Failure to loosen the bleed screw will keep the sealed air in the hydraulic system.
The air being compressed and then decompressed, such continuous air compression and
decompression will blow out the seals of the hydraulic system and cause permanent damage to the
log splitter.
Before moving or transporting the log splitter, close the bleed screw to avoid any spillage.
4.5- Moving the Log Splitter
The log splitter is equipped with 2 wheels for minor moving.
.
Make sure the oil tank cover is securely tightened
Make sure the oil drain screw is securely tightened.
To move the log splitter to the work area, grip the handle to tilt the log splitter slightly.
The wheels are not intended to transport or tow the log splitter over long distance.
Do not tow on open road.
Do not use the log splitter to transport persons/animals or objects.
4.6- Maximum pressure limiting device
The maximum pressure was set before the log splitter left the factory and the maximum pressure
limiting screw is sealed with glue to ensure the log splitter works under the set pressure. No operator
resetting is required.
Unauthorized resetting will cause the hydraulic pump fail to output enough splitting pressure or
result in serious injury as well as damage to the machine. Unauthorised intervention will void the
guarantee.
V. OPERATION
5.1- Intended use
The log splitter is a machine intended to split firewood, in which the log is split through the pressure
of a slab against a fixed wedge.
Only pre-cut logs should be split with the log splitter.
The splitter is solely intended for private use for DIY and home maintenance.
Metal parts (e.g. nails, wire, etc...) must be removed from the log wood.
- Do not use the machine for purposes not appropriate (e.g. cutting products containing hazardous
materials ...), or for any use not described in this manual
The splitter is designed to be used by one person
