OPERATION
5.1.
ADJUSTING WORKING HEIGHT
5.1.1. Remove the safety clip and adjust the foot pedal height to at least 33cm (13 inches) by screwing the adjustment screw out (to raise the
foot pedal) and in (to lower the foot pedal.)
5.2.
SPLITTING LOGS (FIG.2 & 3)
5.2.1. Tips:
Wet or non seasoned wood is more difficult to split than dry wood because the fibres stick together.
Reversing the log and splitting it from the other end may help if you cannot pull the wood apart.
Large or multiple knots in a log make splitting more difficult. Usually if the log is rotated so the knots are vertical to the blade, the wood will
split more easily and less stress is placed on the splitter. This will reduce wear and tear and the possibility of damaging components of the
splitter.
5.3.
OPERATION
5.3.1. Remove the safety cover from the cutter. Select your log and lift the slide stop lever to allow it to be moved along the bar. Lay the log on
the splitter and push the slide stop onto the end of the log.
5.3.2. Pump the foot pedal down, it may take three or four pumps, until the log is split.
5.3.3. To remove a log from the splitter, that has not been split all the way through, lift the lever on the slide stop and pull it back, place your foot
on the bottom bar and pull the end of the log sideways towards you.
5.3.4. When finished fit the safety cover and safety clip, wind in the adjustment screw and store in a safe, childproof location.
5.3.5. Keep moving parts lubricated with anti-rust machine oil.
