HYDRAULIC PRECAUTIONS
DANGER! Seek immediate medical attention if hydraulic fluid under pressure
penetrates your skin. See Injection Injury precautions for instructions
before using a pressurized hydraulic system.
1. Do not touch or handle hydraulic hoses or components while under
pressure. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure has sufficient force to
penetrate your clothing and skin. A pinpoint hole may inject hydraulic fluid
into your body. Seek immediate medical attention if this occurs (see
Injection Injury).
2. Never exceed the hydraulic systems load capacity (see Specifications).
3. Do not adjust the hydraulic systems relief setting. The settings are preset
by the factory.
4. Hydraulic oil under pressure is hot and can cause a burn injury if
touched, sprayed or spilled. Allow the hydraulic system to cool before
conducting maintenance.
5. Hydraulic components require regular inspection. Release all pressure
from the system before you inspect it. Replace damaged hydraulic parts
with identical manufacturer's components.
6. Do not attempt makeshift repairs to a hydraulic system. Such repairs can
fail suddenly and create a hazardous condition.
7. Hydraulic fluid has a combustible flash point of 200°F (93°F). Do not
expose the fluid to an ignition source.
8. Change your clothing immediately if sprayed with hydraulic fluid. Store
clothing or rags contaminated with hydraulic fluid in an approved metal
safety can with a spring-closing lid and venting designed to contain a fire.
9. Only use hydraulic fluid in the cylinder. Do not substitute or mix brake fluid
or any other fluid with the hydraulic fluid. This can result in a cylinder
failure and injure the user or bystander. It may also damage the cylinder.
INJECTION INJURY
DANGER! Seek immediate, professional medical treatment if fluid
penetrates your skin. It may feel like a pricking or sting. Do not wait for the
appearance of symptoms. A toxic reaction can occur from the exposure.
Delay in treatment can lead to amputation or death.
V4.0 5 Ton Electric Log Splitter 8142606
Visit www.princessauto.com for more information 7
Inform the medical staff that you have a fluid penetration injury as soon as you
arrive at the medical facility. The severity of the symptoms will depend on the
type of fluid injected. Bring the Safety Data Sheet for the fluid with you to the
medical facility if possible.
INJECTION PRECAUTIONS
Fluid can penetrate the skin at 100 PSI pressure. Fluid escaping under pressure
from the tool has sufficient force to penetrate your clothing and skin. Follow the
precautions below to avoid an injection injury.
1. Always check for leaks wearing a face shield, safety goggles, rubberized
gloves and protective clothes.
2. Release all pressure from the system before you inspect it.
3. Do not use your hands to detect a fluid leak. Use a large piece of wood,
cardboard or paper and watch for discolouration.
4. Replace damaged parts with identical manufacturer's components to
ensure it is rated to handle the pressure.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! Do not touch or handle a live tool with any part of your body that
is wet or damp. Wet skin reduces resistance to electrical current,
increasing the danger of a serious or fatal shock.
WARNING! To reduce risk of electric shock, be certain that the plug is
connected to a properly grounded receptacle.
1. Disconnect tool from power source before cleaning, servicing, changing
parts/accessories or when not in use.
2. Protect yourself against electric shocks when working on electrical
equipment. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces. There is an
increased chance of electrical shock if your body is grounded.
3. Do not expose the tool to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not disconnect the power cord in place of using the ON/OFF switch on
the tool. This will prevent an accidental start-up when the power cord is
plugged into the power supply.
8142606 5 Ton Electric Log Splitter V4.0

b. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
c. Place the electrical cord in a position that prevents it from coming into
contact with the tool and from getting caught by the workpiece. The
cord should always stay behind the tool.
5. Do not allow people, mobile equipment or vehicles to pass over
unprotected power cords.
a. Position power cords away from traffic areas.
b. Place cords in reinforced conduits.
c. Place planks on either side of the power cord to create a protective
trench.
6. Do not wrap cord around the tool as sharp edges may cut insulation or
cause cracks if wound too tight. Gently coil cord and either hang on a hook
or fasten with a device to keep cord together during storage.
LOW VOLTAGE
1. Low voltage is a situation caused when a power tool receives less voltage
than it requires and compensates by increasing the amperage to continue
functioning. The additional amperage causes excessive heat that damages
the tools motor. There are several warning signs:
a. The tool will not activate when switched on.
b. The tool may switch on, but fails to maintain power when operated.
d. The tool’s performance decreases.
d. The tool and power cord are hot to the touch due to overheating.
e. A circuit breaker trips or a panel fuse blows.
2. Confirm the power outlet’s voltage and amperage match those on the tools
name plate or in the manual’s specifications section.
3. Remove any other tools or devices drawing power from the same electrical
circuit.
4. Test the tool by plugging it directly to the power supply and run the tool
with no load.
5. Have the tool serviced if the tool fails to function properly or if the housing
or power cord are unusually hot.

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
Numbered references in parenthesis (#1) refer to the included Parts List. Letter
references in parenthesis (A) refer to the included Identification Key.
1. Fit the support leg (G) into the work table extension (H) and align the
bolt holes.
2. Insert an M8 x 12 bolt (#65) in each of the 5 bolt holes. Secure each bolt
with an M8 nut (#62).
ADJUSTING THE CYLINDER STROKE
You can adjust the log splitter in one of two ways to reduce the amount of time
it takes to complete a cycle when splitting shorter logs. One is to adjust the
length of the ram arm. The other is to install the stroke limiter (#31).
1. Adjust the ram by removing the pin (B) behind the log pusher head and
pull the log pusher forward until a new bolt hole appears in the ram. There
are three bolt holes at two inch intervals to accommodate logs between 16
and 20 in.
2. Shorter logs require the installation of the stroke limiter in one of the two
holes in the work table (D). These limit the log length to 10 or 13 inches.
a. Start the log splitter by pushing in the switch (I) and pulling the
hydraulic control lever (O).
b. Release the switch, but continue to hold the lever when the log
pusher moves past the work table hole. Never install the stroke
limiter in front of the log pusher as excess pressure will damage the
cylinder and log pusher.
c. Insert the stroke limiter plate into the hole. The raised corner is at the
front left. The vertical flange on the right fits between the work table
and the work table extension (H).
d. Release the lever and the ram will automatically retract until the log
pusher touches the stroke limiter.
e. You can further adjust the log splitter by adjusting the ram length as
in step 1.

OPERATION
CAUTION! Do not force the log splitter to split hard wood for more than 5
seconds. This may damage the tool. Rotate the log 90 degrees and attempt
again. Discard the log if unable to split, as it exceeds this tools splitting
force capacity.
CAUTION! The wheels are designed for repositioning or moving the log
splitter a short distance by hand. Towing the log splitter behind a vehicle
will damage the unit and may pose a hazard to bystanders.
1. Cut the log down to a height of 20 in. or less to ensure that it will fit
between the wedge (E) and the work table (D).
2. Adjust the cylinder stroke if necessary.
3. Place the log on the work table so the wood grain is aligned with the
wedge. Ensure that the log is stable on the retaining plates (H).
a. Never attempt to split 2 logs together. The log splitter will eject one or
both logs under great pressure and they may injure you or a bystander.
4. Set the log against the pusher (C) to
ensure that the force will remain
constant during splitting. Ensure that
the log will be applied against the
wedges full depth. Splitting with just
the top of the wedge may damage the
wedge (Fig. 2).
5. Loosen the bleed screw (Q) so the opening is clear of the housing. Do not
open too far, as the screw may fall out.
a. Tighten the bleed screw if repositioning or moving the log splitter.
6. Two hands are required to operate the log splitter. Maintain your hands on
the controls until the log is completely split. The mechanism will stop if
one of the controls is released.
a. Pull the hydraulic control lever (O) with your left hand.
b. Press the switch (I) on the pushbutton box (L) with your right hand.
7. Release both controls and the pusher will return to the starting position.
8. Remove wood pieces from the splitter and clear debris from the
surrounding area. Return the work table to its starting position before
loading the next log.

14 For technical questions call 1-800-665-8685
FREEING A JAMMED LOG
WARNING! Do not attempt to remove a jammed log with your hands or with
hammer blows. The wood is under pressure and could separate and launch
without warning, causing an injury to you or a bystander.
A log may jam against the wedge without splitting. The following procedure can
free the log. The intent is to remove the jammed log without splitting it.
1. Release both controls and allow the log pusher to return to the
starting position.
2. Insert the narrow edge of a split log
wedge under the jammed log (Fig. 3).
3. Start the log splitter and push the split
log wedge under the wood. Release the
controls before the pusher touches the
jammed log.
4. Repeat the procedure with split log wedges that have a steeper angle until
the jammed log is freed. Remove the prior split log wedge if possible.
5. Discard the jammed log and split it by another method.
EXTENSION CORD
1. The extension cord rating must meet or exceed the amperage rating of the
tool. Make sure any extension cord used with this tool is in good condition.
2. Using an extension cord that is too long or has an inadequate wire gauge
will reduce the voltage that reaches the tool, potentially causing a low
voltage situation. As the distance from the power supply outlet increases,
you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Always use the shortest
extension cord available if it is the appropriate wire gauge.
3. Use the table below as a guide to choosing the extension cords proper
length and gauge. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The Length (in
feet) includes the length of the tool’s power supply cord.

4. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord
marked W-A or W. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the
risk of electric shock.
5. Use in conjunction with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). If
operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, the use of a GFCI
reduces the risk of electric shock. It is recommended that the GFCI should
have a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.

REPLACING HYDRAULIC OIL
Replace the hydraulic oil after every 150 hours of tool use. Do not use brake or
transmission fluids or regular motor oil as they can damage the seals. Always
purchase and use products labeled Hydraulic Oil (see Specifications).
1. Return the pusher to the starting
position and shut the motor OFF.
Unplug the log splitter and allow time
for the tool to cool down.
2. Unscrew the oil drain bolt (R) and
set aside.
3. Place an 4 litre container below the oil
outlet, then tip the front end up to
allow the hydraulic oil to drain out.
You may need to lift the front end and
place a support under it (Fig. 4).
4. Refill the hydraulic oil reservoir by raising the rear end until the tool is
vertical. Place supports around the tool if necessary. See Specifications for
the proper amount of hydraulic oil. A funnel may be needed depending on
the angle (Fig. 5).
5. Wait 5 minutes for trapped air to rise to the surface.
6. Clean the dipstick (R) and insert it back into the oil tank. The oil level
should be between the dipstick’s two grooves. Top the level up or drain
depending on the result.

ensure it is sealed.
9. Remove any supports and return the log splitter to the horizontal position.
10. Test the ram several times for proper operation before putting it into use. Do
not use the ram if it still does not appear to be working properly. Have a
qualified service technician service or repair the hydraulic system.
SHARPENING THE WEDGE
The wedge will dull after use. Sharpen the wedge’s edge by removing burrs and
crushed areas with a fine-toothed file.
LUBRICATION
Inspect and lubricate the tool when required. Only use light oil to lubricate the
tool. Other lubricants may not be suitable and could damage the tool or cause a
malfunction during use.
NOTICE! NEVER use a penetrating oil to lubricate the tool. Penetrating oil
may act as a solvent that can break down the grease and cause the tool to
seize up.
DISPOSAL
Recycle a tool damaged beyond repair at the appropriate facility.
Contact your local municipality for a list of disposal facilities or by-laws for
electronic devices, batteries, oil or other toxic liquids.
HYDRAULIC FLUID
Do not drain hydraulic oil into the sewer system or dispose in an uncontrolled
