Electric Log Splitter

• Before storing, make sure the log splitter is clean and dry. Such upkeep is necessary to ensure years of trouble-free performance.

• Make sure the ram is completely retracted prior to storing the unit. Relieve any pressure by turning the hand wheel counterclockwise, then retighten by turning the hand wheel clockwise.

• Lightly lubricate all metal surfaces before storing.

• Store indoors or in a dry, protected area during severe weather and during the winter months.

• Examine the log splitter thoroughly for worn, loose, or damaged parts.

1. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels. Ensure safety guards are in place.

2. Disconnect the power and ensure built-up pressure has been released from the tool before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting the log splitter.

3. For best operation, keep the blade sharp, moving parts lubricated, and the machine cleaned.

4. Always check for damaged or worn parts, alignment of moving parts, and tightness of bolts and screws before each use.

5. Replace oil as specified in the Maintenance section. Follow all local regulations and laws concerning the disposal of waste oil.

6. Qualified mechanics and electricians must carry out repairs.

7. When not in use, always store the machine in a secure location that children cannot access. Store the machine in a dry environment. The machine can be transported or stored in the ambient temperature range of 77ºF – 131ºF (25ºC – 55ºC).

8. For electric and non-electric log splitters, for best performance, use only hydraulic oil.
