on it to split excessively hard wood.
After this time interval, the oil under pressure will be overheated and the machine
could be damaged. For such extremely hard log, rotate it by 90
o
to see whether it
can be split in a different direction. In any case, if you are not able to split the log,
this means that its hardness exceeds the capacity of the machine and thus that
log should be discarded to protect the log splitter.
Always set logs firmly on the log
retaining plates and work table. Make
sure logs will not twist, rock or slip
while being split. Do not force the
blade by splitting the log on the upper
part.
This will break the blade or
damage the machine.
Break log in the direction of its growing grain. Do not place log across the log
splitter for splitting. It may be dangerous and may seriously damage the machine.
Do not attempt to split 2 pieces of logs at the same time. One of them may fly up
and hit you.
