5-TON ELECTRIC LOG SPLITTER
3. Hold the Control Lever, moving the Ram towards the Log until the log is split or the cylinder rod stops at its maximum travel
position. Stop the Log Splitter (forward movement), at any point in the splitting process, if you feel an unsafe splitting
condition is occurring. As the log is being split, DO NOT reach forward and attempt to catch the split wood — let it fall.
4. Once the Ram reaches its full forward travel, let go of the Control Lever and the Ram will return to the retracted position.
If the log does not split immediately, do not continue the forward thrust of the ram for more than five seconds. This can
damage the splitter. Try repositioning the log on the splitter or set the log aside.
Depending on the type of wood being split, a log may not always split into two pieces. If a log sticks to the wedge, stop the motor,
and carefully remove the log from the wedge. If the log is stuck onto the wedge and you can’t remove it by hand, a piece of wood
cut into a wedge shape can be used between the log and base to lift the log from the machine as you actuate the lever.
