• Do not hold the Handle in the forward position
when the Ram stops moving forward. Always pull the
Engagement Handle RAPIDLY to the back (Auto-Retract)
position as soon as the Log is split or when the Ram is
at the end of the stroke or when the Ram stops moving
forward due to a tough log.
1. Place the log on the Log Splitter. Grasp the log on the
sides near the middle of the block (Fig. 8). Center the log,
side-to-side, on the rail of the Log Splitter. Do not place
the log tightly to the cutting knife. The recommended
distance from the cutting knife is 4-5 cm.
The engagement Handle must be held fully in the Split
Position against the hard stop when splitting. Failure to
do so may result in kickback of the Handle.
CAUTION!
2. With one hand, actuate and hold the safety lever
towards you, then RAPIDLY actuate the Engagement
Handle fully towards the Motor until it contacts the
hard stop and hold firmly until the Log is split (Fig. 9).
3. IMMEDIATELY AFTER the log is split, actuate and
hold the Engagement Handle to the Auto-Retract
position to allow the Ram to return. If the Ram stops
before the end of the stroke while splitting a tough
log, quickly actuate the Engagement Handle back to
the Auto-Retract position.
