1. 

Plug the unit into a 3 prong outlet.

 

2. 

Press the power button to turn the log splitter on.  

3. 

Place the log firmly against one of the wedges. 

4. 

Move control handle down to split the log. 
Release the handle to retract the ram  
automatically and begin loading the next log.  

5. 

When the machine is no longer in use, switch it  
off and unplug the power cable. 
 

NOTE:  
a) 

Ensure that the horizontal distance between the  
splitter and outlet is more than 5 feet. 

b) 

Load each log by grasping the rounded sides of  
the log only.  

c) 

Only allow responsible adults who have read and  
understand the manual to operate this machine. 

d) 

Be familiar with all controls and proper operation. Know how to stop the machine quickly in the event of an emergency. 

e) 

Do not operate the machine while under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication. 

f) 

Only a single operator is allowed to load and operate this log splitter. Keep bystanders, helpers, pets and children a 
sufficient distance, at least 25 feet from the machine. 

g) 

Only use your hands to operate the control handle and the switch. Arms, feet, knees, rope, heavy objects and extension 
device are not allowed. 

h) 

Never put any part of your body between the extending ram and the wedge. 

i) 

Don’t step over the log splitter when the motor is running. 

j) 

Always split log along its grain. If it is cut against the grain, there is potential for the wood to burst or fly out resulting in 
injury. 

k) 

Don’t  force  the  tool. It is already designed to operate at its maximum speed and tonnage. If you experienced 
problems splitting especially hard wood, do  not continue to  push on the control  handle  for more than 3 
seconds. Release the control handle at once to avoid damage. If the motor stops, turn off the motor and then 
turn it back on again to continue operation.  

l) 

If the log is clipped  or jammed  on the wedge, release the  control  handle  and unplug the power cable immediately. 
Gently knock off the log with a hammer or mallet (not with your hands). 

m)  Never attempt to split more than one log at a time unless the ram has fully extended  and a second log is needed to 

complete the separation of the first log. Never attempt to split one log on top of another. 

n) 

Regularly clear the split wood to keep the work area clear of debris. 

o) 

Periodically check that all nuts, bolts, screws, hydraulic fittings and hose clamps are tightened. 

p) 

Never operate your splitter on wet, muddy or icy surfaces. Safe footing is essential in preventing accidents. 

q) 

Never leave the machine unattended while the motor is running. 

r) 

Never use this machine in a damp or rainy environment.  

s) 

Only operate the log splitter when there is sufficient lighting. 

t) 

Never tamper with the motor to run it at excessive speeds. The maximum motor speed is preset by the manufacturer 
and is within safety limits. 

u) 

Switch off and unplug the power cable if the machine malfunctions. For example: if the machine makes loud noises and 
the ram is running erratically, there is a strong possibility that there is excessive air in the hydraulic lines or there is a 
shortage of hydraulic oil in the tank (refer to the Troubleshooting section for the solution). 

v) 

Do not pull on the power supply cable to unplug the machine.
