Frequently Asked Questions - 380-076 Meec Tools

How do I start the engine on the Meec Tools 380-076 log splitter?

First, check the engine oil level and fill with SAE 10W-30 if needed. Fill the fuel tank with unleaded 95 octane petrol. Open the fuel cock (move arm right). Close the choke (move arm left) for a cold start. Move the throttle to the left (high speed). Put the engine switch in the ON position. Pull the starter cord slowly until it catches, then pull quickly. Once started, gradually open the choke. Allow the engine to warm up for at least 1 minute before use.

What type of hydraulic oil should I use?

Use ISO VG32 or ISO VG46 hydraulic oil. The hydraulic oil tank holds 4 liters. Always check the oil level using the dipstick and top up if between the markings.

How do I change the hydraulic oil?

Switch off the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop. Place a container under the oil drain plug. Unscrew and remove the plug to drain the oil. Clean the plug and reinstall. Fill with new hydraulic oil (ISO VG32 or VG46) up to the correct level. Replace and check the oil level with the dipstick. Dispose of used oil according to local regulations.

How do I sharpen the blade?

The blade can become blunt over time. Use a fine file to remove burrs and damage along the cutting edge. Ensure the blade is properly aligned and sharpened evenly. Always disconnect the spark plug and ensure the machine is off before sharpening.

What should I do if a log gets jammed?

Release both control levers to stop the piston. Wait for the piston to return to home position. Place a wooden wedge under the jammed log and run the splitter to press the wedge in. Use thicker wedges until the log comes loose. Never use your hands or attempt to knock the log loose.

What is the maximum log size I can split?

The maximum log diameter is 520 mm and maximum log length is 610 mm. However, splitting difficulty depends on wood grain and knots. Thinner logs with knots may be harder to split than thicker logs with smooth grain.

How do I adjust the splitting length?

The splitting length is adjusted using a nut on the machine (see diagram 23 in the manual). Turn the nut to set the desired length. Always ensure the adjustment is secure before operating.

Why does the engine stop or fail to start?

Possible causes: low engine oil (automatic shut-off), fuel system issues, or overload protection tripped. Check oil level, fuel supply, and choke settings. If overload protection has tripped, have it reset by qualified service personnel. Ensure the engine switch is in the ON position.

How often should I perform maintenance on the log splitter?

Regular maintenance includes: checking hydraulic oil level before each use, changing hydraulic oil every 150 hours, checking engine oil regularly, sharpening the blade as needed, and ensuring all bolts are tight. Store in a dry place and keep the machine clean.

What safety precautions should I take when using the splitter?

Always read the manual. Wear safety glasses, ear protection, non-slip shoes, and gloves. Keep hands away from moving parts and cracks in the wood. Operate only one person at a time. Never stand on the machine. Ensure the vent screw is open before use. Keep children and bystanders at a safe distance.

USE

PREPARATIONS

• Place the log splitter on a level, stable and horizontal surface.
  • Familiarise yourself with the controls on the log splitter and how to use them.

Undo the vent screw.

NOTE:

• Compressed air will remain in the hydraulic system if the vent screw is not unscrewed. This will destroy the seals and permanently damage the log splitter.

• Check that the vent screw is properly tightened before moving the log splitter, to avoid oil leaking out.

• Undo the vent screw (Diagram 20) a few turns so that air can flow in and out of the oil tank. The flow of air through the vent hole should be noticeable when the log splitter is in use.

Adjusting screw for maximum pressure

• Do NOT adjust the adjusting screw for maximum pressure.
- The permissible maximum pressure is set at the factory and the adjusting screw is sealed to ensure that the log splitter's operating pressure never exceeds 12 tonnes.
- If this adjustment is changed there is a risk of serious personal injury and/or material damage, or that the hydraulic pump does not provide sufficient pressure.

SPLITTING

Control system

- The control system on the log splitter must be operated with one hand on each control lever (Diagram 24)

Mechanical device with attached motors and wheels, no visible text or symbols

• If you release one of the levers the log splitter will stop moving. The piston will only start moving back to it home position when you release both levers.
  • The log splitter has a two-way valve to control the speed (Diagram 25).

— Press down the levers a little for quick forward movement.

- Press them down fully for lower speed during splitting.

1 = fast

2 = slow

NOTE:

• Never press the levers down for more than 5 seconds when trying to split hard logs.
- Pressing down the levers for longer can cause the hydraulic oil to overheat and damage the log splitter. If the log won't split, turn it 90^ and try again.
• If the log still does not split, discard it.

Starting the engine

NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for at least 1 minute with no load after starting it.

1. Check the oil level in the engine (Diagram 26). The oil tank holds approx. 0.6 litres of oil, SAE10W-30. The engine switches off automatically when the oil level is too low.

1. Fill the petrol tank with unleaded 95 octane petrol.
2. Open the fuel cock by moving the arm to the right (Diagram 27).
3. Close the choke by moving the arm to the left. NOTE: You do not need to use the choke when the engine is hot.
4. Move the throttle to the left (Diagram 28).

1. Put the engine switch in the ON position.
2. Pull the starter cord slowly until it catches, and then pull quickly. You may need to pull it 5 times before it starts.
3. When the engine has started, move the choke arm to the half-open position. After 15 seconds, open the choke fully by moving the arm to the right. NOTE: The engine will stop if the choke is opened too soon.
4. Use the throttle to adjust the speed.

Switching off

1. Move the throttle to the left (idling mode).
2. Put the engine switch in the OFF position.
3. Close the fuel cock by moving the arm to the left.

Handling workpieces

• Always place logs firms on the workbench with the log support.
• Position the log so that it cannot twist, wobble or slide away during the splitting.
- Do not put the log on the top part of the blade, this can damage the blade and/or the log splitter.
- Logs must be split along the length of the grain. Never attempt to split a log across the direction of the grain with the log splitter: risk of personal injury and/or material damage.
- Never attempt to split two or more logs at the same time. One of them could be thrown out and cause personal injury and/or material damage.

mAINTENANCE

Changing the hydraulic oil

The hydraulic oil in the log splitter should be changed after an interval of 150 working hours. Check at regular intervals that the oil level is between the two markings on the dipstick. Top up the hydraulic oil if the level is too low.

1. Switch off the engine and wait until all moving parts have completely stopped.
2. Place a container that holds at least 4 litres under the oil drain plug. Unscrew and remove the plug. Allow the oil to run out.
3. Clean the oil drain plug and replace. Fill up with new hydraulic oil. The hydraulic oil tank holds 4 l. Check that no oil is leaking out.
4. Remove and clean the oil tank cap and dipstick, and then replace in the tank. Remove the dipstick again and check that the oil level is between the two markings.
