SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The log splitter may only be operated by a single person.
The machine may only be operated by persons over the
age of 18 years, and who have read and understood these
operating instructions.
Wear protective equipment (safety mask, gloves, safety
shoes) to protect yourself from possible injury.
Never try to split logs containing nails, wire or other similar
objects.
Already split wood and wood chips create a dangerous
working area. The operator may stumble, slip or fall.
Always keep the working area neat and tidy.
Never place the hands on or near any moving parts of the
machine when it is switched on. Maintain a safe distance
from the log, the ram and the wedge in order to protect
your hands from injury.
Split only timber which corresponds to the maximal length
to be worked with.
What type of logs can I split?
Size of logs
Length:
max. 520 mm
Diameter:
50 – 250 mm
The log diameter is a recommended guideline figure, because:
−
thin logs can be difficult to split if they contain knots or if
the fibres are too strong.
Do not try to split green logs. Dry logs are much easier to split,
and do not cause jams as often as green (damp) wood.
Hard wood tend to bursting: Exercise utmost caution!
Special instructions for splitting logs:
Preparations:
The logs to be split should be cut to the maximum dimensions
(520 mm long,
∅
50 – 250 mm). Ensure also that the logs are
cut straight and square.
Place the log properly on the log splitter, so as not to cause
any risk of stumbling or falling to the operator.
Bleeding
Open the bleed screw 3 – 4 complete turns – Fig. 2. Close the
bleed screw again when you are finished splitting logs.
Bleed screw
Splitting logs:
¾
Always position the logs horizontally on the main splitter's
frame with the grain parallel to the frame. The log must be
enclosed by the log guide plates. Fig. 3
