Operation
Special instructions for splitting logs:
Preparations:
The logs to be split should be cut to the maximum dimensions
(520 mm long, ∅ 50 – 250 mm). Ensure also that the logs are cut
straight and square.
Place the log properly on the log splitter, so as not to cause any
risk of stumbling or falling to the operator.
Bleeding
Open the bleed screw 3 – 4 complete turns – Fig. 3.
Close the bleed screw again when you are finished splitting logs.

hydraulic pump.
2. Press the operating lever down simultaneously – Fig. 4.
The log ram pushes the log against the splitting wedge,
and the log will be split.
