Oil is flammable and can exploded.

PROTECT YOUR HANDS

When the ram of the log splitter is in the return mode, keep your hands off the machine. Keep your hands away from splits and cracks which open in the log. They may close suddenly and crush or amputate your hands. Do not remove jammed logs with your hands.

PROTECT YOUR EYES AND FACE

Any log splitter may throw foreign objects into the eyes. This can cause permanent eye damage. Always wear safety goggles. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses.

2.1Mandatory use and application

The log splitter is strictly designed for one-man operation, Never allow more than one person approach and work on the machine at the same time .

6

This splitter is conceived for splitter short and long logs for firewood preparation only BEWARE; no cross. grain splitting is permitted .

Always split grain-wise.

When placing the log on the log splitter make sure that the chunk rests entirely and safely on the riffle-plate table

Any other use or splitting method is considered by the manufacturer as misuse. In case of misuse the manufacturer will not be held entirely responsible.

Please make sure to comply with these set-up .operation and maintenance/repair instructions in order to avoid happening of any injury or dangerous condition .

BEWARE: this unit has a log capacity of min 70 mm and max 350 mm diameter.

Danger! Keep clear of moving parts!

2.2 APPLICATION CONDITIONS

This log splitter is designed for operating under ambient temperatures between +5℃ and 40℃ and for installation at altitudes no more than

1000m above M.S.L. The surrounding humidity should less than

50% at 40℃.It can be stored or transported under ambient temperatures between -25℃ and 55℃.

2.3

Never dismantle and reassemble the log splitter by yourself unless you are a professional engineer. Otherwise, the self-assembling may lead to some dangers as below:

(1)Oil leak (3)gasoline engine & pump damage

(2)No pressure (4)pressure is too big for cylinder endurance etc.

3. Operating instructions

3.1 Hand-guards assembly

Uncrate and assemble the special hand-guards on the hand control levers before first use and installation.

The two hand control levers must be fixed to the two hand guards , that means the hand levers and hand guards must be assembled as a whole with screws, then install them together to the machine for operation. Make sure to tight all screws after complete guard assembly.

3.2 Hydraulic specs

The machine is equipped with own hydraulic oil tank located inside the base-stand and is supplied by the manufacture with a first oil fill.

BEWARE: a leaning splitter position during transport may result into oil leakage from the oil plug.

At low ambient temperature the oil in the hydraulic circuit will thicken.

In this case, it is recommended to avoid sudden start-up(splitting without warming the gasoline engine up)that could result into damages and trouble of the hydraulic system..

To assure trouble free operation of the hydraulic system at low ambient temperature, let the gasoline engine run idle and cycle the

7

unit several times till the oil in the hydraulic loop warms up.

Setting of the main control valve is done at manufacturer before shipping. The unit comes to you ready for service so that no other adjustment/installation work is required other than assembly of the hand-guards on the control levers.

3.3 Initial check (before operating) (See Fig 1)

The log splitter is equipped with safety two-hands mechanical controls designed for the operating to keep both hands free from danger and from infringing.

the moving ram zone during the entire splitting cycle.

It is strongly recommended to check the operation of the two-hands control every time before a new use.

Fig 1

To do so, engage both hand levers and hold them down at the same time until the ram slides all the way down. If your system is duly set , the wedge stops upon releasing or just one of the two levers while the ram stops completing its up/down stroke at once.

On the other hand, the ram must recommence its upwards travel to the initial start position (all the way up) as soon as the other levers is also released.

Make sure that the ram does not travel down when operating only one single lever.

Check that both lever spring back into their normal position when the hand pressure is released

3.4 Start-up

Before first use, make sure that the log splitter is in good conditions and that no visual damages are there.

Check all hydraulic hoses, fittings and coupling and to detect and repair eventual oil leaks.

Make sure that all safeties and protections are duly assembled on the machine. Do not attempt to remove or by pass these safeties!

Make sure the that the log splitter will not be damaged or made unsafe by any operation, lubrication, maintenance, or repair procedures that you choose .Should any trouble or unusual behavior be detected, do not start splitting wood until these have been fixed.

3.5 WARNING

1）The location you choose for your machine should be flat, dry, and sold. Check around log splitter for hazards. Make sure that the area is free of slippery surfaces and objects to over. Slippery and icy floor conditions must be duly treated to assure solid standing conditions.

Also there are two holes on the two sides of ground table of log splitter, they can be used for fixing by two bolts to avoid the machine fall off if it is not well placed.

Never reach with your hands at pinch points where they can get caught by the traveling wedge!

2）Never try to split such hard Across-the-Grain wood like above picture and never try to split such Across-the-Grain wood by continuously pressing operation handle or hand lever over 2 seconds!! (see Fig 2)

3.6 Ram travel adjustment (See Fig4)

The ram travel is factory set the maximum log capacity before shipment .You just need to start the gasoline engineer and the ram slides automatically up to the maximum travel stroke. Should your chunks be much shorter than your capacity adjustment on the machine it is possible to adjust the ram stroke accordingly Step less ram stoke adjustment is possible at all times .

Fig 4

ram travel adjustment

RAM STORKE AND JUSTMENT PROCEDURE:

Let the ram slide down to the desired stroke length and shut the gasoline engineer off. When you do this make sure to engage one of the control levers in order to prevent the ram from returning back to its upper start position .Now release the wing-nut(or knob) on the rear grip-handle and pull up the control rod as much as possible .The ram travel is reduced by an equivalent stroke length as the pulled-up rod length

Once the rod is pulled sufficiently up to obtain the desired ram stroke .tight the wing-nut (or knob)back to the original torque Now completing a shorter travel than the original full-stroke .

Later ram travel adjustments to the original full-stroke length can be repeated at all times by simply releasing the wing-nut(knob) , pushing the rod backing and tightening the wing-nut(knob) again.

3.7 Table height adjustment(see Fig 5)

The log splitter table can be hanged-up at three different levels (additional safety pins are available for table fixation on the upper level)Changing of the level can be easily performed without any additional tool or help

TO do this

-slightly lift table up and it out towards you .

-slip the table onto the lower level mount, grip the front rim of the table and slightly lift it up ,and push it down to stop.

hanged up table

-now release grip on the front rim and let the table settle Down, making sure. that the rear table is well and firmly settle on the mounts

Operation

Start the gasoline engine the splitter on.

Load a chunk on the table, close the hand control levers until firmly securing the log by means of the clamps located on the levers.

Now push both levers down at the same time to start the cycle and engage the ram that will immediately start traveling down.

DO NOT RELEASE THE CONTROL LEVERS UNTIL THE CYCLE IS COMPLETELY OVER

AND THE LOG SPLIT.

Should any emergency arise and stopping be required, simply set the control levers free from your grip. When doing this, the ram will immediately travel all the way back up.

As soon as the log is completely split, release both control levers and let the ram travel back to start position and be ready for a new cycle.

Do not attempt to catch the split wood or remove wood sticks from the table by hand until the cylinder rod stops at its maximum travel position.

Clear the table and remove chips and wood debris from the machine before starting a new cycle.

When loading chunks, make sure that logs sits central and firmly with its saw end on the table.

Never place your hands on top of the log when loading the log on the splitter.

Do not split wood chunks with lots of branches, first clean it and remove all branches DANGER, crooked trunk pieces with green/dry branches may burst under wedge pressure!

Make sure to shut the gasoline engine off before leaving the area at work end.

3.11 Log Clearing procedure

Always set logs firmly on the work table, make sure logs will not twist, rock or slip while being split. Do not place log across the log splitter for splitting, not attempt to split 2 pieces of logs at the same time to avoid injury.

Depending on the type or wood being split, a long log may not always break into two pieces and fall to the ground, If a log sticks to the wedge, place the valve handle in the neutral position(stop the wedge from traveling),switch the splitter off and carefully remove or hammer the log off the wedge.

Allowing the log to remain attached to the wedge when it is fully retracted could lead to possible injury and/or damage to the log splitter.

3.12 Pressure Limiting（see Fig 7）

Max pressure was set on the valve before log splitter is packed and leaves the factory. The setting was done by qualified person with professional tools. Unauthorized resetting will cause possible problems for hydraulic system or result in damage to the machine

Fig 7

4 Transport

(see Fig 8)

before handing, moving or transporting the splitter make sure to cut the gasoline engine off(unplug the machine).

This machine is conceived for very ergonomic easy handling thanks to the special wheel arrangement in the rear bottom part of the machine.

Before handling the machine around, make sure to

11

tie up the two control handles together to prevent from swinging out and accidentally injure/damage persons or other equipment standing nearby.

Fig 8 Transport

One man can easily handle the machine on side by himself, Handling asset is leaned back on the wheel while the operator firmly holds it with one hand on the handle of cover plate and the other hand on the cover plate above the gasoline engine.

5.Maintenance instructions

Do not install, repair, clean or handle the log splitter when the machine is still running and without having securely clamped the wedge.

5.1 Daily maintenance

Make maintenance regular part of daily operation. The daily maintenance routine needs to include

-Cleaning of the machine and cleaning of all parts from residual wood debris. chips, dust, bark pieces and eventual other waster.

-Greasing of the sliding pads inside the sliding casing(ram)

-Hydraulic oil check and(in case of leakage)hydraulic hose and fittings check-up to detect eventual oil leaks

-Lubrication of all moving parts

5.2 Hydraulic oil

Periodically check the oil level inside the hydraulic oil tank. When doing so, accurately avoid contaminating the tank with dirt, wood chips, sow dust etc…

Make sure that the splitter never runs without oil or with low oil level. When this happens, air is likely to reach inside the hydraulic loop. Failure to maintain due oil or level may cause poor running and irregular splitter operation(very rough, back/forth or up/down motions)as well as major pump damages.

Please schedule your first oil change after approximately 25-30 operation hours and later ones after each 50operation hours or once a year.

The oil drain plug is location on the bottom tank side while the filler cap is on the upper right hand side of the tank.

The hydraulic system is a closed system with oil tank, oil pump and control valve. Check oil level regularly in inspection glass. Low oil levels can damage the oil pump. Oil Level should measure approx.1—2cm lower than the upper surface of the oil tank. The oil should be completely changed once a year.

z Make sure moving parts stops and the log splitter is unplugged.

z Make sure that no dirt or debris finds its way into the oil tank.

z Collect used oil and responsibly recycle.

z Following an oil change, activate the log splitter a few times without actually splitting

Recommended oil type; DEA HD B46,Shell Tell us 10-46,Esso Nuto H 46

When changing the oil, never let used oil drop down on the ground. rather collect whole of it in a seated container for due disposal. Oil disposal container be of at least 8L capacity if you are

12

using smaller container make sure to drain the more than one round to avoid splitting old oil out on the ground. Used oil is very polluting and should be disposed in accordance with local rules.

After refilling the tank with new oil, let the splitter cycle three or four times and let the air blow out of the hydraulic loop before closing the cap.

5.3 Ram sliding pads

Should irregular noisy knocks be heard while ram is sliding up and down, grease the plastic sliding pads located inside the sliding ram casing. Preferably use commercial grease available in your country.

Make a trial test before starting to work again. The noisy knock should disappear after greasing.

Should you detect an unusually large gap between sliding ram casing and the guide, sliding pads are likely to be worn out. if so replace them with brand new ones.
