ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: READ THROUGH THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE STARTING ANY POWER PRODUCT.

Machinery presents serious injury hazards to untrained users.

• HAND SAFETY: DO NOT put hands or other body parts into contact while the blades are moving. The log splitter can drag you into the blade, causing amputation of fingers, hands, or other body parts. DO NOT touch the motor during or immediately after operation to prevent burns.

• OPERATING LOCATION: Set up the log splitter on firm, level, grass, or dirt. DO NOT set up the log splitter on gravel, asphalt, concrete, or stone. The chips are expelled from the machine with enough force to ricochet off of hard surfaces and cause serious injury. DO NOT set up the log splitter in a location where sparks or heat from the motor could cause a fire.

• SECURE FOOTING: Placing the log splitter on a slope or slippery surface may cause the operator to fall into the machine, causing burns from the motor, or amputation if an arm accidentally goes into the splitter. Wear non-slip, closed-toed shoes or boots to maintain secure footing.

• JAMS AND CLOGGING: Turn the log splitter OFF, allow all moving parts to come to a complete stop, and disconnect the power cord before attempting to free a jam or clog.

• TURN OFF LOG SPLITTER: Turn OFF the machine, allow all moving parts to come to a complete stop, and disconnect the power cord before moving the machine or performing maintenance and repairs.

• STARTING THE LOG SPLITTER: Stay sufficiently away from the splitting wedge to avoid injuries caused by chips and splinters coming off.

• CLEANING THE LOG SPLITTER: Allow the motor to cool off, then brush dust and chip build-up off of the motor to prevent fire or engine overheating.

• SPLITTING LOGS: Never split any logs which contain nails, cables, or dangerous foreign substances. Make sure that always both ends of the log you are just processing are split as square as possible. This is the only way to guarantee that the log will not be forced out of its vertical position, while branches must have been cut off flush.
  Never split any logs, whose dimensions are bigger than those specified under “size of logs”. Otherwise, injuries or irreparable damage to the machine will be the result.
  Split the logs along the grain.
  Never place a log on this splitter crosswise to split it this way.
  This could result in injuries and damage to the machine.
  Never pile up the logs in order to process several logs at the same time. Parts of the wood could be flung off into the air and hit you.

• PROTECT YOUR HANDS: Never bring your hands in the vicinity of any gaps opening in the log as these may close in a matter of seconds and crush or even cut off your hands. Do not remove any jammed parts of a log with your hands. When the splitting wedge of the log splitter is returning keep your hands off the machine, as this log splitter has been designed so that it will automatically stop once the cylinder has fully retracted.

• RUNNING: DO NOT run this log splitter under full load for more than 5 seconds by keeping the cylinder pressed, for example, or if you want to split a hard log. This would result in quick overheating of the pressurized oil causing consequential damage to the machine. It is advisable to turn the log 90° and to try to split it at this position. If it is still impossible to split such a log please dispose of it instead of subjecting it to any further splitting process to avoid damage to the machine.

• SPLITTING WEDGE: DO NOT press the splitting wedge against the log. You could cause breakage of the wedge or damage to the column.

• DO NOT use the log splitter under any circumstances when you are under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medications, or if you are tired.

WARNING
Like all machinery, there is a potential danger when operating this machine. Accidents are frequently caused by a lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to lessen the possibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.

CAUTION
No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment, or poor work results.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

• IMPORTANT: Make sure that the electric circuit is fused, and that the power, voltage, and frequency of the motor is supported by your mains supply. Also, make sure, that your power supply is earthed. Connect your log splitter to earth. Never open the ON/ OFF switch box. However, if it should become necessary to do so, contact a qualified electrician. Make sure that you will never touch live contacts, specifically when you plug or unplug your log splitter. This machine and its power cord must never get into contact with water.
• Never use its power cord to move/shift your log splitter. Always unplug the power cord before handling your log splitter. Do not
• yank the plug out of the wall socket by the cable and protect the latter against heat sources, oil, and objects which can damage it. Neither exposes your log splitter to rain and wetness.
• NOTE: When equipment like this is being started a short-time voltage drop may occur, particularly if the mains quality is poor. Such drops can affect other consumers (e. g. flickering of a lamp). At a mains impedance of Zmax < 0.448 Ω, such trouble is not to be expected.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

• The single-phase 230 V/50 Hz motor of this log splitter should be connected to a standard 230 V + 10 %/50 Hz + 1 Hz power supply source provided with a residual-current circuit breaker.
• CAUTION: Any unprofessional use of extension cables can cause overheating to this log splitter. Ensure that the extension cable is not longer than 10 m and its wire cross-section is not less than 2.5 mm². Never use uninsulated or bare cables, respectively. The extension cable must be suitable for outdoor use.

OPERATION SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING
This machine presents serious injury hazards to untrained users. Read through this entire manual to become familiar with the controls and operations before starting the machine.

LOCATION
The log splitter must be placed on a firm, flat, grass or dirt surface to prevent the machine from tipping. DO NOT place the machine on concrete, asphalt, or other hard surfaces. The chips could bounce up from the hard surface and cause injury.
WORKING AREA
Consider the length of the material to be processed through the log splitter and make sure that there is enough height above the log splitter to accommodate the material.
Make sure the unit is located close to the area where the chips are going to be used to reduce carrying.
Stay clear of the discharge area. Make sure all bystanders, children, pets, or objects that you do not want to be damaged or covered in chips, are clear of the discharge area.

(h) Attach all the HOSES to the machine as the following, including high- PRESSURE OIL B.

The drive hub needs to be located between the engine and the hydraulic pump, ensure the keyway is firmly in place when fitting the pump to the engine (circled in the picture above and below), failing to ensure this is done correctly, will lead to the pump not turning and no hydraulic pressure is created.

STARTING

For easier handling, this log splitter is provided with two wheels. To move the log splitter hold the transport handle with your hands and carefully tilt back the log splitter. Make sure that the oil tank cap is closed.
NOTE: FILL WITH HYDRAULIC OIL BEFORE USING THE MACHINE. We recommend 7.5 Litres of hydraulic oil (oil type 46).
(a) Remove the oil tank cap, fill enough hydraulic oil and fix tightly before using.

(b) The machine must be placed on a stable and secured surface to avoid skidding. Provide sufficient room around your log splitter so that you can safely operate it.
(b) Ensure that no unauthorized persons (especially children) can approach your working area.
(c) Prior to startup, all guards and safety devices must have been properly attached. Check whether all screws, bolts, hydraulic couplings, and pipe clamps have been properly tightened. Always make sure before each starting that the hydraulic oil level is sufficient.
(d) This machine must never be used when it is in an inoperable condition or needs some maintenance. Before using this log splitter, get familiar with its controls and safety elements and with how they work. Make sure that the date indicated on the type label conforms with your main data before you connect your log splitter.

RECOMMENDED LOG SIZE

Choose your workplace in consideration of your safety regulations. Keep your logs to be split ready to hand. Remove the split logs from the working area.
Before you split your logs, sort out those logs which are longer than65 cm. If you want to split logs that are very big in diameter it is recommended that they should not exceed a maximum length of 40cm. Always choose the suitable height for the respective log lengthways and use the locking device to secure the table at the desired position.
Do not run this log splitter under full load for more than 5 seconds.
NOTE: NEVER TRY TO SPLIT WET WOOD.
DRY WOOD IS MUCH EASIER TO SPLIT THAN WET, WET LOGIN ADDITION, IT DOES NOT TEND TO GET JAMMED DURING SPLITTING AS FREQUENTLY.

OPERATION

WARNING
Damage to your eyes, hands, and ears could result from using this machine without proper protective gear. Always wear safety glasses, hearing protection, and gloves when operating this machine.
Loose hair and clothing could get caught in machinery and cause serious personal injury. Keep loose clothing and long hair away from moving machinery parts.

NOTE
If you have never used this type of machine or equipment before, we recommend that you read books, trade magazines, or get formal training before beginning any projects.
This log splitter does not have hydraulic oil when shipped. Add oil before operating the log splitter, or the log splitter will seize.
Understand and follow all of the safety precautions listed in safety instructions within this manual before operation.
This log splitter is intended for splitting logs only. DO NOT use this log splitter for chipping construction debris, plastic, paper products, rope or twine, or any material that may contain metal.

OPERATION CHECKS

To ensure longer life apply some grease to the sliding surfaces of the arm whenever you intend to use this machine.
Always lay the power cord so that it cannot be damaged by the log splitter.
Check the running direction of the motor. When you start the motor the splitting wedge will automatically move to its topmost position.
If the splitting wedge is already at its topmost position press the two operating levers down to activate the splitting mechanism. This will bring the splitting wedge down.
If the splitting wedge does not move upwardS after you have started the motor immediately stop the machine. Use a screwdriver to change the polarity of the motor. (electrician required)

CAUTION

NEVER RUN THE MOTOR IN THE WRONG DIRECTION. THIS WILL INEVITABLY LEAD TO DAMAGE TO THE PUMPING SYSTEM, AS A RESULT, YOU WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
If you want to run this log splitter at low temperatures run the machine idle for 15 minutes allowing the hydraulic oil to warm up.
Prior to beginning your work, perform the following steps to check the functionality of your log splitter.
Press both operating levers down. This must bring the splitting wedge down.
Pulling up both levers will induce the splitting wedge to automatically return to the top.
Place vertically under the splitting wedge the log to be split. Make sure that the log is even and does not fall over on the splitting table. Never try to split canted logs.

IMPORTANT

ALWAYS SPLIT YOUR LOGS ALONG THE GRAIN. NEVER LOAD THE LOGS CROSSWISE TO THE GRAIN, AS THIS CAN LEAD TO SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE MECHANICAL AND HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS.
Hold the log with both levers to guarantee a stable standing position of the log. Then move both levers down to split the log.
Immediately remove the split log parts from your working area and pile them up, if necessary. Thus you can reduce the risk of work accidents.
After you have finished your work, allow the splitting wedge and the arms to move to their topmost positions.
Then stop the motor and unplug the machine from your power supply source. Allow the machine to cool down.
After that, you should clean and, if necessary, lubricate your machine. This log splitter may only be stored in a vertical position and in a dry and clean place. Ensure that the oil tank cap is well closed and that no oil will emerge during storage.

CAUTION
Always disconnect your power supply source from your machine before you begin to release any jammed logs.
DO NOT allow any other persons to assist you in releasing a jammed log.
When releasing a jammed log, never use foreign objects to remove the jam. Please do not maltreat the jammed log with your feet or with any objects, as a sudden release of the jammed log will cause the log pusher to give way which can lead to personal injuries or damage to your machine.
The manufacturer will not be liable for any injuries to persons or animals or to damage to property as a result of improper use of this machine or of non- observance of the safety regulations.
