OPERATION
This log splitter is equipped with “ZHB” control system that must be operated with both hands – the
left hand controls the hydraulic control lever while right hand controls the pushbutton switch. The
log splitter will freeze if either hand is removed. The log pusher will only start to return backward to
the starting position after both hands release the controls. During use the log pusher will move
towards the splitting wedge putting pressure on the log.
The trigger type lockout device is used to avoid accidental Hydraulic Control Lever activation. To
operate the Hydraulic Control Lever, draw the Trigger backward with your index finger before
pushing the Hydraulic Control Lever forward.
Never force the log splitter for more than 5 seconds. Do not keep pressure on it to split
excessively hard wood.
After 5 seconds of constant use, the oil under pressure will be overheated and the machine could be
damaged. For such extremely hard logs, rotate it by 90
o
to see whether it can be split in a different
direction (the log should still be split with the grain as shown in the diagrams in this manual). In any
case, if you are not able to split the log, this means that its hardness exceeds the capacity of the
machine and thus that log should be discarded to protect the log splitter.
Always set logs firmly on the log retaining
plates and work table. Make sure that the
log will not twist, rock or slip while being
split. Do not force the blade by splitting the
log on the upper part of the wedge (as
shown in the diagram).
This will break the
blade or damage the machine.
Break the log in the direction of its growing grain. Do not place log across the log splitter for splitting.
It may be dangerous and may seriously damage the machine.
Do not attempt to split 2 pieces of logs at the same time. One of them may be thrown by the
machine which could cause serious injuries to the user.
