5. OPERATION

This log splitter is equipped with Two-hands Control System that requires to be
operated by both hands of the user: left hand controls the hydraulic control lever
(5) while right hand controls the push button switch (2). The log splitter will
freeze upon absence of either hand. Only after both hands release the controls,
the log pusher starts to return backward to the starting position.
Never force the log splitter for more than 5 seconds by keeping pressure
on it to split excessively hard wood. After this time interval, the oil under
pressure will be overheated and the machine could be damaged. For such
extremely hard log, rotate it by 90ºC to see whether it can be split in a different
direction. In any case, if you are not able to split the log, this means that its
hardness exceeds the capacity of the machine and thus that log should be
discarted to protect the log splitter.
Always set logs firmly on the log retaining plates and work table. Make
sure logs will not twisk, rock or slip while being split. Do not force the
blade by splitting the log on the upper part. This will break the blade or
damage the machine.
