OPERATION
Log Splitter Operation Cont’d.
HORIZONAL position is used for lighter logs that can
easily be loaded onto the beam .
VERTICAL position is used for light logs as well as
heavy logs that are difficult to load onto the beam .
Back injury can result from lifting logs onto the log
splitter if proper lifting techniques are not used .
NOTE
It is normal for the hydraulic fluid to become foamy
or frothy during operation .
NOTE
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 .
NOTE
Log Splitter Operation
1 . ALWAYS wear ear and eye protection, protective clothing
and safety gear .
2 . Block tires and put both support legs in the DOWN
position to prevent unintended movement of the log
splitter during operation .
3 . Set log splitter in either the horizontal or vertical
position .
4 . Load a log onto the beam against the end plate
(MAX LOG LENGTH – 60 .3 cm {23 .75-in .}) .
5 . Make sure all limbs are clear of crush zones .
6 . Push the control valve handle forward (towards the
end plate) to split the log .
7 . Push the auto control valve handle backward to
return the wedge to its original position .
8 . Clear the split wood from the work zone .
Do not hold auto control valve in return position . It
will damage the stop block or beam .
CAUTION
The cylinder stroke is designed so the wedge stops
approximately 3 .81 cm (1 .5 in .) from the end plate .
