OPERATION

WARNING:

Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you care- less. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.

WARNING:

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating this tool. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible serious injury.

WARNING:

Do not use any attachments or accessories not recommended by the manufacturer of this tool. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended can result in serious personal injury.

BEFORE USING THE LOG SPLITTER

See Figures 4 - 5.

Never operate the log splitter until the bleed screw has been slightly loosened (one to two full turns). Air flow through the bleed screw should be detectable once the log splitter is started. If no air flow is de- tected, loosen the screw until the air flow can be felt.

Air must flow in and out of the oil tank during operation to prevent the seals in the hydraulic system from rupturing.

This tool is designed for home use only. Never split logs larger than 10 in. diameter or 20-1/2 in. long. Some types of wood are harder to split than others. If the log splitter is having trouble splitting a log, never continue to try for longer than five seconds.

Always check the oil level before you start the log splitter.

To check the oil level:

nUnplug the log splitter.

nUsing the lift handle, stand the log splitter on the end with the wheels (see figure 12).

nUsing an 8 mm hex key, remove the oil drain bolt and wipe the dipstick clean.

nWipe the dipstick clean then reinsert it back into the oil tank.

nRemove the dipstick and check to see if the oil level is between the first and second groove on the dipstick.

nIf there is not enough oil in the oil tank, add oil until the proper level is reached.

nIf there is the proper amount of oil in the oil tank, wipe the dipstick clean then replace it in the oil tank and tighten the oil drain bolt securely.

NOTE: See “Replacing Hydraulic Oil” in the Maintenance section for recommended oil or equivalents.
