3. Check that the outlet's main voltage and frequency match the data stated on the model plate (or
"Technical Specifications" in this manual).
4. Plug in the power cable and switch on the motor.
5. Place a log on the beam against the wedge. Make sure that the log is securely on the wedge and
up against the beam. Logs should be cut with square ends and to a maximum length of 40 cm
in advance.
6. Depress the lock handle then pull back on the engagement handle which will drive the ram into
the log. If the log has not completely split after the cylinder has reached the end of its extension,
retract the ram and extend again.
CAUTION: ALWAYS SPLIT THE LOG ALONG ITS GRAIN. IF SPLIT ACROSS THE GRAIN SOME
TYPES OF WOOD MAY BURST OR FLY OUT RESULTING IN INJURY.
CAUTION: IF THE LOG IS STUCK ON THE WEDGE, RELEASE BOTH HANDS AND UNPLUG THE
POWER CABLE IMMEDIATELY. KNOCK OFF THE LOG WITH A HAMMER. DO NOT USE YOUR
HANDS.
When finished splitting, switch the motor off and unplug the power cable.
NOTE: If you experience problems splitting especially hard wood, do not keep pushing on the control
handle. Release the handle and the ram will return. If you continue to push the control handle, the ram may
fail to retract. If this occurs, turn off the power switch. Then, turn on the power switch and continue
operation.

Storage

Allow the log splitter to cool for 5 minutes after use before storing.
