Operation
2. LOOSEN THE BLEED SCREW
• Turn the bleed screw 3 full turns.
• Leave the bleed screw in a vertical position
aligned behind the wedge or in a horizontal
position aligned with the work table in order
to avoid being sheared off by the split log
during operation.
3. USING THE LOG SPLITTER
a. Plug the power cord of the log splitter into the power supply.
b. Load the log into the log splitter
by placing the log lengthwise,
lying flat on the work table within
the log retaining plates, and in the
direction of the grain (fig. 1).
WARNING! Always loosen the bleed screw before operating the log
splitter. Failure to loosen the bleed screw may cause the seals in the
hydraulic system to rupture and cause serious physical injuries
and/or permanent damage to the log splitter.

WARNING! After 5 seconds of activation and the wood is not moving,
the pressurized oil becomes overheated and could damage the motor.
Never keep pressure on the wood by trying to force the log splitter for
more than 5 seconds. If the log is extremely hard, rotate the log 90°
in order to split it from the other side. If this doesn’t work, it means
that the hardness of the log exceeds the capacity of the log splitter
therefore, the log should be discarded. Do not force the log splitter to
split very hard wood.
