The diameter of the log is indicative—a small log can be difficult to split when it
has knots or a particularly tough fibre. On the other hand, it may not be difficult to
split a log with regular fibres even if its diameter exceeds the maximum. Figures
indicated above are guidelines.

Know Your Log Splitter
KNOW YOUR LOG SPLITTER
The safe use of this product requires an understanding of the information on
the product, this instruction manual as well as a knowledge of the project you
are attempting. Before use of this product, familiarize yourself with all operating
features and safety rules.
Before operating the log splitter, the bleed screw should be loosened until air can go in and
out of the oil tank easily. Airflow thru the bleed screw hole should be detectable while the log
splitter is in use.Before moving the log splitter, make sure the bleed screw is tightened to avoid
oil leaking from the unit.
MAXIMUM PRESSURE LIMITING SCREW
Maximum pressure was set before the log splitter left the factory, and the maximum pressure
limiting screw is sealed with glue to ensure the log splitter works under pressure of no more
than 7 tons. The setting was carried out by a qualified mechanic with professional instruments.
Unauthorized resetting will cause the hydraulic pump to fail to output enough splitting pressure,
or will RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE .
!DO NOT ADJUST THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE LIMITING SCREW!
!
FAILURE TO LOOSEN THE BLEED SCREW WILL CAUSE THE SEALED
AIR IN THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM TO BE COMPRESSED AFTER BEING
DECOMPRESSED. SUCH CONTINUOUS AIR COMPRESSION AND
DECOMPRESSION WILL DAMAGE THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM’S SEALS,
CAUSING PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE LOG SPLITTER.

Operation
OPERATING CONDITIONS
This log splitter is a home-use model. It is designed to operate in conditions no colder than -4°
F (-20° C). It can be stored or transported at temperatures between -13° and 130° F (between
-25° and 55° C).
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Connect the main leads to a standard 120 V 10% (60 Hz 1 Hz) electrical supply that has
under-voltage, over-voltage, and over-current protection devices as well as a residual current
device (RCD) with a maximum residual current rated at 0.03 A.
Operator must be positioned at
the control end of the log splitter
(shown) when the log splitter is
being operated.
This log splitter is equipped with the
“ZHB” control system that requires
the user to operate it using both
hands. The left hand controls the
hydraulic control lever while the
right hand controls the pushbutton
switch. The log splitter will only
operate if both controls are used.
The log pusher only starts to return
to the starting position after both
hands release the controls.

Operation
!WARNING! Never force the log splitter for more than 5 seconds when
attempting to split excessively hard wood.
After 5 seconds, the oil under pressure will be overheated, and the machine could be damaged.
For such extremely hard logs, rotate the log by 90° to see whether it can be split in a different
direction. If you are not able to split the log, this means that its hardness exceeds the capacity
of the machine, and the log should be discarded to protect the log splitter.
The splitting force and speed are governed by a
2-stage control lever. Push the lever to setting I,
about half-way, for faster speed at less splitting force
to split softwood. Push the lever to setting II, all the
way, for maximum splitting force at slower speed
to split hardwood. Shift between stages by simply
raising and lowering the lever.
Break the log in the direction of its growing grain. Do not place the log across the log splitter
for splitting. It may be dangerous, and may seriously damage the machine. Do not attempt to
split 2 logs at the same time. One of them may fly up and hit the operator.
Always set logs firmly on the log retaining
plates and worktable. Make sure logs will
not twist, 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.

Operation
FREEING A JAMMED LOG
• Release both controls.
• After the log pusher moves back to
its starting position and comes to a
complete stop, insert a wood wedge
under the jammed log.
• Start the log splitter to push the wood
wedge completely under the jammed
one.
• Repeat the above procedure with
sharper sloped wood wedges until the
log is completely freed.
Do not try to knock the jammed log off.
Knocking the log will damage the log splitter,
or it may cause the log to fly out of the log
splitter, which could result in an injury.
