Fuata hatua hizi kwa ugawaji salama na mzuri wa kumbukumbu.
4.1 Preparing Logs
- For optimal performance, use dry timber. Wet or green wood is significantly harder to split.
- Ensure logs are cut to appropriate lengths (max 20 inches) and diameters (max 9.8 inches).
- Place the log firmly on the splitting bed against the wedge.

4.2 Splitting Process
- With the log securely in place, simultaneously press the motor button and pull the hydraulic lever.
- The hydraulic ram will extend, pushing the log against the steel wedge and splitting it.
- Once the log is split, release both controls. The ram will automatically retract to its starting position.
- Repeat the process for remaining logs.
Figure 3: The two-hand control system ensures operator safety by requiring simultaneous engagement of both controls to activate the splitting ram.
4.3 Optimizing Splitting
- For shorter logs, the ram can be adjusted to reduce travel distance, improving efficiency.
- If a log does not split completely on the first pass, reposition it or try splitting from a different angle.
5. Matengenezo
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your log splitter.
5.1 Kusafisha
- After each use, clear wood chips, sawdust, and debris from the splitting bed and around the motor.
- Using a tarp or mat under the splitter can significantly simplify cleanup.
5.2 Mfumo wa Kihaidroli
- Periodically check the hydraulic oil level and top up if necessary. Refer to the specifications for the correct oil type and capacity (3.5 L).
- Inspect hydraulic hoses and connections for leaks or damage.
5.3 Ukaguzi wa Jumla
- Regularly inspect all moving parts for wear and tear.
- Ensure all fasteners remain tight.
6. Utatuzi wa shida
Here are some common issues and their potential solutions.
| Tatizo | Sababu inayowezekana | Suluhisho |
|---|---|---|
| Motor haina kuanza | Hakuna nguvu, kivunja mzunguko kilichotatuliwa, swichi yenye hitilafu | Check power connection, reset circuit breaker, ensure both controls are engaged. |
| Log not splitting | Log too large/wet, knotty wood, dull wedge | Reduce log size, use dry wood, reposition log, inspect wedge for damage. |
| Ram not extending/retracting | Low hydraulic fluid, air in system, faulty hydraulic valve | Check hydraulic fluid level, bleed air from system (refer to detailed manual), contact support. |
| Kuzidisha joto | Improper extension cord, continuous heavy use | Use correct gauge extension cord, allow machine to cool down between heavy tasks. |
