OPERATION
OPERATION
Trigger type lock-out device is adopted to
avoid accidental Hydraulic Control Lever
pushdown. To operate the Hydraulic Control
Lever, draw the Trigger backward with the
index finger before pushing the Hydraulic
Control Lever forward.
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° 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.
Always set logs firmly on the log retaining
plates and work table. Make sure logs will
not twist, rock or slip while being split. Do
not force the blade by splitting the log on
the upper part. This will break the blade or
damage the machine.
Automatic Return
Never force the log splitter for more
than 5 seconds by keeping pressure
on it to split excessively hard wood.
Break 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 log at the
same time. One of them may fly up and hit
you.
Release both controls.
After the log pusher moves back and
completely stops at its starting position,
insert a wedge wood under the jammed log.
Start the log splitter to push the wedge
wood to go completely under the jammed
one.
Repeat above procedure with sharper slope
wedge woods until the log is completely
freed.
