Cocraft LS5T - Before Starting; Splitting a Log

10
ENGLISH
Before starting
• The log splitter should be placed on afirm and level surface.
• Inspect thelog splitter to make sure that all nuts and bolts are securely tightened and that there is no visible
damage to themains lead, theplug or thepower switch.
• Connect themains lead to anearthed wall socket. Thewall socket should be protected by aresidual current
device (RCD) with anactuating current of 30mA. Donot route themains lead where it could be damaged or
where someone could trip overit.
Splitting a log
• Always place theleast knotty end of thelog toward
thewedge, always split along thegrain.
• Lay thelog as stably as possible between thelog
retaining plates.
• Start themotor by pressing and holding in the
power switch.
• Start thehydraulic ram by depressing thecontrollever.
• The hydraulic ram will now force thelog against
thesplittingwedge.
• Release thecontrol lever and thepower switch to
discontinue thesplitting operation, thereturn springs
will now return theram to its starting position.
Important: If thewood does not start to split after 5 seconds despite full pressure: release thecontrol lever
and thepower switch and let theram return to thestarting position. Turnthelog through 90 degrees and try to
split itagain.
Important: Unscrew thebleed screw 3 or 4 turns
to ensure adetectable flow of air to theoil tank while
thelog splitter is in operation.
