About Your Log Splitter: This log splitter is a machine designed to split wood logs using a hydraulically powered moving wedge. The log splitter’s gasoline engine is used to pressurize the hydraulic system. This log splitter is designed to split logs up to 24” long, lengthwise with the grain only. Your splitter can be used in either a vertical or horizontal splitting position: • When the splitter is set up to operate in the horizontal splitting position, a log is placed on the horizontal beam and the wedge moves horizontally into the end of the log to split it. • When the splitter is set up to operate in the vertical splitting position, the log is placed on the endplate, upright on its end, and the wedge moves down into the top of the log to split it. The horizontal splitting position is used for lighter logs that can be easily loaded onto the beam. The vertical splitting position is used for heavier logs that are difficult to load onto the beam. The technical specifications for your log splitter are provided in the “Specifications” section of this manual. WARNING This log splitter uses a high-pressure hydraulic system to generate a very strong splitting force. Read the manual completely before using the machine to understand how to safely operate and maintain it. Follow all safety precautions presented throughout this manual.
