equipped with folding handles for storage, pivoting support for stability and cord storage hooks for
convenience. This log splitter is designed with foot-operated control only. The electrical motor is
protected by a 8.5 amp circuit breaker and the pressure relief valve protects the hydraulic assembly
in case a log gets jammed. If this happens, after about 5 seconds, the pressure plate slowly travels
down to the original position and can be immediately re-activated.

Before You Start Splitting

Before each use, inspect your unit and ensure that all handles, guards and fasteners are
secure and in place. Be sure that all electrical cords are not damaged or broken.
Before use of the long splitter, check it for alignment of moving parts, free running of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation.
Inspect Hydraulic Fluid Level. Remove the Dipstick using the Allen Wrench provided, clean
the Dipstick and insert it to check the oil level. It should be between the two notches on the
stem. If level is low, add recommended type of the hydraulic oil. If the level is too high, pour
out a little at a time into a suitable container.
Reinstall the Dipstick and the O-ring seal. Be careful not to damage the threads of the Plug
and Aluminum Top cover.
Any damaged part of the log splitter should be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorized service center, unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual.
Do not use the log splitter if the switch does not turn it ‘on’ and ‘off’. Have any defective
switches replaced by an authorized service center.

Lubricate ram, vertical beam and guides to reduce wear. Use #2 lithium grease.

Find the Air Bleed Screw on the top of the machine and loosen it by turning 3-4 times.

NOTE: Do not over tighten and strip air bleed screw threads.
WARNING! The Pressure Relief Valve protects the hydraulic assembly when the log is
jammed for about 5 seconds. The pressure plate slowly travels down the original position and can
be immediately re-activated. If the log does not split immediately, do not force the pressure plate of
the log splitter. Stop the log splitter, reposition the log by turning it and try again. If the wood still
cannot be split, it means that the log exceeds the capacity of the machine and should be rejected.
