Log splitter trips RCD or blows fuse each time it starts or after running for a short while – Operating lever loose or not bent correctly and therefore not operating valve correctly

Check that the nut securing the lever is fully tightened.

Check that the face of the lever that operates the valve is bent through a full 90 degrees in relation to the mounting face. If not, remove the lever and correct the bend in a vice.
