Never force the tool or attachment to do the work of a larger industrial tool. It is designed to do the job better
and more safely at the rate for which it was intended.
Step 1)
Make certain that the maximum length of each log to be split does not exceed
18-1/2". If the log exceeds this length, it must be cut to no longer than 18-1/2".
Step 2)
Made certain that the Piston Rod (A-32) is fully retracted into the Cylinder
(A-36). If not fully retracted, turn the Release Screw (A-44) counterclockwise to
release the hydraulic pressure. Once this is completed, and the Piston Rod is
fully retracted into the Cylinder, tighten the Release Screw.

Step 3)
Place the log between the Wedge and the Piston Assembly, resting the log in
the metal Cradle.
Step 4)
Grip one Handle (A-16) in each hand and move them in a back-and-forth motion
with one lever being pushed fully forward and one lever being pulled fully rearward.
Please see Figure 3 for illustration of this step.
Warning: When splitting wood, make sure
the area around the Wedge and Piston Assembly
is clear of people to avoid the possibility of injury
from falling wood pieces.
Never let children use the Log Splitter. Keep children
away from the work area at all times.
