Page 3: Safety Instruction
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Read and understand the owner’s manual and labels affixed to the log splitter. Learn its application and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards. • Check your log splitter before use. Keep the guards in place and in working order. Check that any keys, tools or adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool area before switching on. Replace damaged, missing or failed parts immediately. Check that the electric circuit is adequately protected and that it corresponds with the power, voltage and frequency of the motor. Check that there is an earth connection, and a regulation differential switch upstream. Never open the pushbutton box on the motor – should this be necessary consult a qualified electrician. Make sure your fingers do not touch the plug’s metal prongs when plugging in or unplugging the log splitter. If you need to use an extension lead, ensure that it is no longer than 10metres and its cross-section is no less than 2.5mm² to allow sufficient current flow to the motor. -
Page 4: Use Of Log Splitter
USE OF THE LOG SPLITTER • Put the log splitter on a 60-70cm high, stable, flat and level work bench where there is plenty of room. If possible use a special log splitter stand. Bolt the log splitter to the work surface if it tends to walk, slip or slide. Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered areas invite injuries. Do NOT use the log splitter in wet or damp areas or expose it to rain. Do NOT use in an area where fumes from paint, solvents or inflammable liquid pose a potential hazard. • Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the logs to be split. The ends of the logs must be cut square. Branches must be cut off flush with the trunk. • Always pay full attention to the movement of the log pusher. • Keep your hands away from splits and cracks which open up in the wood – they may close suddenly and cause injury. Do NOT attempt to remove jammed logs with your hands. • The log splitter will do a better and safer job at its designed pressure/rate. Never try to split logs larger than those indicated in the specifications table. This could be dangerous and may damage the machine. Never leave the log splitter running unattended. • Always pay full attention to the movement of the log pusher. Do not attempt to load the log until the log pusher has stopped. Keep your hands away from all moving parts. • Unplug when not in use, before making adjustments, changing parts, cleaning or working on the log splitter. • Dispose of used oil responsibly. Take to an authorised collection point – refer to your local council for details. Do NOT discharge into drains, soil or water. APPLICATION CONDITIONS The log splitter is for domestic use. It is designed for operation under ambient temperatures between +5°C and 40°C and for installation at altitudes of no more than 1000m above MSL. -

Page 6: Log Splitter Operation
LOG SPLITTER OPERATION 1. Plan the work area before using the log splitter. Have the logs positioned where they can be easily reached. 2. The log splitter accommodates logs up to 52cm in length. The log splitter will work most efficiently on dry, seasoned logs. 3. Position the log splitter securely on level ground or on a secure stand. If necessary stabilise the wheels to prevent the log splitter from moving during use. If using an extension cable, do so in a safe way to avoid damaging the cable or creating a hazard. 4. Before operating the log splitter, the bleed screws (Fig 3) should be loosened by 3-4 turns to allow the air to go in and out of the oil tank. Re-tighten the screw when the work is complete or when moving the log splitter to avoid oil leaks. 5. Always place logs firmly on the main body, lying flat against the log guide plates (Ref A on Fig1). Never attempt to split a log at an angle and make sure the logs will not twist or slip whilst being split. Ensure the splitting wedge (Ref J on Fig1) and the log pusher (Ref B on Fig1) will make contact with the log squarely at each end. -
Page 7: Freeing A Jammed Log
TO FREE A JAMMED LOG Release both operating handles so that the log pusher is fully retracted. Insert a triangular wedge of wood under the log and activate the log pusher to push the wedge under the jammed log. Repeat this process using progressively larger wedges until the jammed log is freed. WARNING – Never hammer a jammed log or place your hands near the log when attempting to free a jammed log. -
Page 8: Replacing The Hydraulic Oil
REPLACING HYDRAULIC OIL Replace the hydraulic oil in the log splitter after every 150 hours of use. Take the following steps to replace the oil: 1. Make sure all moving parts are stopped and the log splitter is unplugged. 2. Unscrew the oil drain bolt. 3. Turn the log splitter onto the support leg side and hold over a 3 litre container to drain the oil into. 4. Turn the log splitter vertically to stand on its end with the motor underneath and the operating handles uppermost. 5. Fill with fresh hydraulic oil. As stated in the Specifications Table on page 5 the correct oil capacity is 2.9L. -
