EXTENSION LEADS Improper use of extension leads may cause inefficient operation of the log splitter which can result in overheating. Be sure the extension lead is no longer than 10m and its cross-section is no less than 2.5mm to allow sufficient current flow to the motor. Avoid use of loose or inadequately insulated connections.
DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL It will do a better and safer job at its designed rate. Never try to split logs larger than those indicated in the specifications table. This could be dangerous and may damage the machine. Do not use log splitter for a purpose for which it was not intended.
SET UP AND PREPARATION FOR OPERATION 1. Bolt the Support Leg to the Log Splitter, lift the log splitter by the handles at both ends and place it on a 60 – 75cm high, stable, flat and level work surface. 2.
15. Max Pressure Limiting Screw DO NOT ADJUST THE MAX PRESSURE LIMITING SCREW ! The max pressure was set by the manufacturer. pressure limiting screw is sealed with glue to ensure the log splitter works under pressure no more than is listed in the specifications.
LOG SPLITTER OPERATION This log splitter is equipped with “ZHB” control system that must be operated with both of the users hands – the left hand controls the hydraulic control lever while right hand controls the pushbutton switch. The log splitter will freeze if either hand is removed. The log pusher will only start to return backward to the starting position after both hands release the controls.
Always set logs firmly on the log retaining plates and work table. Make sure that the log will not twist, rock or slip while being split. Do not force the blade by splitting the log on the upper part of the wedge (as shown in the diagram).
Adjustment Knob The Handy Log Splitters are fitted with a Ram Adjustment Knob which reduces any unnecessary movement of the ram, allowing for quicker and more efficient use of the tool. Warning: When adjusting the ram movement do not put your hands between the hand knob and the logsplitter, as accidental release of the Control Handle would cause the returning hand knob and handle to trap and crush your hand against the splitter.
REPLACING HYDRAULIC OIL The logsplitter is usually empty when supplied, you should therefore check if hydraulic oil needs to be added. You should also replace the hydraulic oil in the log splitter after every 150 hours of use. Follow the steps below to replace it. Make sure all moving parts stop and the log splitter is unplugged.
SHARPENING WEDGE After using the log splitters for some time, sharpen the wedge of the log splitter using a fine-toothed file and smooth any burrs or crushed areas along the cutting edge. TROUBLE SHOOTING PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE REMEDY SUGGESTED Refer to the “Log Splitter Operation” section Log is improperly positioned for log loading instructions.
