Log Splitter Operation

NOTICE
Back injury can result from lifting logs onto the log splitter if
proper lifting techniques are not used.
It is normal for the hydraulic fluid to appear foamy/frothy
during operation. This can be caused by agitated oil in the tank
collecting air.
If a log gets stuck, embedded or will not split completely,
push the control handle in the reverse direction and allow the
splitter to strip the log from the wedge.
ALWAYS keep hands clear of the log and wedge while it is
retracting.
The cylinder stroke is designed so the wedge stops
approximately 1.5 in. (3.8 cm) from the end plate.
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields, and as necessary a full face-shield as well as full ear
protection when operating this product.
Always wear safety shoes or heavy boots when operating the
machine.
Always wear nonslip, heavy-duty protective gloves when
operating this product.
1. Block tires and ensure support leg is secure to prevent
unintended movement of the log splitter during operation.
2. Load a log onto the beam against the end plate.
3. Make sure all limbs are clear of crush zones.
4. Push the control valve handle forward (towards the endplate)
to split the log.
5. Push the auto control valve handle backward to return the
wedge to its original position.
6. Clear the split wood from the work zone.
