Chapter 4: Operating Your DR 4 -Ton WOOD SPLITTER

This chapter covers the procedures for operating your new DR 4 -Ton WOOD SPLITTER and also discusses basic operation features.

Before Starting the Electric Motor

Tools Needed:

Adjustable Wrench

Small Phillips Screwdriver

1.Inspect the area in which you will be working.

■Place the wood splitter only on a firm, level, supported surface 2 to 3 feet above the ground.

■NEVER operate the wood splitter on the ground as there is risk of injury from flying chips and would not be comfortable for the operator while in use. If necessary, block the wood splitter wheels to prevent them from rolling.

■The site must be free of slippery surfaces and potentially hazardous obstacles. Also make sure there won't be people or animals within a six-foot radius around the wood splitter.

2.Plan your work before you start.

■Have the logs to be split positioned where they can be easily reached. Remember, the maximum log length is 20" and the maximum diameter is 10" for the DR 4-Ton WOOD SPLITTER.

■Split only dry, seasoned logs as they will split more easily than green logs. Green logs may stick on the wedge and jam the wood splitter.

■Have a site located where the split wood can be stacked or loaded onto a truck or nearby carrier.

Important! It is important to adjust the Air Bleed Screw each time you use the machine. You will need a standard Phillips screwdriver to make this adjustment (Figure 4).

Important! Use care, do not over tighten and strip the Air Bleed Screw threads.

3.Prior to using the wood splitter, open the Air Bleed Screw by turning it counter-clockwise four

(4)times. Leave the Air Bleed

Screw open in this position while using the machine. When you are finished using the machine, tighten the Air Bleed Screw by turning it clockwise. Do not over tighten and strip the Air Bleed Screw.
