NEVER use this log splitter for any other purposes than splitting wood. It is designed for this use only. Any other use
can cause serious injury or death.
BEFORE operating this log splitter, make sure that you wear safety gear such as goggles or safety glasses, steel toed
shoes and tight fitting gloves (without loose cuffs or draw strings). Always wear a protective hearing device when oper-
ating this log splitter.
Make sure that all safety warning decals are in good condition and readable. Always replace missing or defaced
decals. Contact Woods at 1-800-319-6637 for replacement decals.
Both ends of the log should be cut as square as possible to prevent the log from riding out of the splitter during opera-
tion. Do not split logs greater than 24-1/2” in length.
ONLY operate the log splitter from the operator zone as shown in the dia-
gram. The operator has the safest and most efficient access to the control
valve and the beam in this location. Operating the log splitter in another
location can result in serious injury or death.
• ALWAYS block the wheels to prevent movement of the log splitter
while in operation.
• KNOW how to stop the log splitter and disengage the controls before
operating it.
• NEVER place hands or feet between the log and splitting wedge
during forward or reverse strokes as this could result in serious injury
or death.
• NEVER straddle or step over the log splitter during operation.
• NEVER reach or bend over the log splitter to pick up a log.
• NEVER split more than one log at a time.
• NEVER try to cross split a log.
• NEVER attempt to load the log splitter when the ram or wedge is in
motion.
• NEVER use your foot, a rope, or any extension device to operate the control lever on the valve. Only use hand.
• NEVER move the log splitter while the engine is running. Shut off the engine if you are leaving the log splitter, even
for a short period of time.
• NEVER touch the muffler and hot areas of the engine during operation. Wait until the engine cools down.
• IMPORTANT: Holding the valve in the “actuate” position at the end of the stroke may damage the log splitter.
• ALWAYS use extra care when splitting logs with unsquare ends.
• NEVER operate the log splitter with the incorrect valve spool. Please contact 1-800-319-6637 if you need assis-
tance determining spool.
SAFETY DECALS
PREPARATION OF THE LOG

Page 6
• NEVER operate your log splitter when it is in poor mechanical condition or in need of repair.
• NEVER alter your log splitter in any manner. Such alterations may cause your log splitter to be unsafe and will void
the warranty.
• ALWAYS perform all recommended maintenance procedures before using your log splitter.
• ALWAYS periodically check that all nuts, bolts, screws, hydraulic fittings and hose clamps are tight.
• ALWAYS replace all damaged or worn parts immediately.
• ALWAYS be sure that all replacement parts meet manufacturer’s specifications.
The hydraulic system of your log splitter requires careful inspection along with the mechanical parts. Be sure to replace
frayed, kinked, cracked or otherwise damaged hydraulic hoses or hydraulic components.
• NEVER check for leaks of hydraulic fluid with your hand. Fluid escaping from a small hole can be almost invisible.
Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin causing SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH.
Leaks can be safely detected by passing a piece of cardboard over the suspected leak and looking for discolor-
ation.
• ALWAYS seek professional medical attention immediately if injured by escaping hydraulic fluid. Serious infection or
reaction can develop if proper medical treatment is not administered immediately.
• NEVER adjust the hydraulic valve. The pressure relief valve on your log splitter is preset at the factory. Only a qual-
ified service technician should perform this adjustment.
• ALWAYS be sure to relieve all pressure by shutting off the engine and moving the valve control handle back and
forth should it become necessary to loosen or remove any hydraulic fitting.
• NEVER operate your log splitter near a flame or spark, or smoke during operation. Hydraulic oil is flammable and
can explode.
• NEVER move your log splitter without tractor or adequate help.
• NEVER carry cargo or wood on your log splitter.
• NEVER allow anyone to sit or ride on your log splitter or tractor.
• NEVER exceed weight capacity of tractor.
• ALWAYS confirm 3 point pins are secure with lynch pins in place before lifting or transporting log splitter.
• ALWAYS have your log splitter attached to 3-point hitch before operating it.
• ALWAYS allow for added length of your log splitter when turning, crossing intersections and in all transporting situ-
ations.
• ALWAYS attach to Category I or II 3-point hitch only.
• ALWAYS replace attachment pins or 3-point hitch components if damaged or excessively worn.
• ALWAYS have beam pinned down for transport.

IMPORTANT: The tractor must be able to handle Category I or Category II three-point hitch implements and be
equipped with a four-way valve (for double-acting cylinders) and hydraulic outlets.
IMPORTANT: This splitter comes equipped with a hydraulic valve compatible with open center hydraulic systems.
Check the hydraulic system on your tractor. For closed center systems, you will need to install the
closed center spool conversion kit 582328 provided with the splitter. Instructions are included in the kit
for converting the valve from open center to closed center.
IMPORTANT: Consult your tractor owner’s manual for instructions on tractor operations, auxiliary hydraulics, return
flow hookups and safety.
NOTE: Hoses to the tractor are not included. Specifications of the hoses and fittings supplied by the owner should
be within recommended ranges of the tractor operating pressure.
1. Back tractor into position and slide the lift arms over the draw pins on the frame assembly (item 2 from Frame
Assembly Breakdown, pg 12). Secure the tractor lift arms to the splitter frame draw pins (S07020800) using lynch
pins (not provided). Attach the top link from the tractor to the mast plates on the top of the splitter frame and secure
with top link pin (S071022WC) and lynch pin (S07090400).
2. Locate the pressure and return ports on the rear of the tractor.
3. Connect the hoses from the tractor to the log splitter with the flow from the pressure port entering on the “IN” side
of the valve. The return flow to the tractor should attach to the “OUT” side of the valve.
4. After connecting the hoses, activate the tractor auxiliary valve to provide hydraulic power to the splitter. If the
hydraulic system is operating normally, secure tractor auxiliary valve in the “ON” position. Next, activate the log
splitter valve lever and confirm the wedge moves in the direction specified in the instructions on the cylinder. If the
wedge is not moving in correct direction, the tractor auxiliary valve can be reversed or the hoses can be reversed in
the tractor ports.
5. The tractor hydraulic system must be capable of delivering 6 to 20 GPM of oil at 1500 to 2500 PSI for adequate
splitting force and speed. The tractor should have a hydraulic oil cooling system to allow semi-continuous
operation.
IMPORTANT: If the tractor engine pulls down or if the hydraulic oil is heard going over relief, return the lever to the neu-
tral position and check all hoses, fittings, and connections. If the splitter is used with the flow reversed
(wedge traveling opposite the direction of the valve handle) the relief valve will not work and could result
in damage to the tractor or the log splitter.
6. Using the tractor three-point hitch, raise the log splitter to a convenient height and level with the top link. The log
splitter may be operated in either the horizontal and vertical position. See illustration on page 5.
7. To deploy rear stand:
a) At rear work extension stand, remove pivot lock pin and pivot stand down to the vertical position. Reinstall pivot
lock pin.
b) Remove extension lock pin and slide lower leg of stand down until it touches the ground. Reinstall lock pin in
one of the three holes that best lines up with inner stand hole.
WARNING: Read and thoroughly understand all instructions in this manual and on safety decals
before assembling or operating this log splitter. Failure to do so may cause serious injury or
death. Do not allow anyone to operate this log splitter who has not read this manual. As with all
power equipment, a log splitter can be dangerous if assembled or used improperly. Do not
operate this log splitter if you have any questions concerning safe operation. To get answers to
any questions, call our technical support department at 1-800-319-6637.

Page 11
WARNING: See safety information related to operation of the log splitter on page 5 of this manual.
Make sure that you have the recommended personal protective equipment described
on page 5.
1. Set up tractor in a clear level area. Set the tractor parking brake and lower splitter to the ground.
2. Adjust top link to level the beam and lower and adjust rear stand to provide additional stability. The splitter must
always remain securely attached to the tractor’s three point hitch while in use.
HORIZONTAL OPERATION
■ Place a log on the beam against the foot plate. Make sure the log is securely on the foot plate and up
against the beam.
VERTICAL OPERATION
■ Raise tractor 3 point to allow room for the beam to pivot to vertical and lower rear stand. Remove the square
pin from the beam located near the front end of the beam and store second pin in frame. Carefully tilt the beam
up until the foot plate is sitting squarely on the ground and the log splitter is stable. Reinstall the square pin in the
vertical lock position by reinserting it in the hole through the frame and bean near the pivot point of the splitter.
Place the log on the foot plate up against the beam. When the beam is returned to the horizontal position, remove
the square pin from the pivot point of the splitter and make sure the square pin is secured in lock position near the
front of the beam.
3. Depress and hold the valve handle so that the cylinder will drive the wedge into the log. Extend the cylinder until
the log splits or to the end of its stroke. If the log has not completely split after the cylinder has reached the end of
its extension, retract the cylinder.
WARNING: If at any time during operation the wedge moves without valve actuation, cease use of
splitter and contact our technical service department at 1-800-319-6637.
IMPORTANT: Holding the valve in the “actuate” position at the end of the stroke may damage the pump. Always use
extra care when splitting logs with unsquare ends.
IMPORTANT: To extend the life of the hydraulic cylinder, avoid “bottoming out” wedge plate to the foot piece. To con-
form with industry safety recommendations, the wedge stops at 1 inch from the foot plate.
1. If the wedge becomes dull or nicked, it can be removed and sharpened. With beam in horizontal position, remove
the 1/2” diameter bolt that connects the wedge to the cylinder. The hose from the valve may need to be removed.
Carefully lift the cylinder to allow the wedge to be removed. The wedge can now be lifted off and sharpened.
2. See also Repair and Maintenance Safety on page 6 of this manual.
3. All replacement parts must meet manufacturer’s specifications.
WARNING: See safety information related to maintenance & safety of this log splitter on page 6 of
this manual.

s’avérer de caractère général, les conditions n’étant
pas toujours connues ou quantifiables. Il est conseillé à
l’opérateur de se baser sur son expérience personnelle
et ces instructions pour déterminer les méthodes qui
conviennent le mieux à sa situation.
Les illustrations et données utilisées dans ce manuel
étaient valables au moment de l’impression, mais la
machine peut avoir subi des modifications mineures en
phase finale de production. Si nécessaire, nous nous
réservons le droit de modifier la conception et la fabri-
cation des machines sans fournir de préavis.
Ce manuel contient certaines informations faisant une
différence entre le côté droit et le côté gauche. Le côté
est déterminé en se tenant derrière l’équipement et en
faisant face au déplacement en marche avant.

Ne JAMAIS utiliser cette fendeuse de bûches à d’autres fins que celle de fendre du bois. Elle est uniquement conçue à cet
effet. Toute autre utilisation peut causer des blessures graves voire mortelles.
AVANT d’utiliser cette fendeuse de bûches, veiller à porter l’équipement de protection adéquat, notamment des lunettes de
protection, des chaussures à embout en acier et des gants bien ajustés (qui ne soient pas lâches aux poignets ni avec un cor-
don de serrage). Toujours porter un dispositif de protection auditive lors de l’utilisation de cette fendeuse de bûches.
Vérifier que tous les autocollants d’avertissement de sécurité sont en bon état et lisibles. Toujours remplacer les autocollants
manquants ou abimés. Contacter Woods au [phone] pour obtenir des autocollants de rechange.
Les deux extrémités de la bûche doivent être coupées aussi droit que possible
pour éviter que la bûche ne sorte de la fendeuse lors de son utilisation. Ne pas
fendre des bûches d’une longueur supérieure à 62.25 cm.
Utiliser UNIQUEMENT la fendeuse de bûches depuis la zone de l’opérateur,
comme illustré sur le schéma. Cette zone permet à l’opérateur d’accéder au
distributeur de commande et au plateau de la manière la plus sûre et la plus
efficace. L’utilisation de la fendeuse de bûches depuis tout autre emplacement
peut causer des blessures graves voire mortelles.
•TOUJOURS bloquer les roues afin d’éviter tout déplacement de la fen-
deuse de bûches pendant son fonctionnement.
•SAVOIR comment arrêter la fendeuse de bûches et désengager les com-
mandes avant de la faire fonctionner.
•NE JAMAIS placer mains ou pieds entre la bûche et le coin de fendage lors des mouvements de marche avant ou
marche arrière, car cela pourrait entraîner des blessures graves voire mortelles.
•NE JAMAIS enfourcher ou enjamber la fendeuse de bûches pendant qu’elle fonctionne.
•NE JAMAIS tendre le bras ou se pencher par-dessus la fendeuse pour attraper une bûche.
•NE JAMAIS tenter de fendre deux bûches l’une au-dessus de l’autre.
•NE JAMAIS tenter de fendre une bûche en travers.
•NE JAMAIS tenter de charger la fendeuse quand le vérin ou le coin est en mouvement.
• NE JAMAIS utiliser le pied, une corde ou un dispositif de rallonge pour actionner le levier de commande du distributeur.
Ne se servir que de sa main.
•NE JAMAIS déplacer la fendeuse quand le moteur est en marche. Arrêter le moteur dès que la fendeuse de bûches est
laissée sans surveillance, ne serait-ce que pour quelques instants.
• NE JAMAIS toucher le silencieux ou les zones très chaudes du moteur pendant le fonctionnement. Attendre que le
moteur refroidisse.
•IMPORTANT : maintenir le distributeur en position activée en fin de course peut endommager la fendeuse de bûches.
•TOUJOURS faire très attention en fendant des bûches dont les extrémités ne sont pas droites.
• NE JAMAIS utiliser la fendeuse de bûches si le tiroir du distributeur n’est pas conforme. Pour savoir quel tiroir utiliser,
appeler le 1-800-319-6637.

•NEJAMAISutiliser la fendeuse si elle est en mauvais état mécanique ou doit être réparée.
• NE JAMAIS modifier la fendeuse de bûches en aucune façon. De telles modifications peuvent rendre la fendeuse de
bûches dangereuse et annulent la garantie.
• TOUJOURS effectuer la totalité des procédures d’entretien recommandées avant d’utiliser la fendeuse de bûches.
• TOUJOURS vérifier régulièrement que l’ensemble des écrous, boulons, vis, raccords hydrauliques et colliers de flexibles
sont bien serrés.
• TOUJOURS remplacer immédiatement toutes les pièces endommagées ou usées.
• TOUJOURS s’assurer que toutes les pièces de rechange sont conformes aux spécifications du fabricant.
Il convient d’inspecter soigneusement le circuit hydraulique ainsi que les pièces mécaniques de la fendeuse. Veiller à rempla-
cer les flexibles ou composants hydrauliques élimés, tordus, fissurés ou autrement endommagés.
• NE JAMAIS rechercher de fuites de fluide hydraulique avec la main. Un échappement de fluide par un petit trou peut être
presque invisible. Le fluide sous pression peut avoir suffisamment de force pour pénétrer sous la peau et causer des
BLESSURES GRAVES ou MORTELLES. Pour détecter les fuites en toute sécurité, passer un morceau de carton sur
l’emplacement suspecté de la fuite et observer toute décoloration.
• TOUJOURS consulter immédiatement un médecin en cas de blessure due à un échappement de fluide hydraulique. En
l’absence de traitement immédiat, une réaction ou une infection grave peut se produire.
• NE JAMAIS ajuster le distributeur hydraulique. La soupape de surpression de la fendeuse est préréglée à l’usine. Seul un
technicien d’entretien qualifié doit effectuer ce réglage.
• TOUJOURS veiller à dissiper complètement la pression en arrêtant le moteur et en actionnant le levier de commande du
distributeur d’avant en arrière s’il s’avère nécessaire de desserrer ou de déposer un raccord hydraulique.
•NE JAMAIS utiliser la fendeuse à proximité d’une flamme ou d’étincelles et ne pas fumer pendant son fonctionnement.
L’huile hydraulique est inflammable et peut exploser.
• NE JAMAIS déplacer la fendeuse de bûches sans tracteur ou aide adéquate.
• NE JAMAIS porter une charge ou du bois sur la fendeuse.
• NE JAMAIS laisser quelqu’un s'asseoir ou monter sur votre tracteur.
• NE JAMAIS dépasser la capacité de poids du tracteur.
• TOUJOURS vérifier que les axes 3 points sont fixés avec des goupilles d’arrêt avant de soulever ou de transporter la fen-
deuse de bûches.
• TOUJOURS raccorder la fendeuse de bûches à l’attelage 3 points avant de l’utiliser.
• TOUJOURS tenir compte de la longueur supplémentaire de la fendeuse lors des virages, des intersections et dans toutes
les situations de transport.
• TOUJOURS raccorder la fendeuse à un attelage 3 points de catégorie I ou II uniquement.
• TOUJOURS remplacer les axes ou autres composants de l’attelage 3 points s’ils sont endommagés ou trop usés.
• TOUJOURS assujettir le plateau pour le transport.
