This log splitter is equipped with “ZHB” control system that requires to be operated by both
hands of the user. Left hand controls the hydraulic control lever while right hand controls the
other hydraulic lever. The log splitter will freeze upon absence of either hand. When both
hands are released from the controls, the log pusher starts to return backward to the
starting position.
NOTE! Never force the log splitter for more than 5 seconds by keeping pressure on it to split
excessively hard wood. After this time interval, the oil under pressure will be overheated and
the machine could be damaged. For such extremely hard log, rotate it by 90 degrees to see
whether it can be split in a different direction. 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.
Setting the speed
This machine is equipped with a 2-speed control valve. When you press both handles down a
little, the machine operates in high speed. When you press the handles all the way to the
bottom, the machine operates in slow speed.

Freeing a jammed log
Depending on the wood type a log may not always split but is jammed to the wedge. If a log
is jammed, stop the machine by releasing both handles. When the log pusher has moved
back and completely stopped at its starting position, insert a wedge wood under the jammed
