If you are splitting hard wood, make sure no one is standing on the knife side. Specially small children. So the best practice is to make sure keep clear on the right hand side.

Thanks - appreciate that you sped it up, so I could watch unboxing and usage quickly. Some splitters require you open the hydraulic bleed screw before operating. I didn't notice you do that, but maybe that's not required for the HF unit, or perhaps you didn't record that part.

yes it is required to open the bleed valve. It was cut out of the video.

Question - why are you splitting your wood so small. You have fairly small rounds and you split them into quarters? They are already dry! Why not just split in half? I do have this splitter and I recommend if you want to speed up the operation a little, buy an adjustable bar C type clamp from Harbor Freight and just clamp the on off button down, then your switch becomes your power cord! I like this splitter and use it all the time in a 1 handed operation! Had it now for over 15 years and still runs great!

thanks for the comment and suggestion. I am mostly doing it for fun. I live in California near Fresno. Also my stove is a metal stand alone one with smaller door. splitting into smaller pieces to help start and use larger ones later.

It just a random small clamp in my garage, not meant for this as it doesn’t really grip on the smooth bar. Did it with a quick dirty test, should buy a proper one.

I need to learn slowly on video editing. Trying to save viewer time so all clips are on 2x speed now. It is a bad idea since some clips are very scary at 2x speed. Thanks a lot.
