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.
Trigger type lock-out device is adopted to avoid accidental Hydraulic Control Lever
pushdown. To operate the Hydraulic Control Lever, draw the Trigger backward with the
index finger before push the Hydraulic Control Lever forward.
Never force the log splitter for more than 5 seconds by keeping pressure
on it to split excessively hard wood.
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 90oto 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.

9
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.
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 fly up and hit
you.
FREEING A JAMMED LOG
zRelease both controls.
zAfter the log pusher moves back
and completely stops at its
starting position, insert a wedge
wood under the jammed log.
zStart the log splitter to push the
wedge wood to go completely
under the jammed one.
zRepeat above procedure with
sharper slope wedge woods until
the log is completely freed.
Do not try to knock the jammed
log off. Knocking about will
damage the machine or may
launch the log and cause
accident.

10
REPLACING HYDRAULIC OIL
Replace the Hydraulic oil in the log splitter after
every 150 hours of use. Take following steps to
replace it.
zMake sure all moving parts stops and the log
splitter is unplugged.
zUnscrew Oil Drain Bolt with Dipstick to remove
it.
zTurn the log splitter on the Support Leg side
over an 4 liters capacity container to drain the
hydraulic oil off.
zTurn the log splitter on the the motor side.
zRefill fresh hydraulic oil at the volume as per the
hydraulic oil capacity of a particular model
indicated in above specifications table.
zClean the surface of Dipstick on the Oil Drain
Bolt and put it back into the oil tank while keep
the log splitter vertically.
zMake sure the level of the refilled oil is just
between 2 grooves around the Dipstick.
zClean the Oil Drain Bolt before thread them
back. Make sure they are tightened to avoid
leakage before place the log splitter horizontally.
Periodically check oil level to ensure it is
between 2 grooves around the Dipstick. Upon
Lower oil level, oil refilling is required.
Following hydraulic oils or equivalent are recommend for the log splitter’s hydraulic
transmission system:
