Preparation - Perel Tools WLS552 Notice D'emploi

• Preparation

Open the air bleed (A). Loosen the bleed screws by 3 ~ 4 turns whenever the log splitter is being used. Retighten
after having used the log splitter.
Place a log onto the log splitter lengthwise and lying flat on the main body. Make sure the log lies securely between
the retention brackets and that the wedge (1) and log pusher (7) make good contact with the log. Never split the log
at an angle.
• Splitting a Log
Hold the start/stop button (5) pressed and wait for the log splitter to build up pressure in the hydraulic pump. Depress
the hydraulic control lever (6) – the log pusher (7) will compress the log pushing it against the wedge (1). Once the
log is split release the start/stop button (5) and the hydraulic control lever (6). This will allow the log pusher (7) to
retract. If the log does not split immediately, do not force more than 5 seconds and try repositioning the log.
Stack the logs as you progress. Retighten the bleed screw (A) when you are finished.
• How to Free a Jammed Log
Release both controls so that the log pusher (7) will fully retract. Insert a triangular wedge under the jammed log and
activate the log pusher (7) to push the wedge under the log. Repeat this process using larger wedges until the
jammed log is freed.
