Operation
!WARNING! Never force the log splitter for more than 5 seconds when
attempting to split excessively hard wood.
After 5 seconds, the oil under pressure will be overheated, and the machine could be damaged.
For such extremely hard logs, rotate the log by 90° to see whether it can be split in a different
direction. If you are not able to split the log, this means that its hardness exceeds the capacity
of the machine, and the log should be discarded to protect the log splitter.
The splitting force and speed are governed by a
2-stage control lever. Push the lever to setting I,
about half-way, for faster speed at less splitting force
to split softwood. Push the lever to setting II, all the
way, for maximum splitting force at slower speed
to split hardwood. Shift between stages by simply
raising and lowering the lever.
Break the log in the direction of its growing grain. Do not place the log across the log splitter
for splitting. It may be dangerous, and may seriously damage the machine. Do not attempt to
split 2 logs at the same time. One of them may fly up and hit the operator.
Always set logs firmly on the log retaining
plates and worktable. 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.
