SECTION 2: Safe Operating Instructions
NOTE: This machine is only intended for homeowners to split firewood as detailed in instructions, not for any other
purpose.
Danger This machine was built to be operated according to the safety instructions in this manual. As with any type
of power equipment, carelessness or error on the part of operator could endanger the personal safety and/or property
of yourself and others. It can result in serious injury or death, such as amputating hands or feet, throwing objects and
other unforeseeable damage. Read and follow all instructions before initial operation. The manufacturer isn’t liable for
any damages by disregard of the instructions.
1. Assembling your log splitter
Cut and remove straps bound to the carton and
unpack the carton.
Remove the loose parts included with unit (i.e.,
operator’s manual, accessories, etc.).
Set the foams aside.
Put the machine on a sturdy level surface and assemble the long
frames by two persons.
1) Put on the machine on a sturdy level surface, pull out the
towing handle and long front frame, fix them tightly.
(Fig. 1)
2) One person takes care of the machine to avoid falling down
during another person assemble the frames.
3) Screw on the two long wheel frames, and assemble the
wheel axis. Then fix the two wheels. (Fig. 2)
4) Move the machine down by two persons.
Fix the cylinder.
1) Release the band to the hydraulic hoses.
2) Loosen the cylinder fixing knob, push the cylinder
backward. (Fig. 3)
3) Screw on the two inner hex screws. (Fig. 3)
4) Tighten the cylinder fixing knob again
Connect the safe guard and the control handle bars (Fig.4)
Fill the tank with universal hydraulic oil (32W AW
hydraulic fluid). (Fig. 5)
7
1) Disconnect the dipstick.
2) Fill the tank at least the range marked on the dipstick.
If the tank permits, more oil added will do good to the
hydraulic system for better operation
3) After filling, insert the dipstick and tighten.
4) Operate the unit fully extended for several times to repel
out the air in the tank.

b) If you notice transport damage while unpacking, notify your supplier immediately. Don’t operate the machine.
c) Read, understand and follow all safety instructions in this manual and labels on the equipment carefully.
d) Keep the manual in a safe place for future and regular reference.
e) Ensure the machine is disconnected from power supply while assembling.
2. Preparation before operating
Put the machine on the sturdy level surface, and fix the machine to the ground before operating better.
Always block the wheels to prevent movement of the log splitter while in operation
Oil the wedge and upper side of the tank, which would make your operating more smoothly.
Check all nuts, bolts and hydraulic fittings are tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
Make sure your outlet, mains voltage and frequency match the data stated on the model plate (or “Technical
specifications” in this manual
The power supply for this splitter must have the protection device of under-voltage, over-voltage, and circuit
breaker with a residual current device (RCD) which maximum residual current rated at 0.03A.
Check the switch, power cable and plug are not damaged (no cracks, etc.) to exclude the risk of electric shock
and circuit short.
Check all safe devices to be sure they are in the proper position.
Wear non-slip safety shoes, safety goggles, safety gloves and suitable work clothing. Never wear jewelry,
necktie and other loose clothing.
Logs should be cut with square ends and permissible dimensions in advance. Uneven log (e.g. knotted, curved,
etc) should not be cut.
NOTE:
a) Make sure the power cable is unplugged while adjusting.
b) After adjusting, take away the accessories on or around the unit before switching on.
c) Ensure the motor properly earthed or apply protection device.
d) Use only rubber-jacketed cable of sufficient lead cross section as extension cable. Never use an extension cord
longer than 25 feet. Cord gage must be 14 or lower
e) Keep away from inflammable liquids or gases before starting the machine.
f) Hydraulic oil is flammable and can explode. Always take a Class B fire extinguisher with you when operating this
log splitter in dry area as a precautionary measure against possible flying sparks.
g) Always check the oil level of the hydraulic reservoir before operation. Operating the log splitter without an
adequate oil supply will cause severe damage to the pump.
h) Keep handles free of oil, grease and resin.
i) Before starting work, hydraulic pipes and hoses shall be inspected and the stopping devices should be tested.

Plug the power cable and switch on.
Allow the motor to run no-loaded for a while, and then switch off.
Cool the machine for 15 minutes then switch on again to operate.
Adjust the control rod according to the logs length needed. Let the
wedge go forward, stop the ram where you needed, then
tighten the control knob again. (Fig. 6)
Load log between log cradles and on the tank.
Move both control handles down until the log is split. (Fig. 7)
Release any control handle to stop the ram extending.
Release both control handles to retract the ram for loading next log.
After log splitting, switch off and unplug the power cable.

c) Allow only responsible adults who have read and understood the manual to operate this machine.
d) Be familiar with all controls and proper operation. Know how to stop the machine quickly in the event of an
emergency.
e) Don’t operate the machine while under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication.
f) Only a single operator is allowed to load and operate this log splitter. Keep bystanders, helpers, pets and
children a sufficient distance to the machine.
g) Only use your hands to operate the control handle and switch. Arms, feet, knees, rope, heavy objects and
extension device are not allowed.
h) Never put any part of your body between the log cradle and the wedge.
i) Don’t step over the splitter when the motor is running.
j) Always split log along its grain. If across the grain, some types of wood may burst or fly out resulting in injury.
k) If you experienced problems splitting especially hard wood, don’t keep pushing on the handles. Release both
control handles at once, the ram will return. If keep pushing, the ram will fail to retract. If this occurs, turn off the
motor and on again to continue operation.
l) If the log is clipped on the wedge, release both hands, switch off and unplug the power cable immediately. Knock
off the log with a hammer slightly (not with your hands).
m) Never attempt to split more than one log at a time unless the ram has fully extended and a second log is needed
to complete the separation of the first log. Never attempt to split one log on top of another.
n) Regularly clear the split wood to keep work area tidy for firm footing.
o) Periodically check that all nuts, bolts, screws, hydraulic fittings and hose clamps are tightened.
p) Never operate your splitter on wet, muddy or icy surface. Safe footing is essential in preventing accidents.
q) Never leave the machine unattended with the motor running.
r) Never use this machine in damp or rainy environment to avoid electric shock or short circuit.
s) Operate log splitter in proper lighting.
t) Never tamper with the motor to run it at excessive speeds. The maximum motor speed is preset by the
manufacturer and is within safety limits.
u) Switch off and unplug power cable quickly when the machine is out of order. For example: the noises becoming
louder and the wedge running erratic indicate there’s a shortage of hydraulic oil in tank for you to add hydraulic
fluid.
v) Don’t pull on power supply cable to unplug.
4. Transportation
Hold the towing handle to move about slowly.
If take the unit for a long distance, please recover the machine as you had unpacked it from the carton.
NOTE:
a) Never move this machine while the motor is running.
b) Be extra cautious when moving this machine on rugged and rough terrain.
c) Be careful to keep upright, not to be tipped or crashed during transportation
d) Never allow anyone to ride on the machine while moving.
5. Maintenance and repair
• Refer to the Components drawing and parts list should it become necessary to disassemble the unit for repair or
replacement of parts.
NOTE:
a) Ensure the power cable is unplugged while performing any maintenance and repair.
b) The hydraulic system is preset at the factory. Don’t adjust the valve.
c) Never alter this machine in any manner under any circumstances. Any alteration circumventing the design
capabilities and capacities of this machine could result in serious injury and will void the warranty.
d) Replace all damaged and worn parts immediately with original equipment manufacturer’s parts only.
e) Wipe unit with an oiled rag to prevent rust. If the wedge becomes dull or nicked, it can be sharpened. Wear
safety gloves while handling the wedge.
f) Never check for leaks of hydraulic fluid with your hand. Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force
to penetrate skin causing serious personal injury or even death. Leaks can be detected by passing a piece of
cardboard over the suspected leak and looking for discoloration.
g) Never loosen or remove hydraulic fittings or the cap of hydraulic tank while the log splitter is running.
h) If the motor is overload for a long time, the thermal protector in it which operating temperature is 130C will
disconnect the power of motor. Switch off and unplug the power cable, cool down the motor for half an hour and
it will connect again for continual operation. If not, it’s necessary for you to call your dealer for customer support.

i) The troubles of hydraulic system and motor other than described above should only be handled by qualified
specialists.
j) Periodically check the oil level in the hydraulic reservoir. If there’s a slow or erratic ram running during operation,
it indicates the problem of oil shortage or excessive air in the reservoir. To solve this problem, please refer to the
following Term 5. l).
k) After each season use, check if the hydraulic oil need to change. Generally, this log splitter has oil filter in the
tank, so just change the oil when there’s abnormal louder noise or ram block during operation. To solve this
problem, please refer to the following Term 5. l).
l) Directions: how to changing hydraulic oil, fill the hydraulic reservoir and repel the excessive air in the
reservoir. (Fig. 8)
Note: The hydraulic tank is shipped with 32 W AW hydraulic fluid in hydraulic cylinder. If it’s difficult to obtain, Dextron
automatic transmission fluid can be substituted. You must drain the system. Don’t mix Dextron automatic
transmission fluid and 32 W hydraulic fluid. Use only clean oil and take care to prevent dirt from entering the hydraulic
reservoir.
6. Storage
NOTE:
a) Store this unit switched off and unplugged.
b) Allow machine to cool 5 minutes after every use before storing.

• If you want to change the oil, please drain the tank firstly. Put
some container under the front of the tank, raise the wheels
5cm off the ground on blocks.
• Disconnect the bolt under the front of the tank to drain the
tank.
• Deposit the hydraulic fluid for refilling or change the new oil
(32W AW hydraulic fluid).
• After draining, screw on the bolt tightly.
• Refill the tank at least within the range marked on the
dipstick. If the tank permits, more oil added will do good to the
hydraulic system for better operation
• After refilling, start the motor and operate the unit fully
extended for several times to repel out the air in the reservoir.
• When make sure the oil level is OK and no excessive air in
the tank, insert and tighten the dipstick.
