OPERATION
Break log in the direction of its wood 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
1. Release both controls.
2. After the log pusher moves back and completely stops at its starting position,
insert a wedge wood under the jammed log.
3. Start the log splitter to push the wedge wood to go completely under the jammed
one.
4. Repeat above procedure with sharper slope wedge woods until the log is
completely free.
Do not try to knock the jammed log off.
Knocking will damaged the machine or may launch the log and cause
accident.
Replacing hydraulic oil
Replace the hydraulic oil in the log splitter after every 150 hours of use. Take
following steps to replace it.
1. Make sure all moving parts stops and the log splitter is unplugged.
2. Unscrew oil drain bolt with dipstick to remove it.
3. Turn the log splitter on the motor side over an 3 liters capacity container to drain
the hydraulic oil off.
4. Turn the log splitter on the support leg side.
5. Refill fresh hydraulic oil at the volume as per the hydraulic oil capacity of a
particular model indicated in the specifications table.
6. Clean the surface of dipstick on the oil drain bolt and put it back into the oil tank
while keep the log splitter vertically.
7. Make sure the level of the refilled oil is just between 2 grooves around the
dipstick.
8. Clean the oil drain bolt before thread them back. Make sure they are tightened to
avoid leakage before placing 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.
WARNING: Never mix oil with general waste! Used oil must be disposed of
according to current regulations in the country where the machine is used.
Sharpening the wedge
After using the log splitter for some time, sharpen the wedge of the log splitter using
a fine-toothed file and smooth any burrs or crushed area along the cutting edge.
