KEEP BYSTANDERS AWAY
Allow only one person to load and operate the log splitter. Always keep bystanders, including visitors, children and pets away from the work area, especially when the log splitter is under operation. Only the operator should stand near the machine and only within the safe operating area prescribed in this manual. Never use another person to help you with freeing a jammed log. No one under the age of 16 should be allowed to operate the log splitter. Any individual under the age of 18 should have the necessary training and skills to perform the functions properly and safely and should always be under the supervision of an adult.
INSPECT YOUR LOG
Never attempt to split logs containing nails, wire or debris. Always make sure that 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. Branches must be cut o ush with the trunk.
DON’T OVERREACH
Keep a proper footing and balance at all times. Never stand on the log splitter. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted. Do not store anything above or near the log splitter where anyone might stand on the tool to reach it.
AVOID INJURY FROM UNEXPECTED ACCIDENT
Do not straddle or reach across the splitting area when operating the log splitter. Never pile logs to be split in a manner that will cause you to reach across the log splitter. Only use your hands to operate the control levers. Never use your foot, knee, a rope, or any other extension device. Always pay full attention to the movement of the wedge ram. Never attempt to load your log splitter while the ram is in motion. Keep hands out of the way of all moving parts. Never try to split two logs. One of them may y up and hit you.
PROTECT YOUR HANDS
When the ram of the log splitter is in the return mode, keep your hands o the machine – the log splitter is designed to automatically stop when the cylinder is fully retracted. Keep your hands away from splits and cracks which open in the log. They may close suddenly and crush or injure your hands. Do not remove jammed logs with your hands.
INCORRECT USE
The log splitter will do a better and safer job at its designed rate. Don’t use the log splitter for a purpose for which it was not intended. Do not, under any circumstances, alter your log splitter. This equipment was designed and engineered to be used in accordance with the operating instructions. Altering the equipment, or using the equipment in such a way as to circumvent its design capabilities and capacities, could result in serious or fatal injury and will void the warranty. Never try to split logs larger than those indicated in the specications table. This could be dangerous and may damage the machine.
NEVER LEAVE THE LOG SPLITTER RUNNING UNATTENDED
Don’t leave the tool until it has come to a complete stop.
DISCONNECT POWER
Unplug the log splitter when not in use, before making adjustments, changing parts, cleaning, or working on the log splitter. Consult the technical manual before servicing.

Original Instructions Version April 13
LOG SPLITTER OPERATION
1. Plan your work site. Work safely and save eort by planning your work before
hand. Have your logs positioned where they can be easily reached. Have a site located to stack the split wood or load it onto a nearby truck or other carrier.
2. Prepare the logs for splitting. This splitter accommodates logs up to 104cm in length. When cutting up limbs and large sections, do not cut sections any longer than 100cm. The 3 support table positions are for splitting logs up to 52cm, 78cm 104cm in length. Insert the support table in the position nearest to the log length, and secure the support table with the locking hook.
Do not attempt to split seasoned logs. Green logs split much more easily, and will not put undue pressure on the splitter. Seasoned logs can also split violently, which can be dangerous to the operator.
3. Applying a thin coat of grease to the surfaces of the ram before operation will
lengthen the durability of the ram.
4. Route the power cord. Route the cord from the power source to the splitter in a way that safeguards against tripping on the cord, or the cord becoming damaged during the work session. Protect the power cord from impacts, pulling or corrosive materials.
5. Open the Air Bleed. Loosen the oil tank cover two turns whenever the splitter is being used. Retighten this cover when you nish.
6. Turn on the motor using the green button on the motor control panel. To stop the motor or in an emergency press the red button.
7. While operating under extremely low temperature, keep the log splitter running under no load for 15 minutes to preheat the hydraulic oil.
8. Before initial operation, check to be sure the two-handed operation is properly functioning by following these steps:
(1) Lower both control levers, splitting wedge lowers to approx 5cm above the highest table position. (2) Release either of the levers, splitting wedge should remain in the original position. (3) Release both levers, the ram should rise to the highest position automatically.
9. To set the wedge ram stroke, take the following steps:
(1) Move the splitting wedge to desired position. The upper position of the ram wedge travel should be about 3~5cm over the logs to be split. (2) Release one control lever or switch o the motor (3) Release the Setscrew (A) with L key. Raise Adjusting Rod (B) until Adjusting Rod (B) starts to be stopped by the spring inside. Tighten the Setscrew (A). (4) Release both control levers or switch on motor (5) Check upper position of splitting wedge.

Original Instructions Version April 13
10. Place log onto splitter. Place the log onto the support table vertically and sitting at on the support table. Be sure the wedge and support table will contact the log squarely on the ends. Never attempt to split a log at an angle.
Split log in the direction of its growing grain. Do not place log across the log splitter for splitting. It may be dangerous and may seriously damage the machine.
11. Adjust the Log Holders (A) according to the diameter of the log to obtain
most comfortable Control Levers angle.
12. Hold the log with the clamping brackets. Lower levers to start the splitting. Releasing either lever stops the motion of the splitting wedge. Releasing both handles returns the splitting wedge to the upper position.
13. Stack as you work. This will provide a safer work area, by keeping it uncluttered, and avoid the danger of tripping, or damaging the power cord.
4 WAY SPLITTING CROSS
Mount the 4 way splitting cross over the splitting wedge and secure in place using the xing screw, ensuring that it is rmly secured.
The 4-way splitting cross is only to be used on freshly cut wood and not seasoned wood as this type of wood can splinter and put undue strain on the log splitter.
Accumulated split wood and wood chips can create a hazardous work environment. Never continue to work in a cluttered work area which may cause you to slip, trip or fall.
REPLACING HYDRAULIC OIL
The hydraulic system is a closed system with oil tank, oil pump and control valve. Check oil level regularly with dipstick. Low oil level can damage the oil pump. Oil Level should measure approx. 1 ~ 2 cm lower than the upper surface of the oil tank. The oil should be completely changed once a year.
-Make sure moving parts stop and the log splitter is unplugged.
-Make sure that no dirt or debris nds its way into the oil tank
-Collect used oil and responsibly recycle.
-Following an oil change, activate the log splitter a few times without splitting
Hydraulic oil recommended for the log splitter’s hydraulic system:
HLP 22
Use a drain pan to aid in the removal of all used oil and particles. Remove oil drain plug to drain oil from the hydraulic transmission system. Examine oil for metal chips as a precaution to future problems.
After oil has been completely drained from the Oil ller, reinstall drain plug.
Fill the hydraulic transmission system with recommended oil through the ller plug opening, to the correct level.
10
Original Instructions Version April 13
Read dipstick to determine the maximum and minimum oil level.
To check the hydraulic oil, unscrew the oil ller plug and wipe the dip stick rod with a clean cloth. Next insert the dip stick into oil tank without screwing it into the tank. The oil should be between the markings Min and Max. Top up the oil if necessary.
Low oil can damage the oil pump. Overlling can result in excessive temperature in the hydraulic transmission system.
SHARPENING WEDGE
This log splitter is equipped with a reinforced splitting wedge with a specially treated blade. After long periods of operation, and when required; sharpen the wedge using a ne-toothed le removing any burrs or at spots on the edge.
