MAINTAIN YOUR LOG SPLITTER WITH CARE
AVOID INJURY FROM UNEXPECTED ACCIDENT
Take used oil to an authorized collection
point or follow the stipulations in the
country where the log splitter is used.
Do not discharge into drains, soil or
water.
Lock the shop. Store the log splitter
away from children and others not
qualified to use it.
When the ram of the log splitter is
in the return mode, keep your hands
off the machine – the log splitter is
designed to automatically stop when
the cylinder is fully retracted. Keep
your hands away from splits and cracks
which open in the log. They may close
suddenly and crush or amputate your
hands. Do not remove jammed logs
with you hands.
It will do a better and safer job at its
design rate. Don’t use log splitter for a
purpose for which it was not intended.
Do not, under any circumstances,
alter your log splitter. This equipment
was designed and engineered to be
used in accordance with the operating
instructions. Altering the equipment,
or using the equipment in such a way
as to circumvent its design capabilities
and capacities, could result in serious or
fatal injury and will void the warranty.
Never try to split logs larger than those
indicated in the specifications table.
This could be dangerous and may
damage the machine.
Don't leave tool until it has come to a
complete stop.
Unplug when not in use, before making
adjustments, changing parts, cleaning,
or working on the log splitter. Consult
technical manual before servicing.
Always clean the unit after each use.
Keep the log splitter clean for best and
safest performance. Follow instructions
for lubricating. Inspect all hydraulic
seals, hoses and couplers for leaks
prior to use. Control levers and power
switch must be kept clean, dry and free
from oil and grease at all times.
Do not straddle or reach across the
splitting area when operating the log
splitter. Never pile logs to be split in
a manner that will cause you to reach
across the log splitter. Only use your
hands to operate the control levers.
Never use your foot, knee, a rope, or
any other extension device. Always
pay full attention to the movement of
the wedge ram. Never attempt to load
your log splitter while the ram is in
motion. Keep hands out of the way of
all moving parts. Never try to split two
logs on top of each other. One of them
may fly up and hit you.
