Splitting the Log
- Engage the Pump: Use the two operating handles to pump the hydraulic ram forward. The 2-speed pump allows for faster initial movement and then increased force for splitting.
- Aplicați forța: Continue pumping the handles. The hydraulic ram will push the log against the splitting wedge, applying up to 10 tons of force to split the wood.
- Observe Splitting: The log cradle helps keep the log stable as it splits.

Ram Return
Once the log is split, turn the knob (typically located near the hydraulic cylinder) to release the hydraulic pressure. The ram return spring will automatically retract the ram, preparing the splitter for the next log. This mechanism ensures quick resets for continuous splitting.
