Compare the illustration in Figure 7 below with the controls on your log splitter, and get familiar with its features 
before starting to operate. Know how to stop the machine quickly in the event of an emergency.

The control handle has three positions. See Figure 7.

Release the control handle to stop the wedge 
movement.

•

Move control handle BACK or UP to return the 
wedge toward the cylinder. The control handle will

These two locks, as their name suggests, are used to 
secure the beam in the horizontal or the vertical 
position. The vertical beam lock is located next to the oil 
filter. The horizontal beam lock is located on the beam 
support latch bracket. See Figure 7.
