IMPORTANT TIPS

1. DO NOT discard packing materials until you have carefully inspected and satisfactorily operated the tool.
2. Before every operation, LOOSEN the vent plug to allow air in and out. Failure to do so may blow the seals and
void warranty.
3. Lubricate the wedge an upper side of the machine body for splitting smoothly.
4. Check the oil level before every operation.
5. Sharpen the wedge periodically.
6. USE only an electrical circuit having adequate capacity as recommended.
7. DO NOT continue to push on the control handle more than 3 seconds if the wedge can’t cut through an oversized
or extremely hard log. Force the tool will cause permanent damage and void warranty.
8. Try to split from another end or cut a small piece from the border instead of the center when you fail to cut
through a log.
9. Remove the handle lever before standing upright.
10. DO NOT expose this machine to rain or use in a damp environment.

OPERATOR ZONE

ONLY operate the log splitter from the operator zone as shown below. The operator has the safest and most efficient
access to the control valve and the beam in this location. Failure to operate the log splitter in this position can result in
serious injury or death.

 ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. This tool is powered by a precision built electric motor. Use only an electrical circuit having adequate capacity as
recommended by the manufacturer -- 115 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool
on direct current (DC). If you choose to connect the tool to a generator, make sure the generator carrying the current
(Amperes) or power output (Watts) at least 50% more than rated.
2. A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the machine does not operate when
plugged into an outlet, double check the power supply.
3. For voltage, the wiring is as important as the motor’s horsepower rating. A line intended only for lights cannot properly
carry a power tool motor. Check the house wiring if you experience circuit breaker tripped or fuse blown even the
motor is plugged into a wall outlet directly.
4. This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet like the one shown below (FIGURE 3). Ensure that the outlet
has a grounding pin that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances to reduce
the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
5. Check that the switch, cable and plug are not damaged before each use to avoid electric shock or short circuit.
6. Use only 3-wire extension cords with 3-prong grounding plugs, and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
7. When using a power tool at a considerable distance from the power source, use an extension cord heavy enough to carry
the current that the tool will draw. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of
power and causing the motor to overheat.
8. Use the chart provided below to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed
cords listed by Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) should be used.

**Ampere rating (on tool faceplate)

0-2.0 2.1-3.4 3.5-5.0 5.1-7.0 1-12.0 12.1-16.0 (FIGURE 3)
Cord Length Wire Size (A.W.G.)
25' 14 14 14 12 12 12
50' 14 14 12 12 10 10
100' 12 12 10 10 10 —
**Used on 14 gauge - 15 amp circuit,. Or 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit.
NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge

9. When working with the tool outdoors, use an extension cord that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by the
letters "WA" on the cord's jacket.
10. Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools or
other obstructions while you are working with a power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious injury.
11. “BLOWING” a fuse or tripping a circuit breaker is usually a warning that you are overloading the machine or have too
many devices taking power from the circuit, or both. DO NOT install a higher capacity fuse!
12. DO NOT leave the motor running unattended.
13. DO NOT expose the motor to rain or use / store in damp locations.

 HYDRAULIC SAFETY

1. The hydraulic system of your log splitter requires careful inspection along with the mechanical parts. Be sure to replace
frayed, kinked, cracked or otherwise damaged hydraulic hoses or hydraulic components.
2. NEVER check for leaks of hydraulic fluid with your hand. Fluid escaping from a small hole can be almost invisible.
Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin causing serious personal injury or even death.
Leaks can be detected by passing a piece of cardboard over the suspected leak and looking for discoloration.
3. ALWAYS seek professional medical attention immediately if injured by escaping hydraulic fluid. Serious infection or
reaction can develop if proper medical treatment is not administered immediately.
4. ALWAYS be sure to relieve all pressure by shutting off the motor and moving the control handle back to stop position.
5. NEVER remove the vent plug from the hydraulic tank or reservoir while the log splitter is running. The tank could contain
hot oil under pressure which could result in serious injury.
6. NEVER adjust the hydraulic valve. The pressure relief valve on your log splitter is preset at the factory. Only a qualified
service technician should perform this adjustment.
7. NEVER operate your log splitter near a flame or spark. Hydraulic oil is flammable and can explode.
8. ALWAYS take a Class B fire extinguisher with you when operating this log splitter in dry areas as a precautionary
measure against possible flying sparks.
