KNOW YOUR MACHINE

Make yourself aware of the components and operational levers of the machine, prior to attempting any work

BLEED SCREW
IMPORTANT
Before operating the log splitter, the Oil Filler/Air Bleed should be loosened a few rotations until air can go in and out of the oil tank smoothly. Airflow through the Oil iller/Air Bleed hole should be noticeable while the log splitter is working.
Before moving the log splitter, ensure the Oil filler/Air Bleed is tightened to avoid oil leaks.

Failure to loosen the bleed screw will keep the sealed air in the hydraulic system compressed. Such continuous air compression will blow out the seals of the hydraulic system and cause permanent damage to the log splitter, which is not covered under the terms & conditions of the manufacturer’s warranty.
.TRANSPORTING YOUR LOG SPLITTER
The log splitter is equipped with 2 wheels for minor moving. To move the log splitter, check that the bleed screw is sufficiently tightened. Grip the handle to tilt the log splitter lightly. We recommend the machine is pushed and not pulled to the work sight.

Do not transport the log splitter with wood loaded

OPERATION

WARNING
The support table has been supplied with this log splitter to protect the user from falling logs. Using the log splitter without the support table positioned could cause serious damage to the user and bystanders.
APPLICATION CONDITIONS
This log splitter is a home-use model. It is designed for operating under ambient temperatures between +5°C and 40°C and for installation at altitudes no more than 1000m  above M.S.L. The surrounding humidity should be less than 50% at 40°C. It can be stored or transported under ambient temperatures between -25°C and 55°C.
**** Do not attempt to split green logs. Dry, seasoned logs split much more easily, and will not jam as frequently as green wood.

1. Before the operation, we recommend the machine is placed on level ground.

2. Plan your work site. Work safely and save effort by planning your work beforehand. Have your logs positioned where they can be easily reached? Have a site located to stack the split wood or load it onto a nearby truck or another carrier.

3. Prepare the logs for splitting. This splitter accommodates logs up to 105cm in length. When cutting up limbs and large sections, do not cut sections any longer than 105cm.

4. Applying a thin coat of grease to the surfaces of the ram before the operation will lengthen the durability of the ram.

5. Route the power cord. Route the cord from the power source to the splitter in a way that safeguards against tripping on the cord, or the cord becoming damaged during the work session. Protect the power cord from impacts, pulling, or corrosive materials.

6. Open the Oil Filler/Air Bleed. Loosen the oil tank cover a few turns whenever the splitter is being used. Retighten this cover when you have finished.

7. While operating under extremely low temperatures, keep the log splitter running under no load for 15 minutes to preheat the hydraulic oil.

8. Before initial operation, check to be sure the two-handed operation is properly functioning by following steps:
   a. Lower both control levers, splitting wedge lowers to approx. 5cm above the take above the highest table position.
   b. Release either of the levers, splitting wedge should remain in the original position.
   c. Release both levers, the ram should rise to the highest position automatically.

9. To set wedge ram stroke, take the following steps:
   a. Move the splitting wedge to the desired position. The upper position of the ram wedge travel should be about 3-5cm over the logs to be split.
   b. Release a control lever or switch off the motor.
   c. Release the Setscrew (A) with the L key. Raise Adjusting Rod (B) until Adjusting Rod (B) is started to be stopped by the spring inside. Tighten the Setscrew (A).
   d. Release both control levers or switch on the motor.
   e. Check the upper position of the splitting wedge

10. Place log onto the splitter. Place the log onto the support table vertically and sit flat on the support table. Be sure the wedge and support table will contact the log squarely on the ends. Never attempt to split a log at an angle.

11. Adjust the Log Holders (A) according to the diameter of the log to obtain the most comfortable Control Levers angle.

12. Hold the log with clamping brackets closely in the control lever guards. Lower both levers to start splitting action. Releasing either lever stops the motion of the splitting edge. Releasing both handles returns the splitting wedge to the upper position.

13. Stack as you work. This will provide a safer work area, by keeping it uncluttered, and avoid the danger of tripping, or damaging the power cord.

Break log in the direction of its growing grain. Do not place the log across the log splitter for splitting. It may be dangerous and may seriously damage the machine.
Accumulated split wood and wood chips can create a hazardous work environment. Never continue to work in a cluttered work area that may cause you to slip, trip or fall.
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 to see whether it can e 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.
SHARPENING THE SPLITTING WEDGE
This log splitter is equipped with a reinforced splitting wedge which is specially treated. After long periods of operation, and when required; sharpen the wedge using a fine-toothed file removing any burrs or flat spots on the edge.
CHECKING HYDRAULIC OIL LEVEL
Periodically check the oil level to ensure it is between the 2 grooves around the Dipstick. To check the oil.

• Ensure the machine is upright, not operating, or plugged into the electrical source.
• Unscrew the Oil Filler/air Bleed & remove it.

The following hydraulic oils or equivalent Type 22 are recommended for the log splitter’s hydraulic transmission system:

• HANDY PARTS Log splitter Oil WPL110 (1L), WPL113 (5L)
• SHELL Tellus 22
• MOBIL DTE 11
• ARAL Vitam GF 22
• BP Energy HLP-HM 22
• Clean the dipstick and put it back into the oil tank. Make sure it is tightened to avoid leaks during transit.
• Never exceed the maximum level. Empty oil if the maximum level is exceeded until the oil level is between the minimum & maximum marks on the dipstick.
• The machine will operate as designed with oil in between the minimum & maximum marks

Read dipstick to determine the maximum and minimum of the oil level. Low oil can damage the oil pump. Overfilling can result in excessive temperature in the hydraulic transmission system.
REPLACING HYDRAULIC OIL
The hydraulic system is a closed system with an oil tank, oil pump, and control valve. Check oil level regularly with the dipstick. Low oil levels can damage the oil pump. The oil level should measure approx. 1 ~ 2cm lower than the upper surface of the oil tank. The oil should be completely changed once a year.

• Make sure moving parts stops and the log splitter is unplugged from the power source.
• Make sure that no dirt or debris finds its way into the oil tank
• Use a drain pan to aid in the removal of all used oil and particles.
• Remove the oil drain plug to drain oil from the hydraulic transmission system. Examine oil for metal chips as a precaution against future problems.
• Following an oil change, activate the log splitter a few times without actually splitting with the Oil Filler/Air Bleed removed, to disperse any trapped air in the hydraulic system.

The following hydraulic oils or equivalent Type 22 are recommended for the log splitter’s hydraulic transmission system:

• HANDY PARTS Log splitter Oil WPL110 (1L), WPL113 (5L)
• SHELL Tellus 22
• MOBIL DTE 11
• ARAL Vitam GF 22
• BP Energy HLP-HM 22
• Clean the Dipstick and put it back into the oil tank.
• Never exceed the maximum level. Empty oil if the maximum level is exceeded until the oil level is between the minimum & maximum marks on the dipstick.
• The machine will operate as designed with oil in between the minimum & maximum marks.
• Clean the dipstick before replacing it. Make sure it is tightened to avoid leaks during transit.

Read dipstick to determine the maximum and minimum of the oil level. Low oil can damage the oil pump. Overfilling can result in excessive temperature in the hydraulic transmission system.
