LOG SPLITTER OPERATION
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 pushbutton switch. The log splitter will freeze upon absence of either
hand. Only after both hands release the controls, the log pusher starts to return
backward to the starting position.
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 push the Hydraulic Control Lever forward.
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
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.
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 logs at the same time. One of them may fly up and
hit you.
