FAQs
What type of logs can I split with this machine?
The Lazy-Log electric log splitter can split both seasoned and green logs. However, it's most effective with logs up to 250mm in diameter and 520mm in length.
How do I operate the log splitter safely?
Always wear safety glasses and gloves. Use both hands to operate the machine, as required by the safety design. Keep the work area clear of obstacles and other people.
What is the warranty period?
The Lazy-Log electric log splitter comes with a 2-year manufacturer warranty.
Can I use an extension cord?
Yes, but use a heavy-duty extension cord appropriate for outdoor use and the power requirements of the log splitter.
How often should I check the hydraulic oil?
Check the hydraulic oil level before the first use and periodically thereafter. Top up the oil as needed, but this is typically a rare requirement.
How do I store the log splitter?
Store the log splitter in a dry, covered area when not in use. This will protect it from the elements and help extend its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
The splitter does not turn on.
Check that the power cord is securely plugged into both the log splitter and a working power outlet. Inspect the cord for any damage. Check the circuit breaker or fuse.
The splitter is not splitting the logs.
Ensure the log is within the recommended size limits. Check the splitting wedge for any obstructions. Ensure the log is placed correctly on the splitting platform. If splitting very tough wood, try splitting smaller sections.
The motor seems weak or slow.
Allow the motor to cool down if it has been used extensively. Ensure the log splitter is receiving sufficient voltage from the power outlet. Check for any blockages or obstructions in the splitting mechanism.
