SPLITTING A LOG

This log splitter is designed to be operated by one person only and requires

two handed operation by the user -

1. Place the log onto the support table vertically making sure that it is sitting

flat on the support table.

• Ensure the wedge will come into contact with the log squarely on

the end. Never attempt to split a log at an angle.

2. Grip the log securely using the control arms.

3. Press down on both levers to start

the split

ting action.

• Releasing either lever stops the

splitting wedge.

• Releasing both levers will return

the splitting wedge to its original

position.

NOTE: Once you start splitting the

log, do not reach into the

machine.

4. Stack split logs as you work. This will provide a safer work area, by

keeping it

uncluttered.

CAUTION: SPLIT LOGS IN THE DIRECTION OF THE GRAIN. DO NOT PLACE

LOGS ACROSS THE LOG SPLITTER FOR SPLITTING. IT MAY BE DANGEROUS

AND MAY SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE MACHINE.

WARNING: NEVER TRY TO SPLIT WOOD FOR MORE THAN 5 SECONDS, IF

THE MACHINE CANNOT DO IT WITHIN THIS TIME, THE OIL WILL BEGIN TO

OVERHEAT AND THE MACHINE MAY BE DAMAGED.
