SAFETY INSTRUCTIONSRead and understand the owner’s manual and labels affixedto the logsplitter. Learn its application and limitations as wellas the specific potential hazards. Retain these instructions forreference.• Use sturdy footwear and a helmet with eye and ear protection.Protect exposed parts of your body. Wear heavy duty gloves,preferably made of leather.• Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing andgloves away from moving parts.• Do not operate the logsplitter if you are tired, ill or under theinfluence of alcohol or drugs.• Do not smoke when using the logsplitter and ensure caution whenhandling fuel. We recommend you fuel the machine at least 3maway from where you wish to work in case any spilt fuel igniteswhen starting the engine.• Ensure that bystanders, children and pets keep well away whenstarting or trimming - at least 15m.• Do not operate the machine on a steep slope.• Inspect the machine and all attachments before use for any worn ordamaged parts. Do not use until the parts are repaired or replaced.• Before starting the engine make sure you have a clear work areaand secure footing.• The logsplitter should not be exposed to direct sunlight, hightemperatures or damp and wet conditions. In addition, do not usein a confined space but in a well ventilated, outdoor area.• Ensure that the engine is turned off before transporting or carryingout any maintenance. Allow to cool down to avoid accidentallytouching the hot exhaust.• Clean the logsplitter after each use and, if storing for a prolongedperiod, drain down the fuel in the tank. Remove the spark plugand put a few drops of oil into the cylinder before pulling thestarter a couple of times to distribute the oil evenly. Replace thespark plug.Page 3

Work safely and save effort by planning your work beforehand.Position your logs so that they can be easily lifted onto the logsplitter and, either stack close by or load onto a truck/trolley assoon as they are split.Inspect your logs and do not attempt to split logs containingnails, wire or debris which could damage the log splitter.The splitter can accomodate logs up to 104cm in length.When cutting up limbs or large sections do not cut longer than100cm. Place the support table into the position nearest to thelog length - 52cm, 78cm or 104cm, and secure.Before operation, apply a thin coat of grease to the surfacesof the ram.• Loosen the oil tank cover a few turns to allow air to movefreely as described above. Re-tighten when you havefinished splitting.• Fill engine with SAE30 oil to the ‘full’ mark on the dipstick.Check the level of the oil.• Fill fuel tank with unleaded petrol.• Start the engine - the wedge ram should rise to the highestposition automatically.• If operating in low temperatures, allow the engine to run for15mins to preheat the oil.• Check the operation of both control levers by lowering sothat the splitting ram lowers to approx 5cm above thehighest table position. Release either lever and the splittingwedge will stay in the same postion. Release both levers atthe same time and the splitting wedge will return to thehighest position.To set the wedge ram stroke:• Move splitting wedge to desired position. The upper positionof the ram wedge travel should be about 3-5cm over thelogs to be split.• Turn off the engine.• Release the Setscrew (A) with L key.Raise Adjusting Rod(B) until resistance is felt by the spring inside. Tighten theSetscrew.• Release both control levers and start engine.• Check the upper position of the splitting wedge.Page 8

OPERATION, cont’dTo operate:• Place log on support table vertically and sitting flat. Donot attempt to split a log at an angle and do not place thelog across the splitter - always split in the direction of thegrain.• Adjust the Log Holders (A) to suit the diameter of the log.• Hold the log with the clamping brackets closely in thecontrol lever guards.• Lower levers to start splitting.• Releasing either of the levers stops the motion. Releasingboth levers returns the splitting wedge to the upperposition.Hints and Tips:• Never attempt to load the log splitter whilst the ram is inmotion.• Never try to split two logs at once.• Keep your hands away from the splits and cracks whichappear whilst the log is being split.• Do not remove jammed logs with your hands - stop theengine and loosen the log by a downward stroke on the logwith a hammer.• Do not force the tool and do not make alterations to thelog splitter as this could be dangerous and invalidate yourwarranty.• Do not try to split logs larger than recommended in thespecifications table.• After long periods of operation the splitting wedge mayneed sharpening. Use a fine toothed file to remove burrs,or flat spots on the edge.• Check the level of the hydraulic oil regularly using thedipstick. In addition the oil should be changed once ayear.Recommended oils are:SHELL Tellus 22MOBIL DTE 11ARAL Vitam GF22BP Energol HLP-HM 22Page 9
