•
DRUGS, ALCOHOL AND MEDICATION
•AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS
•INSPECT YOUR LOG SPLITTER
•DRESS PROPERLY
•PROTECT YOUR EYES AND FACE
Read and understand the owner's manual and labels affixed to
the log splitter. Learn its application and limitations as well as the
specic potential hazards peculiar to it.
Do not operate the log splitter while under the inuence of drugs,
alcohol, or any medication that could affect your ability to use it
properly.
Put the log splitter on a 60 - 75cm high, stable, at, and level work
bench where there is plenty of room for handling, and help the
operator stay altert. Bolt the log splitter to the work surface if it
tends to slip, walk, or slide.
Keep your work area clean and well lighted. Cluttered areas
invites injuries.
Do not use the log splitter in wet or damp areas or expose it to
rain.
Do not use it in areas where fumes from paint, solvents or
ammable liquids pose a potential hazard.
Check your log splitter before turning it on. Keep guards in place
and in working order. Form a habit of checking to see that keys
and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool area before turning
it on. Replace damaged, missing or failed parts before using it.
Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry (rings,
wrist watches). They can be caught in moving parts.
Protective electrically non conductive gloves and non-skid
footwear are recommended when working. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair, preventing it from get caught in
machinery.
Any log splitter may throw foreign objects into the eyes. This can
cause permanent eye damage. Always wear safety goggles.
Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are
not safety glasses.
Do not put the log splitter on the ground for operations. This is
awkward operating position that the operator has to bring his face
close to the machine, and thus risks being struck by wood chips
or debris.

•EXTENSION CORDS
•AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK
•KEEP VISITORS AND CHILDREN AWAY
•INSPECT YOUR LOG
•DON'T OVERREACH
•AVOID INJURY FROM UNEXPECTED ACCIDENT
Improper use of extension cords may cause inefcient operation
of the log splitter which can result in overheating. Be sure the
extension cord is no longer than 10m and its section is no less
than 2.5mm² to allow sufcient current ow to the motor.
Avoid use of free and inadequately insulated connections.
Connections must be made with protected material suitable for
outdoor use.
Check that the electric circuit is adequately protected and that
it corresponds with the power, voltage and frequency of the
motor. Check that there is a ground connection, and a regulation
differential switch upstream.
Ground the log splitter. Prevent body contact with grounded
surfaces: pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.
Never open the pushbutton box on the motor. Should this be
necessary, contact a qualied electrician.
Mark sure your ngers do not touch the plug's metal prongs when
plugging or unplugging the log splitter.
The log splitter must be always operated by one person only.
Other people should keep a safe distance from the work area,
especially when the log splitter is under operations. Never use
another people to help you with freeing jammed log.
Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in logs to be split.
The ends of the logs must be cut square. Branches must be cut of
ush with the trunk.
Floor must not be slippery.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Never stand on log splitter. Serious injury could occur if the tool
is tipped or if the cutting tools is unintentionally contacted. Do not
store anything above or near the log splitter where anyone might
stand on the tool to reach them.
Always pay full attention to the movement of the log pusher.
Do not attempt to load the log on until the log pusher has stopped.
Keep hands out of the way of all moving parts.
•PROTECT YOUR HANDS
Keep you hands away from splits and cracks which open in the
log; They may close suddenly and crush or amputate your hands.
Do not remove jammed logs with you hands.

•DON'T FORCE TOOL
•NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED
•DISCONNECT POWER
•PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
•MAINTAIN YOUR LOG SPLITTER WITH CARE
•MAKE THE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF
•RECYCLING AND DISPOSAL
It will do a better and safer job at its design rate. Never try to split
logs larger than those indicated in the specifications table. This
could be dangerous and may damage the machine.
Don't use log splitter for a purpose for which it was not intended.
Don't leave tool until it has come to a complete stop.
Unplug when not in use, before making adjustments, changing
parts, cleaning, or working on the log splitter; Consult technical
manual before servicing.
Take used oil to an authorized collection point or follow the
stipulations in the country where the log splitter is used.
Do not discharge into drains, soil or water.
Keep the log splitter clean for best and safest performance.
Lock the shop. Disconnect master switches. Store the log splitter

APPLICATION CONDITIONS
SPECIFICATIONS
This log splitter is a home use model. It is designed for operating under ambient
temperatures between +5℃and 40℃and for installation at altitudes no more than 1000m
above M.S.L. The surrounding humidity should less than 50% at 40℃. It can be stored or
transported under ambient temperatures between -25℃and 55℃ .
* The diameter of the log is indicative - a small log can be difcult to split when it has knobs
or a particularly tough fiber. On the other hand, it may not be difficult to split logs with
regular bers even if its diameter exceeds the max. gure indicated above.

SET UP AND PREPARATION FOR OPERATION
1.Bolt the Support Leg to the Log Splitter, lift the log splitter by the handles at both ends and
place it on a 60-75cm high, stable, at and level work surface.
2.Familiarize yourself with the controls and features of this log splitter in the illustrations.
Before operating the log splitter, the Bleed Screw should be loosened by some rotations
until air can go in and out of the oil tank smoothly.
Air flow thru the Bleed Screw hole should be detectable during the log splitter is under
operations.
Before moving the log splitter, make sure the Bleed Screw is tightened to avoid oil leaking
from this point.

AFTER BEING DECOMPRESSED. SUCH CONTINUOUS AIR
COMPRESSION AND DECOMPRESSION WILL BLOW OUT THE
SEALS OF THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM AND CAUSE PERMANT
DAMAGE TO THE LOG SPLITTER.

17.Max Pressure Limiting Screw
DO NOT ADJUST
THE MAX PRESSURE
LIMITING SCREW !
Max pressure was set before
the log splitter ex work and the
max pressure limiting screw is
sealed with glue to ensure the
log splitter works under pressure
no more than 5 tons. The setting
was done by qualied mechanic
with professional instruments.
Unauthorized resetting will cause
the hydraulic pump fail to output
enough splitting pressure or
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY
AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE
MACHINE .

LOG SPLITTER OPERATION
This log splitter is equipped with"ZHB"control system that requires to be operated by both
hands of the user-Left hand controls the hydraulic control lever while right hand controls the
pushbutton switch. The log splitter will freeze upon absence of either hand. Only after both
hands release the controls, the log pusher starts to return backward to the starting position.
After this time interval, the oil under pressure will be overheated and the machine could
be damaged. For such extremely hard log, rotate it by 90o to see whether it can be split
in a different direction. In any case, if you are not able to split the log, this means that its
hardness exceeds the capacity of the machine and thus that log should be discarded to
protect the log splitter.
Never force the log splitter for more than 5 seconds by keeping pressure on it to
split excessively hard wood.
