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.
65563UK00M100.indd 10 2019/8/30 11:38:43

11
Always set logs firmly on the log
retaining plates and work table.
Make sure logs will not twist, rock or
slip while being split. Do not force
the blade by splitting the log on the
upper part. This will break the blade
or damage the machine.
Do not try to knock the jammed log
off. Knocking about will damage the
machine or may launch the log and
cause accident.
·Release both controls.
·After the log pusher moves back
and completely stops at its
starting position, insert a wedge
wood under the jammed log.
·Start the log splitter to push the
wedge wood to go completely
under the jammed one.
·Repeat above procedure with
sharper slope wedge woods until
the log is completely freed.
Break 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.
Do not attempt to split 2 pieces of logs at the same time. One of them may y up and hit
you.

·Make sure all moving parts stops and the log
splitter is unplugged.
·Unscrew Oil Drain Bolt with Dipstick to remove
it.
·Turn the log splitter on the Support Leg side
over an 4 liters capacity container to drain the
hydraulic oil off.
·Turn the log splitter on the the motor side.
·Refill fresh hydraulic oil at the volume as per
the hydraulic oil capacity of a particular model
indicated in above specications table.
·Clean the surface of Dipstick on the Oil Drain
Bolt and put it back into the oil tank while keep
the log splitter vertically.
·Make sure the level of the refilled oil is just
between 2 grooves around the Dipstick.
·Clean the Oil Drain Bolt before thread them
back. Make sure they are tightened to avoid
leakage before place the log splitter horizontally.
Following hydraulic oils or equivalent are recommend for the log splitter's hydraulic
transmission system:
SHELL Tellus 22

BP Energol HLP-HM 22
After using the log splitters for some time, sharpen the wedge of the log splitter using a ne-
toothed le and smooth any burrs or crushed area along the cutting edge.
Periodically check oil level to ensure it is
between 2 grooves around the Dipstick. Upon
Lower oil level, oil relling is required.
