About Your Log Splitter - North Star M110800F.4 Owner's Manual

This log splitter is a machine designed to split wood logs using a hydraulically powered moving wedge.
The log splitter's gasoline engine is used to pressurize the hydraulic system.
This log splitter is designed to split logs lengthwise with the grain only.
This log splitter model is capable of splitting logs up to 25̎ long and 16̎ in diameter.
Your splitter can be used in either a vertical or horizontal splitting position:

When the splitter is set up to operate in the horizontal splitting position, a log is placed on the
horizontal beam and the wedge moves horizontally into the end of the log to split it.

When the splitter is set up to operate in the vertical splitting position, the log is placed on the
endplate, upright on its end, and the wedge moves down into the top of the log to split it.
The horizontal splitting position is used for lighter logs that can be easily loaded onto the beam. The
vertical splitting position is used for heavier logs that are difficult to load onto the beam.
The technical specifications for your log splitter are provided in the Specifications section of this
manual.
This log splitter uses a high-pressure hydraulic system to generate a very strong splitting
force.
Read the manual completely before using the machine to understand how to safely operate
