Splitting Operation
Instructions for operating the power log lift:
WARNING: Crush hazard
• Operator position. Stay in the designated OPERATOR position while operating
log lift control.
• Second person. If a helper is assisting in loading logs to be split, do not actuate log
lift control until the helper is at least 10 feet away.
• Hand activate. Use only your hand to operate the log lift control. Never use any
other body part, or a rope, cable, or other remote device to actuate the control.
1. Lower the log lift by pushing the Lift Control Lever away from you while standing in the
designated OPERATOR position.
2. Load log onto log lift.
3. Raise the log lift by pulling the Lift Control Lever toward you while standing in the
designated OPERATOR position.
4. Stop lift movement by releasing the Lift Control Lever.
5. Important: If a hazardous situation is encountered at any time during the lifting
operation, release the Lift and Split Control Lever and the log lift will stop moving
6. Allow log to roll onto beam.
7. If log is oddly shaped, it may not roll down the log lift by itself. If this happens, walk
around the log splitter to the log lift side and move the log onto the beam by hand.
WARNING: Crush hazard
• Keep hands clear while log is rolling onto the beam.
• NEVER reach across the beam to move a log off the log lift onto the beam – the
controls could be accidentally activated.
5. Load log
Load log onto beam with a cut end against wedge – positioned for a lengthwise cut.
NOTES:
a) The log splitter is designed only for cutting lengthwise with the grain, NOT for
cutting across the grain.
b) This log splitter is designed for cutting logs only up to a maximum of 30" long and 24" in
diameter. Larger diameter logs could get stuck on the wedge and longer logs will not fit
on the beam.
