ASSEMBLY
Your hydraulic log splitter comes assembled. Unpack
the log splitter near where you will be using the tool. The
log splitter is heavy, use proper lifting techniques when
moving the log splitter.
To complete assembly, insert one OPERATING LEVER
(B) into each SOCKET as shown in Figure 1.
OPERATION
Step 1: Gather the logs you wish to split. Make sure the
maximum length of each log does not exceed 18 Inches
(45cm). If the log does exceed that measurement, you
must cut the log to fit the maximum length of the tool.
Step 2: Make sure the PISTON ROD (D) is fully retracted
into the CYLINDER. If necessary, turn the RELEASE
SCREW (E) counter clockwise to release the hydraulic
pressure. Re-tighten the RELEASE SCREW.
Step 3: Place the log between the Wedge and Piston
Assembly. Rest the log in the metal bracket Cradle.
Step 4: Wear eye protection when operating the Hydraulic
Log Splitter.
Step 5: It is recommended you operate the Log Splitter in
the following manner. Grip one OPERATING LEVER
(B) in each hand and pump the OPERATING LEVERS
in a back-and-forth motion with one OPERATING
LEVER fully forward and one fully rearward as shown in
Figure 2.
Step 6: Repeat step 5 to advance the PISTON ROD
forward. This will push the log against the Wedge and
split it.
Step 7: When you have split the log, remove the split
pieces.
