This superior quality, German engineered log splitter from Einhell will provide years of trouble free service. It is easy to use & has been designed to offer a quick & safe method of splitting logs for your home fire or wood burner, saving hours of back breaking work with an axe. The Einhell BT-LS 44 Log Splitter can easily handle logs up to 250 mm in diameter & 370 mm in length. It will cope equally well with freshly cut timber & harder, more seasoned wood. The log splitter has a high grade 1500 watt motor for reliability & employs a hydraulic ram to compress the logs against a heavy-duty cast iron splitting wedge. It exerts an impressive 4 tons of splitting force ensuring fast, efficient work. A load-limiting device protects the machine from being overworked. Dual-handed operation & a protective shield surrounding the control levers ensure your hands are kept well away from the splitting mechanism whilst in operation. This makes the Einhell BT-LS 44 one of the safest horizontal style log splitters on the market. Other features on this compact-sized log splitter include a pair sturdy wheels & a transport handle, making it particularly easy to manoeuvre around & position in a suitable place of work. Solid support legs add to the stability of the machine.
