Do not reach or step across the
rail while the log splitter is run-
ning. This is a very UNSAFE
method which could cause personal injury
or even death.
5. Using only your hand, push the control
lever forward, toward the base plate. If the
log moves before it is contacted by the
splitting wedge, release the control lever to
STOP the wedge, then reposition the log
and continue splitting. Hold the control
lever to extend the cylinder until the log is
split or the cylinder rods stops at its maxi-
mum travel position. DO NOT reach for-
ward and attempt to catch the split wood.
Let it fall to the ground.
6. Pull back on the control lever to the full
retract position. Stop the wedge if the log
sticks (see caution below). It is not neces-
sary to hold the control lever.
Depending on the type of wood being split, a 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 retracting)
and carefully remove the log from 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.
