If you have the Owners Manual and you need more info I can't help you. Otherwise, Plug it in. Open theBbleed Screw (top backside) several turns (should feel air flow when operating. Place log in carriage. Push and hold the Switch Button (green on mine), push the Hydraulic Control Lever in (they both have to be depressed at the same time).. This should split the log. Release lever and button. Repeat. When finished, close Bleed Screw and unplug.

1. Push and hold the electric motor start button. Hydraulic fluid is then being pumped "sump to Sump"
2. Depress the hydraulic valve lever. Hydraulic fluid is the directed to the splitters ram cylinder and splits the log.
3. Release the start button and the valve lever and the splitter ram will reset.

After placing the log on the track, using the right hand to press the momentary motor power button and hold it to keep the motor running. With the left hand push and hold the acuator lever to activate the ram until the log splits and the ram reaches maximum extension. Release the acuator lever and power button. The motor will stop and the ram will auto retract.
