What type of logs can I split?
Size of logs
Length
Diameter
The log diameter is a recommended guideline figure, because:
− thin logs can be difficult to split if they contain knots or if the
fibres are too strong.
Do not try to split green logs. Dry logs are much easier to split,
and do not cause jams as often as green (damp) wood.
Hardwood tend to bursting: Exercise utmost caution!
Operation
Two-hand operation
1. Press the operating pushbutton on the electric motor – Fig. 2.
Wait a few moments until the motor has reached its operating
revolutions and the required pressure has been built up in the
hydraulic pump.
2. Press the operating lever down simultaneously – Fig. 3.
The log ram pushes the log against the splitting wedge,
and the log will be split.
3. Release the operating lever as well as the operating
pushbutton. The log ram will now return to its original starting
position – Fig. 4.

Special instructions for splitting logs:
Preparations:
The logs to be split should be cut to the maximum dimensions
(370 mm long, ∅ 50 – 250 mm). Ensure also that the logs are cut
straight and square.
Place the log properly on the log splitter, so as not to cause any
risk of stumbling or falling to the operator.
Bleeding
Open the bleed screw 3 – 4 complete turns – Fig. 5.
Close the bleed screw again when you are finished splitting logs.

Splitting logs:
Always place the logs lengthwise and flat on the main frame
of the log splitter. The log must be enclosed by the log guide
plates. Fig. 6
