5. Setup

1. Unpack the Tool: Carefully remove the hydraulic nut splitter and its accessories from the shockproof storage box.
2. Inspect for Damage: Before first use, thoroughly inspect the tool for any signs of shipping damage or manufacturing defects. If any damage is found, do not use the tool and contact customer support.
3. Select Appropriate Blade: Choose the correct cutting blade (M8-M14 or M16-M24) based on the size of the nut you intend to split. Ensure the blade is securely installed in the cutting head.
4. Familiarize with Controls: Locate the pressure relief valve (ON/OFF knob) and understand its function before proceeding.

6. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of the hydraulic nut splitter:

1. Prepare the Nut: Ensure the nut to be split is accessible and clean from excessive debris. Confirm it is not a high-strength, heat-treated nut.
2. Position the Tool: Place the cutting head over the nut, ensuring the blade is properly aligned with one of the nut's flats. The half-hexagon shape of the head is designed for a better fit.
3. Engage Pressure: Rotate the pressure relief valve knob to the "ON" position (clockwise) to close the valve and allow pressure to build.
4. Apply Force: Pump the hydraulic handle repeatedly to build pressure. The blade will advance and begin to split the nut. Continue pumping until the nut is split. You may need to reposition the tool and split the nut in multiple places for easier removal, especially for larger or heavily rusted nuts.
5. Release Pressure: Once the nut is split, rotate the pressure relief valve knob to the "OFF" position (counter-clockwise) to release the hydraulic pressure. The blade will retract.
6. Remove Tool: Carefully remove the nut splitter from the split nut.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your hydraulic nut splitter:

• Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the tool with a clean cloth to remove dirt, grease, and debris.
• Blade Inspection: Regularly inspect the cutting blades for wear, dullness, or damage. Replace blades as needed to maintain cutting efficiency.
• Hydraulic System: The double oil pump core features a double sealing ring to prevent oil leakage. Periodically check for any signs of oil leakage. If leakage occurs, discontinue use and seek professional service.
• Lubrication: Keep moving parts lightly lubricated as recommended by general hydraulic tool maintenance practices.
• Storage: Store the tool in its shockproof storage box in a dry, clean environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
