As an added feature to the electric WoodEze Log Splitters, requires two hand operation to ensure your safety is always a top priority

The electric Wood Eze Log Splitters are designed with a two hand operation safety feature. This safety mechanism ensures that both your hands are safely away from the splitting blade during operation, reducing the risk of accidents. This log splitter is equipped with a “ZHB” control system that requires the splitter to be operated by both hands of the user. The left hand controls the hydraulic control lever while the right hand controls the push button switch. The log splitter will freeze upon absence of either hand. Only after both hands release the controls, the log pusher starts to return backward to the starting position. Operating the log splitter necessitates using one hand to engage the power switch while the other hand controls the log pusher. This operational design prevents accidental activation of the machine, contributing to a safer log-splitting experience.

The Trigger type lock out device is adopted to avoid accidental Hydraulic Control Lever
pushdown. To operate the Hydraulic Control Lever, draw the Trigger backward with the
index finger before push the Hydraulic Control Lever forward.

The two hand operation feature is a testament to Wood Eze's commitment to user safety. It helps to prevent injuries and allows for a safer, more controlled log splitting process. It's an essential feature, especially for those new to using log splitters.

FAQ - WoodEze 4 ton Electric Log Splitter

Are electric log splitters worth the money?

Determining the worth of an electric log splitter depends on various factors. Cost effectiveness is a significant advantage, with electric models being more affordable than their gas counterparts. They also require less money for maintenance, fuel, and repairs. Efficiency is another aspect, with electric log splitters capable of splitting a substantial number of logs in a short time, outperforming traditional axes.

Moreover, electric log splitters have the edge in terms of portability and ease of storage, thanks to their compact size and design features like sturdy wheels and pivoting frames. They are also environmentally friendly, producing no harmful fumes, which means they can be used indoors, unlike gas log splitters.

However, if you deal with very large logs, harder woods or need a log splitter for commercial use, a more expensive gas or hydraulic model might be a better investment.

What size electric log splitter is best for residential wood splitting projects?

When deciding on the best log splitter to choose, you have to evaluate the type of wood and the size of logs that you want to cut down. The 4 ton Wood Eze log splitter can split logs up to 15 inches in length and 10 inches in diameter, where the 7 ton WoodEze electric log splitter can split logs that are up to 20 inches in length and 10 inches in diameter.

The type of wood that you are splitting is also an important factor. There are soft woods and there are hard woods.

Softwoods like pine and poplar, which rank low on the hardness scale, can be handled by lower tonnage splitters like the 4 ton WoodEze model. Contrarily, hardwoods such as oak and hickory, which are much denser, often require a higher tonnage splitter like the 7 ton WoodEze model. For larger pieces of wood, you may need to go with a larger tonnage or a gas powered log splitter as these models are designed to work better.

Another thing to consider is the frequency of your wood splitting tasks. Occasional users dealing with small trees and branches may find a 4 to 7 ton splitter sufficient. For those handling larger, tougher logs regularly, a higher tonnage splitter would be more suitable. Likewise if you are a professional tree trimmer, you may need to consider construction grade log splitters.

Remember, these are just approximations and individual needs may vary. Always assess your specific requirements before choosing a log splitter.

How to use the WoodEze 4 ton electric log splitter?

Using the WoodEze 4 ton electric log splitter is quite straightforward.

1. First you want to ensure the log splitter is on a flat and stable surface.
2. Next you will want to position the log you want to split on the machine. The log should be placed such that the grain runs vertically, aligning with the splitter's blade.
3. Then you will engage the two handed operation feature for safety. This means you'll need to use one hand to press the power button and the other to engage the hydraulic ram.
4. Remember to let the machine do the work. Once the log is split, release the controls, and the ram will return to its starting position. Then you will be ready for the next log.

Remember, this machine can handle logs up to 15 inches long and 10 inches in diameter. Always wear safety gear when operating the splitter.

What are some important safety precautions I should take when using a log splitter?

Although the 4 ton and 7 ton Wood Eze Electric Log Splitters come with a 2 hand ZHB safety feature, there are other safety warnings and cautions you should be aware of when operating a log splitter.

How to bleed electric log splitter?

Bleeding the electric log splitter is a crucial step to ensure its smooth operation. Begin by locating the bleed screw on the hydraulic system, often near the hydraulic pump. You will need a wrench and a container for this task. Use the wrench to loosen the bleed screw, allowing the hydraulic fluid to flow out into the container. While performing this, make sure the reservoir is filled to prevent air from entering the system. After bleeding, tighten the bleed screw to prevent oil leakage. This process helps maintain the efficiency of your log splitter by ensuring the hydraulic pressure is optimal.

What are some of the routine maintenance I will have to perform with the electric log splitter?

There are two main things that will need to be maintained with your WoodEze electric log splitters. The first is that you will need to replace the Hydraulic oil in the log splitter after every 150 hours of use.

The following hydraulic oils are recommended for the Wood Eze 7 ton Electric Log Splitter's hydraulic transmission system:

• SHELL Tellus 22
• MOBIL DTE 11
• ARAL Vitam GF 22
• BP Energol HLP-HM 22

The other maintenance task that will need to be performed periodically is sharpening of the wedge. After using the log splitters for some time, you will want to sharpen the wedge of the log splitter using a fine toothed file and smooth any burrs or crushed area along the cutting edge. The frequency that your wedge will need to be sharpened will depend on how often the log splitter is used. It may only need to be sharpened once a year, or could be need monthly.
