic fitting or line, be sure to relieve all hydraulic pressure by shutting off the Motor, and moving the valve control handle back and forth several times until no cylinder movement is visible.
