Splitting Safety
• Always stand inside the operator zone to run the log splitter.
Never operate the log splitter from anyplace else, including the
area in front of the valve handle
• Handle logs only from the sides; never by the ends
• For best splitting results, place log with butt end on the base
plate
• Be very careful to keep arms and fi ngers away from the
wedge and base plate
• Keep hands and fi ngers clear at all times.
• Don’t put any part of your body within the splitting area. Use a
stick if you need to remove debris from the splitting area
