OpERATION

LOG SpLITTER OpERATION

The Earthquake Mini Electric Log Splitter requires

the use of both hands to operate. The user’s left hand

controls the hydraulic control lever, while the right hand

controls the pushbutton switch. The log splitter will freeze

upon absence of either hand. The log pusher will return

back to the starting position only after boths hands re-

lease the controls.

Split log in the direction of its grain. Placing logs across

the log splitter for splitting is dangerous and may seri-

ously damage the machine. Do not attempt to split two

logs at the same time.

FREEING A JAMMED LOG

1. Release both controls.

2. Once the log pusher completely stops at its starting

position, insert a wood wedge under the jammed log.

SEE FIGURE 2.

3. Start the log splitter to push the wood wedge under

the jammed log.

4. Repeat above procedure with sharper sloped wood

wedges until the log is completely freed.

CAUTION

Never force pressure on the log splitter for more

than 5 seconds in order to split excessively hard

wood.

CAUTION

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 upper part of the log. This will break the

blade or damage the machine. SEE FIGURE 1.

CAUTION

DO NOT try to knock the jammed log off the wedge

using a hammer or other device. SEE FIGURE 3.
