This will provide a safer work area, by keeping it uncluttered, and avoid the danger of tripping, or damaging the power cord. Remember to retighten the Bleed Screw (#14) when you are finished. Page 6 SKU # 40318 GroundING / Voltage Warning Common household current is 110-120 volts. As long as the outlet used with this tool is rated from 110-120V there will be no complications using it with household receptacles. Plug the tool into a 110-120V properly grounded outlet protected by a 30-Amp., dual element time delay or circuit breaker. NEVER try to plug a 110-120V tool into a 220-240V circuit or serious complications and possible injury to the operator may occur. The plugs have different shapes to prevent this. This tool has a three-prong plug. The third (round) prong is the ground. Cutting off the ground will result in a safety hazard and void the warranty. If the outlet you are planning to use is the two-prong type, do not remove or alter the grounding prong in any manner. Use an adapter and always connect the grounding lug to a known grounding source. It is recommended that you have a qualified electrician replace the two-prong outlet with a properly grounded three- prong outlet. Extension Cords Your tool has a three-prong plug, therefore you must use a three-prong extension cord. Only use rounded jacket extension cords listed by the Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Improper use of extension cords may cause inefficient operation of your tool which can result in overheating. Be sure your extension cord is rated to allow sufficient current flow to the motor. If you are using the tool outdoors, use an extension cord rated for outdoor use (signified by “WA” on the jacket). The extension cord must have a minimum wire size depending on the amperage of the tool and the length of the extension cord. This size is determined by its AWG (American Wire Gauge) rating. The smaller the gauge, the greater the cable’s capacity. The amount of cords used does not matter: Total length determines the minimum AWG rating. Every cord must meet the AWG rating. Use the chart below to determine what AWG rating is required for your situation. Cord length is rated in feet. Harbor Freight Tools can supply UL listed and outdoor rated cords in multiple AWG ratings if needed.

If you have any doubt, call a qualified electrician. Page 7 SKU# 40318 Maintenance WARNING: Before Performing Any Maintenance, Unplug the Tool from the Power Source! Changing the Hydraulic Oil Please refer to Figure 3 on this page, and Parts Diagram on page 10. Make sure the Log Pusher (#49) is fully retracted. Carefully unscrew the Oil gauge (#10) and remove it completely. Position a container under the log splitter that will hold at least 8 quarts of oil. Then tilt the machine to empty the oil into the container. Tilt the Log Splitter the other way, with the Oil Fill / Drain Port up. Using a clean funnel, pour in 3 quarts of Hydraulic Oil. (Be sure to use only clean, high quality hydraulic oil specifically made for this purpose.) Clean the oil gauge (#10) , and carefully insert it to make sure the oil level is between the two marks on the dipstick. Clean the Oil gauge (#10), OIL SEAL (#12), and o ring oil seal (#11) thoroughly, and re-install. Be careful not to damage the threads of the aluminum front Cover (#15). Warning: Be sure to dispose of the dirty oil properly. Take it to your local waste oil recycling center. Never dump it on the ground or mix it with trash. Refilling the Hydraulic Oil Periodically check the level of the oil. It must be between the two notches on the Dip Stick. If the oil level is low, refill using a recommended oil. Sharpening the Wedge After long periods of operation, and when required; sharpen the wedge using a fine-toothed file and carefully removing any burrs or flat spots on the edge. How to Free a Jammed Log Release both controls, so that the log pusher (#49) will be fully retracted. Insert a triangular wedge of wood under the log, and activate the log pusher to push the wedge under the jammed log. Repeat this process using progressively larger wedges, until the jammed log is freed. Warning: Never hammer on the jammed log, or place your hands near the log when attempting to free it.
