any case reaches a temperature only slightly higher than the ambient temperature.
After several hours of use with particularly difficult wood, the pump may become
very hot. This is not a dangerous situation for the machine, which returns to full
functioning capacity after being cooled. On the other hand, it is very important not
to cause overheating of the oil, and thus the pump, by forcing the machine in an
attempt to split logs that exceed the capacity of the machine.
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 grown grain. Do not place log across the log splitter
for splitting. This 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. (Fig.7)
Freeing a jammed log (fig.8)
1. Release both controls.
2. After the log pusher moves back and completely stops at its starting position,
insert a wedge wood under the jammed log.
3. Start the log splitter to push the wedge wood to go completely under the
jammed one.
4. Repeat above procedure with sharper slope wedge woods until the log is
completely free.
Do not try to knock the jammed log off. Knocking will damaged the machine
or may launch the log and cause accident.
