The following signal words and meanings are intended to explain the levels of risk associated with this product. DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not followed, will result in serious injury or death. WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY 1. This tool is powered by a precision built electric motor. Use only an electrical circuit having adequate capacity as recommended by the manufacturer -- 115 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). If you choose to connect the tool to a generator, make sure the generator carrying the current (Amperes) or power output (Watts) at least 50% more than rated. 2.
HYDRAULIC SAFETY 1. The hydraulic system of your log splitter requires careful inspection along with the mechanical parts. Be sure to replace frayed, kinked, cracked or otherwise damaged hydraulic hoses or hydraulic components. 2. NEVER check for leaks of hydraulic fluid with your hand. Fluid escaping from a small hole can be almost invisible. Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin causing serious personal injury or even death.
SECTION II: PRE-OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS UNPACKING & ASSEMBLING This product has been shipped pre-assembled. • Carefully remove the log splitter and all accessories from the box. Make sure that all components listed in the Packing List are included. See Page 16 • Inspect the tool carefully to make sure no breakage or damage occurred during shipping. • DO NOT discard packing materials until you have Carefully inspected and satisfactorily operated the tool.
• Lubricate the wedge and upper side of the machine body. This will allow the log to move smoothly on the surface. See FIGURE 6 • Wear non-slip safety shoes, safety goggles, safety gloves, protective hair covering and suitable work clothing. Never wear jewelry, necktie and other loose clothing. • Logs should be cut with square ends. Never split logs larger than 10 in. diameter or 20-1/2 in. long. Uneven logs (e.g. knotted, curved, etc.) should not be used.
SECTION III: OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS • Plug the machine into a 3 pole outlet and start the motor. • Grab the round side of the log and place it firmly against the wedge. See FIGURE 7 • Use your right hand to push the control handle DOWN. The ram will drive the log against the wedge to split. • Stabilize the log using your left hand when needed. Remove left hand immediately as the wedge starts to contact the log. • Release the control handle to stop splitting.
SECTION IV: MAINTENANCE OFF SEASON STORAGE Store unit in a clean, dry area. Make sure it’s switched off and unplugged. NOTES 1. Allow the machine to cool 5 minutes after use before storing. 2. Protect power supply cable from heat, sunshine, aggressive liquids and sharp edges. 3. Do not store unit in unprotected areas outdoors. Never place near corrosive materials or in a damp environment. 4. Unscrew the control handle if you store the machine upright. Make sure it won’t tip over.
7) Level down the machine and operate it unloaded. Hold the control handle to engage the ram to the farthest position and then release the control handle to retract the ram fully. Repeat this operation for 12 cycles to repel the air. 8) Dispose old oil at an oil recycling center. • Sharpen the wedge when it gets dull or nicked. Using a fine-toothed file, smooth any burrs or crushed areas along the cutting edge. • Periodically clean the machine using an oiled rag to prevent rust.
