If the log jams

• Stop thelog splitter.

• Once thepressure plate (3) has returned to its starting

position: place awooden wedge under theend of thelog

nearest thepressureplate.

• Start thelog splitter and force thewedge under thelog using

thepressureplate.

• Repeat theprocedure with alarger wedge if necessary.

Note: Nevertry to dislodge alog which is under pressure, it could

split and ﬂy off with great force and damage thelog splitter or

cause aninjury.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Changing the hydraulic oil

Thehydraulic oil should be changed at regular intervals (about every 150 hours) as follows:

1. Makesure that thepressure plate (3) is in its starting position before pulling out theplug.

2. Remove thedrain bolt (8).

3. Tiltthelog splitter with thewedge end down over acontainer capable of holding at least 4 litres of oil and

wait until theoil has drainedout.

4. Tiltthelog splitter theother way, so that themotor end is down and pour in about 3.5 litres of good quality

new hydraulicoil.

5. Wipethedipstick, dip it into thetank with thelog splitter in thevertical position, pull it out and readit. Theoil

level should be between thetwo grooves on thedipstick.

6. Cleanthedrain bolt and screw it back intight.

7. Recheck theoil level regularly and top up theoil if necessary.

4.2 Sharpening the wedge
