PART IV: OPERATION
SPLITTING
Note: All logs should be no longer than 52 cm.
WARNING
Do not place your hands on the ends of the log when loading the log splitter. This
is a very unsafe method and could result in injury to your hands (Figure 1).
Do not reach or step across the rail while the Log Splitter is running. This is a
very unsafe method, which could cause personal injury or even death.
CAUTION
Never attempt to split wood across the grain. The Log Splitter was not designed
for cross-grain splitting. Doing so could damage the Log Splitter and may cause
personal injury (Figure 2).
Make sure both ends of the log you are splitting are cut as squarely as possible. This
will prevent the log from sliding out of position while under pressure (Figure 3).
1. Place the log on the Log Splitter. Grasp the log on the sides near the middle of
the block (Figure 4). Centre the log, side-to-side, on the rail of the Log Splitter,
making sure that one end is against the Splitting Wedge.
2. With one hand on the Lever and the other hand clear of the machine, pull the
Control Handle fully forward (towards the log) until the Log is split (Figure 5).
Note: As the log is being split, do NOT reach forward and attempt to catch the split
wood. Let it fall to the ground.
