OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Proper Operation of the Log Splitter
1.) Load a log onto the beam and against the endplate.
2.) Serious accidents can happen when other people are allowed inside the work zone.
Keep everyone else out of the work zone while operating control valve.
3.) Make sure hands are clear of crush hazard zones.
4.) Push control valve handle FORWARD by two hands to split log.
5.) Push control valve handle BACKWARD by two hands to return wedge to its original
position.
6.) Clear the split wood from the work zone.
DISLODGE LODGED WOOD AS FOLLOWS:
§ Push the push plate completely back by fully releasing the operating handle.
§ Place a wooden wedge squarely under the placed log. Push the push plate in such a way
that the wedge comes to rest directly below the stuck log.
§ If this does not dislodge the log, use a larger wedge, and activate the push plate until the
log is dislodged.
CAUTION:
§ There must never be two persons by the log splitter when a lodged log needs dislodging
§ Wood that is stuck should never be hit off or blocked in an attempt to release it, as the
engine block can break.
§ All safety provisions in chapter 'General Safety Provisions" must be observed when carrying
out this operation. The manufacturer shall not be responsible for material damage or injury to
persons or animals caused by improper use or by noncompliance with the safety provisions.
